VIDEO: Brain Freeze

This was Sam's first time eating an ice cream. He got a bit of a brain freeze - check out the face he made!

This photo is a bit out of focus, but it really captures what Sam does all day... he runs around REALLY fast!

Sam is plotting some mischief: "Hmmm... should I stick my hands in the refrigerator door, climb on a table, bang on the window, or bite somebody?"

Block party


Sam masters new skills all the time. He can now stack 4 blocks, roll the ball and his cars back and forth, and imitate adults gestures (for example, throwing his hands on his head, clapping, and such). He is also currently growing his forth tooth (top front, left), which is now about half-way out.

Sam decided, why bother learning words when you can easily make your own? Two more new "words" in his vocabulary: "Brrrrmmm-brrrrm", which means "toy car", and "Ta-ta", which means "book".

We are transitioning Sam away from pacifiers, so he has taken to falling asleep with his favorite toy - books :)

VIDEO: Sam is making a splash.

For some reason Sam really likes sharing his toys. While his mom was sitting on the couch, he brought all those toys you see one by one and gave them to mom. Happy with his work, Sam is resting on his laurels (or rather, on his pillows).


"Waiter, what are today's specials?" Sam is contemplating what to "order" while celebrating his cousin Jake's birthday at the Cheesecake Factory.


To make a good use of his library card, Sam went to check out some books at the library in the kids section.

Sam is quickly building his vocabulary. He understands lots of words, but can only say a handful at this time. The ones that come out consistenty: "Ammam" is "feed me", "Bah" is when something fell and needs to be picked up, and of course, "Papa", "Mama", and "Obama".

Just kidding about that last one. He is more of a libertarian (or maybe a liberal republican) in his political views.
