Lighter than a sledgehammer

Dave and I spent most of the weekends in May working on finishing the destruction of our home in preparation for remodeling (namely removing the carport wall). At the end of a particularly busy day of destruction when many others were helping watch Sam, I got to hold him for the first time in several hours. My comment was "Wow, he's lighter than a sledgehammer." Although we estimate he's around 17 lbs so he may not be much lighter...

You sure the crab on the bib is not real?

Abby and Sam in Oakland!

It's tough to take socks off this way!

Sam just rolled over!

Sam just rolled over from his back to his front for the first time this morning! Then he did it again! He'd been getting over to his side regularly recently, but never all the way over. The only down side is he hates being on his tummy. So he rolls over and has a moment of shock that he's in a new position and then he starts crying because he doesn't like being on his tummy. The two times he did it was just after waking up from a nap, so we'll see what he does tonight! -Christine

My guys after a long hard day. -Christine

down for the count

Peanut didn't want to sleep in his crib, but was happy to go down after playing on his activity mat for ten minutes. Mom was just a casualty of the situation.

Really Flexible!

Lots of Updates!

I've been remiss with updating this with pictures, so I thought I would give a bunch of updates and pictures.

Sam liked hanging out on a bean bag while we visited Justin and Alex and played catch phrase. Somehow he always go stuck with the hard words...

Dad and Mom had some help from their friends this week as they demo-ed some of their house preparing for the framers who showed up today!

Peanut was not all that excited about visiting the Wild Animal Park, but I have to admit - I was a little bit concerned when the cheetah started pacing in front of the fence.

Yawn....beautiful girls bore me. There's only room for one woman in my life and that's mom!

Although, I must say, Dania certainly does appear to have a mighty tasty shoulder!

Whoops....face plant into the swing.

Sam got a nice visit from Will, Phoebe, Hazel and Gus!

Sam laughed at both mom and dad today! Well maybe he laughed with mom and at dad, but it was a musical sound. It is amazing as he figures out how his voice works!

That is MISTER Peanut to you.

Sam and Eli were hanging out at the milk bar, but apparently Eli had reached his limit
