So busy

I'm not sure I have very many followers to my blog since I don't update it often. I am going to add a few things here and there so that I can share with family.

Here is a video of Sam singing "Twinkle Twinkle" to Annalise. She just loves hearing her big brother and Sam loves to interact with her.



This is a dress that my mom saved from when I was a baby. Her hair is so crazy!

Sam "making" muffins in his kitchen. They were delicious!

Sam's little sister could be here in 2-4 weeks! I'm 35 and 1/2 weeks today. We have finalized some details in her nursery, washed up clothes, bought diapers, ect. Sam still isn't quite sure what it all means but he does know there is a "baby's room" with stuff for a baby.

Sam continues to bring laughter to our lives. His favorite after bath activity it to get "crazy hair." In this particular picture, he asked for a mohawk (or as he says, "mohop"). His energy level is still high which might explain why I'm not gaining as much weight during this pregnancy (but I'm not complaining).

I need to take more pictures of the nusery but here is one of Sam "painting." Fortunately, Daddy did all the painting earlier in the day so Sam is just using a dry brush on a dry wall! His smile is so "cheesy" these days!

Next time I post I should have some great news and pictures to share!

Happy Birthday?

So Christmas has Sam a little confused. Everytime he sees a gift he assumes it's someone's birthday (usually his own). He'll even break out into the birthday song. In fact, he breaks out into song for everything these days. He'll sing about Mommy finishing her breakfast or Daddy coming home from work. It's actually quite entertaining and little like Will Ferrell in the "Elf" movie.

We were able to see Santa at Sam's school a couple of weekends ago. While Sam didn't cry, you can see that he didn't look very happy either. I think we are going to try the mall Santa this week just to see if we can't crack a smile!

Sam's favorite snack right now is popcorn. He asks all times of the day and everyday. Here is a video of us making popcorn:

Hope everyone stays safe in the cold and enjoys time with their loved ones this week!

Happy Halloween!

Sam was really into Halloween this year. Since he really likes Toy Story, we decided he would like to be a cowboy for Halloween just like Woody. Even though his costume doesn't look exactly like Woody, Sam didn't seem to notice. He went Trick or Treating at Will's office and then enjoyed handing candy out to our Trick or Treaters (he often went to our neighbor's house and helped him hand out his candy, too).

Daddy and Sam have a good laugh while Sam eats some candy and Daddy puts his boot back on.

In this video, Sam was enjoying a bedtime snack while watching Daddy handed out candy at the front door.

Here are a few fall pictures. Sam really likes pumpkins and posing with Lexi!

Sam has also become the little helper. He wants to help with household tasks like cleaning, making dinner and washing laundry. While his help slows things down a bit, it does make him feel like part of these daily/weekly duties.

And finally, I said in the last post that Sam thinks his baby sister is in his belly. I have a video and I just love how it shows his age right now. The pregnancy is right on track and I'm 24 weeks this week. She is a very active little girl which helps to reassure us that she is growing and strong!
