Sweet Samuel! He's getting so big. Since our last posts about his doctor's checkup, i'm sure he's grown some. He has also rolled from his back to his belly. So he can roll both was, though the happenings of which are sporadic. He's such a happy baby, and loves to be talked to, and will gladly "talk" back to anyone who will listen. I'm pretty sure he's working on some teeth already, and therefore he has an abundance of spit with which to make bubbles, his new favorite thing to do. What a joy he is!

I've found my knees

A few weekends ago we took our first trip to the zoo for the year. It was a ton of fun, however there were a ton of people, so this was the best shot we got. The kids in a wagon in the parking lot!

We took Samuel for his 4 month check up this morning. And the doctor said he was a beautiful baby. We tend to agree! He has grown so much in the 2 months since his last visit. He is now 14 lbs and 12 ozs and is 25 1/4 inches long. What a big boy! He's my sweetie and getting too big too fast!

All the cousins

Josiah had a great egg hunt. Though it took him twice as long to find his eggs.This was because with each one he'd stop and open it and check out what was inside.

There is something under there

Look at all those great eggs! Josiah and Abigail had a great time coloring eggs last weekend. Samuel slept like a good boy upstairs so we could get it all done. Maybe next year for the little man.

Last Wednesday, Abigail participated in a Hop-A-Thon at her school. The whole week was geared around learning disability awareness and the Hop-A-Thon capped off the week. She ended up raising over $200 for muscular dystrophy!!!! So amazing! Thanks to all of you who sponsored our little hopper. Check out this video, you'll see that they had a great time for such a worthy cause.

Guess what I can do!

Today while hanging out with Abigail and I Samuel reached his first major physical milestone. He rolled over from his belly to his back. He even surprised himself I think. But we were all very excited, especially big sister Abigail. He rolled from his belly to his side, then laid there for a minute. I really was tempted to push him the rest of the way, it was so exciting, but I know he needs to do it on his own. And a minute later, sure enough, he made it to his back. What a big boy he is becoming! Four months old next week, where has the time gone?

Last night Samuel was hanging out in his bouncy seat (what would we do without it), and as is is nature recently, I started talking to him and he just smiled and laughed right back at me. He is such a good boy, and getting so big, so fast! Enjoy his giggles on this video, I bet you'll be laughing too.

While the big kids were swinging, and I pushed Josiah, Samuel had a great time just hanging out in his stroller watching the action and enjoying the outside.

Josiah has graduated to the big boy swing, he really loves to be pushed really high. This is the reason he is not smiling in this picture, I had to step away from pushing him to take it, and he DID NOT like that.
