More Sam and Me too!

Here are lots of pics of Sam and of me too. We have had an overall great week. Sam is a very good sleeper compared to how I was :) He just needs to work on going to bed before 1am and not sleeping all day then, but hopefully we will get there. Mommy says she is just grateful for the 3 hour stretches Sam gives her.

Enjoy the pictures!

Daddy and I were wrestling (very loudly), and Sam was oblivious to it all!

Here is the close-up...

I still love to hold my brother every chance I get. I would love to carry him around, and I ask every day. Mommy and Daddy say I have to be a grown up so I figure if I keep asking I might end up being a grown-up one of these times.

Ready to go outside for the first time. It was nice to have some 55 degree days before the cold hits!

Sam got his first bath at home so I gave my baby a bath too. Of course Sam lost his cord (skin as I liked to call it) the next day so he will get a tub bath next time.

He didn't like it a whole lot. My baby on the other hand did. She got a full bath complete with one of the toys I take in my bath tub.

Uncle Jay and Aunt Amanda came to meet Sam, and I got a new Bumble (I am very into Rudolph still).

This is how Mommy and Daddy found me Sunday night after a day full of visits from all my grandparents and Amanda and Uncle. I NEVER fall asleep like this. Oh, and if you're wondering, I am wearing Daddy's tie and a sleep mask.

Sam is HERE!!

Hi Everyone! My brother Sam is here. He came on Monday, one week early, and was a little naughty (or so I like to say). He had been turned the right way inside Mommy but then turned the wrong way on Monday. Mommy had gone to the doctor and her blood pressure was up so they decided to induce her (not sure what that word means) on Monday. As they were getting ready to do that, they discovered that Sam had turned around so they had to do a C-Section instead (again, not sure what that word means either). The C-Section went fine and the important thing is that Sam is here! I love my little brother, and love smothering him with hugs and kisses and I want to hold him all the time. Mommy and Daddy will say, "you can hold him one more time" and my response is always, "no, 5 more times".

Here they are after surgery. Sam is a little bit awake. He was very alert and awake all during the recovery room.

This was after his first bath. He didn't enjoy it very much. I remember that I wasn't a big fan of that first bath either.

Our first family picture.

At home!

Here's Sam in his bassinet winking at everyone!

I'll be back soon with more updates!

Halloween Fun!

Above are some pictures from Halloween. I got to go trick or treating 2 times, and I had a great time (once I got over my initial fear each time). I did very well saying "ROAR trick or treat".

Mommy wants me to write my funny comment of the week so here it is. Uncle and Amanda this is for you (from watching Rudolph).

Joey: Mommy, where is my tiger?

Mommy: In your bed, I think.

Joey: runs and looks, comes back "No, it's not in my bed, but that's ok because I'm independent."

Have a great week!
