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! 
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!
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!
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!
Sam was in awe of it all. He was so exhausted that he went to bed at 5:30 that night.
Natalie's crawling now!
Everyone watching to see if she can crawl over legs.
More swords!
Sam thought I was just hilarious!!
Brothers!
But Sam got mad quickly. I kept a smile the whole time.
Outside for a walk as a family. We just walked a couple blocks to get out of the house on a 40 degree day.
Sam was still pretty bundled, but he stayed awake the whole time and didn't cry!
Have a great week!
Here's Sam in a sweater that Mommy used to wear.
Here I am with my Valentine's Day present. Mommy and Daddy thought that I get plenty of sugar so they got me a pirate set. Mommy has to learn to tie the scarf in a more pirate manner, but I was ok with it.
Here I am at Play N Wisconsin!
Had to include one of Sam sleeping there for good measure!
Today I have a play date with "Baby" Sophie and Baby Natalie. I'll try to get some pictures to share!
