Summer day

We went outside to enjoy a beautiful summer day (sunny and 88F/31C). Here Vic and Sam are hanging out at a park nearby.


And, of course, Sam misses his grandma Vera, who had to go back to Russia last week to help out with her second grandchild - Elena's brother's baby who is due to be born any day now. Here, Sam is hanging out with grandma before she left, asking her for any tips on how to create mischielf for his parents.

Tooth!

Yesterday Sam finally got a tooth. It's one of the front teeth on the bottom, on the left side. We are so excited! Right now you can barely see it but I am sure he'll be biting everything in sight in no time.

Sammy also learned a new fun game - opening chest drawers and sticking his fingers in between them. Too bad his parents were such party poopers and installed child-proof locks so he can't open the drawers anymore.


Sam went to hang out on the grass in our local park. Although he crawls at home all the time, he couldn't quite figure out how to crawl on the grass, but decided to try eating it instead (too bad the evil parents ruined that fun game as well and didn't let him indulge his grazing tendecies)

Sam is learning other new skills as well. He now experiments with putting things on top of each other, such as putting a toy on the table. He likes to gather his toys in his little basket as well. We also weighed him today and he is 25.6 lb (11.6 kg) - growing very fast.

Historic Fosterfields Farm, Morristown, New Jersey


This is an operating farm that was preserved since the mid-19th century. Here, we got to see a demonstration of how the cows get milked.


Sam was really excited to meet some pigs.


The farm also had a collection of historic cars and carriages from the beginning of the 20th century, which used to belong to the family that owned the farm then. Sam: "Beep-beep"!

Photo op

We took Sam to the mall to take some photos of him. Here's how they came out:

He was a bit afraid at first but then really enjoyed the photo shoot.

Sam couldn't stay in one place even for a second!

Sam really liked this bear, he even started giggling when he saw it.
