Trouble

This is what I found when I heard Sam wake up from his nap.  This boy is gonna be trouble!

8 Months Old on Father's Day

Sam turned 8 months old yesterday on Father's Day.  We had such a great day all hanging out together.  He's a lucky boy to have Wyatt for his daddy.  It has been an eventful month for Sam - we have a full-blown crawler now!  This boy is definitely on the move.  He also said his first word - "Mama"!  I like to think that he knows what it means.  Not much to report in the tooth department - still pretty gummy.  (UPDATE: First tooth - bottom right - pushed through on the 19th!) Here are a few pics of our big 8 month old!  The sign didn't make it very long.

Such a ham

Flashback

 "Lil' Wyatt", "Wyatt Junior" - what do you think?  One thing is for sure - the 80s are back and that Izod outfit is still lookin good!

First shots of Summer

Nothing says Summer is here like that first dip in the pool and swinging outside.  Here are a few shots of Sam's first taste of Summer.

Maifest

Maifest 2012 was a blast!  Cousin Jake was the Junior King over the Court of "A Make Believe Adventure".  He was an awesome pirate king, complete with a life-size ship!  Sam loved his first Maifest in Brenham.  The all-you-can-eat pass at the Blue Bell tent lost money on Wyatt and Ryan and we had a great time dancing under the pavilion at this 122-year-old celebration of our German heritage!

Fun Visit with Big Dan and Uncle Rusty

A couple of weeks ago we had a fun visit from Big Dan - coming all the way from Amsterdam - and Uncle Rusty - coming all the way from Boston.  Sam loved hanging with them and we did too!

Good morning Uncle Rusty

Thanks for coming to play with me

Rocking into 7 Months

Happy 7 Months Sam!

Not crawling yet, but this week Sam started rocking!  He also battled his first case of croup, but he didn't let that get him down.  It was an eventful month with Maifest and Mother's Day - more pics to come of all the fun. 

Happy!

Getting tired
