Happy Friday!

So, it looks like I've been neglecting the blog since 08 has arrived! Really, there just hasn't been much new to report. I took a look at what pics I could post this morning, and for some reason, the only ones we have are Sam wearing a couple different hats, literally. So, here you go...




I'm back at school now, and so far, things haven't been too busy, so it's nice to ease into it. Sam is working hard at crawling. He now knows to put his knees on the ground, but he still doesn't realize he should lift his head up, so he scoots along on his hands, knees, and forehead. We are pretty sure he will get some rug burns on his forehead if he doesn't figure this crawling thing out soon! It's pretty funny to watch. He can definitely get to where he wants to go though. Last night we were putting piles of toys about five feet away from him, and he would quickly manage to get to the toys each time. Unfortunately, in the pile of toys, there was always a nuk, which is the first thing he grabs and puts in his mouth. He loves that nuk, and it will be a hard habit to break, I'm sure! I'm still making most of his baby food, and so far, he has liked EVERYTHING! Sometimes he makes a funny face for the first bite or two, but he never refuses anything.

Last weekend we enjoyed a visit from Peter's parents before they headed down to Florida. Only 83 more days until we get to go down to visit them! They were able to babysit Sam on Friday, and Peter and I had the chance to go out to dinner with Beth and Marcel, and then join Shannon and friends for a birthday celebration. On Saturday we had a lot of fun with Candy and Jeremy as we ate pizza and played games for hours - Loaded Questions, Taboo, Cranium, AND Trivial Pursuit. We had a great time! Not much on the agenda for this weekend except lots of errands, but hopefully we'll get some video of Samuel in his crawling attempt to post on here. For now, here's a little video to start off your weekend...
