Enjoying Aunt Anna

Hanging out with his homeboys

More New People

Sammy meets two of his cousins (one who will make her debut in March)

Wow!

I got TWO pictures where all three of them are looking at the camera AND smiling!

Happy 141 Years!

Hanging out with one of the birthday girls.

With Mommy!

All of the birthday people together.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Sammy Claus!

Merry Christmas!

Hey, which of these are for me?

Still loving the Christmas tree

And happy four months! And here are the comparison pictures from 2 and 3 months

Enjoying the Snow

Sammy checking out the snowstorm.

And standing on his own! (with the assistance of the flower box)

Smile Big!

Real giggles!

Decorating the Baby

What are they doing to me?

Well, whatever it is, I'm going to try and eat it!

I think I actually look pretty good in this.

His Newest Face

Searching for the disappearing bottom tooth...

He Loves the Christmas Tree

Looks like he's storing food for the winter in those cheeks

Getting Dressed For The Cold

Sammy thought that Daddy's struggle with his snowsuit was hilarious (so did Mommy)

Things start out fairly easily

Sammy thought it was fun to pull his leg out every time Daddy managed to wrestle it in

Finally finished with the legs, and onto the arms, where Sammy played the same game...

Almost there - just need a few snaps

And we're finished - with a happy Daddy AND a happy Sammy

Quite a bit of work for a walk to the grocery store!

My Little Escape Artist

This is what he thinks of his seat!

Another Uncle Rob Picture...

He's grinning because he knows there is no way he can be blamed for the mess in the background.

Bedtime Stories with Mommy

Another Elmer Fudd Hat Shot

Sammy and David

Sammy is thrilled to hang out with his cousin. David is a little more skeptical.

Well, what happens if I push this button...

Oh, I just don't know what to make of him!

Christmas Party

Patrick's family Christmas party was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and Sammy had a blast. If he wasn't squealing happily in someone's arms, he was sleeping in the sling with Daddy, or sleeping in Mommy's lap.

Snoozing in the sling.

Cuddling with a buddy.

Chewing on his fist while watching Grandma closely.

Fast asleep in the middle of a party.

Its really hard to get Sammy, David, AND Grandpa to look at the camera at the same time.

A bunch of the grandkids!

Sammy's New Best Friend

Sammy got to meet his God-Grandmother Auntie JoAnn over Thanksgiving and they really hit it off!

Sammy enjoys Auntie JoAnn's lap while Uncle Ian tries to determine the best way to steal the baby.

Some Thanksgiving Pictures

Comparing the baby to the turkey.

Aunt Lisa took pity on the abandoned baby and decided to play with him.

Aunt Jenny time!

Yes, we all gathered around Sam.

Three Months Old

Sammy's three month birthday was on Saturday. The Christmas Party was that day, so we have some nice shots coming from then. For now, here are comparison shots from 2 months and 3 months old.

Two month birthday - can't quite keep the head up.

Three months and a couple days - head held high, and quite a bit bigger.

Sammy Squeals

A great video, courtesy of Uncle Rob. Notice the end of the video, where he spots the camera and goes vacant.

We Had Our First Snow!

Bundled up and ready for winter!
