Home and the Park

Sam and I have been pretty busy playing at home and also outside (more last week than this week though).

Here is Sam doing some tummy time. Mommy made me put up the picture with the frog on his behind!


Happy Sam!
Another happy Sam...and no, he isn't smiling because I am at school when this was taken :)

Sam and Daddy sleeping on the couch...

At the park for the first official visit this year! Sam liked it but ended up falling asleep (as usual).

Can you see me?

I went on the big swings this year. I did really well!

Taking a nature walk with Daddy...

Have a great weekend everyone!

What I've Been Up To!

I've been keeping busy lately and enjoying this beautiful weather!

Here I am in my cowboy hat and boots that Grandma and Grandpa Hyland brought me from San Antonio.

Funny look at Sam...
Pirate fighting with Uncle Jay and Aunt Amanda. It doesn't get better than pirate fights for me!

Happy St Patrick's Day. You can't see Sam's bib very well, but he was celebrating!

I got to go to the library in Monroe to make some crafts and listen to a story.

My shamrock crown...

We went to a mexican restaurant then to eat lunch and hear a mariachi band. I listened to the mariachi band more than I ate...

Sam wore a hat to block out some of the noise since it was kind of loud, but he still slept through it all!

Later in the afternoon, we got to watch a parade! I was very nervous about the leprechaun so I had to stand between the stroller and the wall and have Grandma, Grandpa and Mommy stand on both sides so it couldn't get me.

While I was enjoying the weekend, Daddy and Grandpa Rikli were up in the UP hunting. They got some pigs!

Sam had to dress as a pirate, and as usual he was very surprised!

Have a great week!

I have a lot of pictures to post this week. Mommy dressed Sam up both days this weekend because he is so happy when he first wakes up in the morning. I, on the other hand, need time to wake up, which is why I am in my jammies in all of them.

Sam, the Badger fan...

Cute little boy in his matching outfit with hat and socks...

RRR, I've got a surprised prisoner!

You can't get away from me, Sam!

When I go to Grandma and Grandpa Hyland's, I now play with Mommy's old Sylvanian figures and Uncle Jay's He-Man figures. I have a blast with them!

I helped set the table last weekend...

Here is the finished product. It doesn't look quite like it does when others do it, but I'll keep trying!

Watching a cowboy show with Grandpa. I had to have my own gun, hat and holster of course!

The last attempt with the Big Brother/Little Brother shirts because Sam has outgrown his now!

One day Sam started crying from his nap right when Mommy was getting supper out of the oven. I told her I would go check on him, and this is what Mommy found when she came back. I climbed in his crib and got Sam to stop crying by talking to him.

Here is Sam doing some tummy time. He is getting stronger and can hold his head all by himself now. He has an occasional wobble but doesn't need it supported much anymore.

Sam is also starting to hold toys and get them towards his mouth. Let the drooling begin!

Great-Grandma!

Sam and I wanted to send out a HELLO to Great-Grandma! We hope you are feeling better, and we love you! Sam is so excited that he will get to meet you soon :)
