Breakfast

A few pics of Sam enjoying his breakfast. He really likes oatmeal and bananas...sweet potatoes too!

Let's get started!

Yummm

All done!

Happy Easter!

Sam had a great first Easter and can hardly wait until he can hunt eggs next year. He enjoyed a visit from the Easter bunny and fun family time.

Here is Sam's nest, waiting for the Easter bunny to bring presents. Wyatt tells me this is a Brenham tradition, but we're keeping it alive up here in the Big D!

A close up of the nest. The traditional choice is bluebonnets (of course) with a touch of red blankets (or indian paintbrushes, as Wyatt calls them), but we city folk had to improvise a little with what was blooming in the yard.

The Easter bunny came and left presents by the nest!

Sam's version of opening presents is trying to eat the tissue paper. This resulted in a Papa Smurf mouth, complete with blue lips and tongue.

Easter dinner

All tuckered out

Cousin Huddy

Sam already looks up to his big cousin Hudson, who takes good care of him. Hudson shared his chair to watch a little March Madness with Sam the other weekend. I have a feeling these cousins will do lots of sports watching together in the future!

Daddy's Boy

Sam loves his Daddy and soaks up the mornings and evenings with him during the weekdays. Here is a typical day...

A little morning love after reading a book

Not thrilled Daddy has to leave

But here's a smile to send him off to work

And here are lots of kisses when he gets home

And a kiss on the nose too!

Happy 5 Months on St. Patty's!

Top o' the mornin to you! Sam turned 5 months old on St. Patty's day and we headed to the Scripps' annual St. Patty's shindig near the Greenville festivities to celebrate. He had a great time! He's quite the mover and shaker these days - rolling over, getting close to sitting up all by himself, and enjoying many jumping sessions in his jumparoo. He's getting the hang of rice cereal in the mornings and loves to dance with us, or maybe he's just laughing at us and not with us! Here are a few pics from St. Patty's...

Ready to rock and roll!

Wyatt's favorite holiday and favorite day in Dallas. He's quite resourceful - handy as a pocket on a shirt. He made the Bob double as a stroller and cooler!

Getting ready for Easter

Sam meet Mr. Bunny

Petting Mr. Bunny

Kisses for Mr. Bunny

Hoping Mr. Bunny puts in a good word for him with the big guy

Seriously preppy

Looking pretty serious, and preppy, in his polo (thanks Sal!). Pictures like this make us want to slow him down - he's growing up too fast!
