Vitamin D

When Anna saw that it was sunny outside today, she said .. "let's go outside for some vitamin D!" I think this must be something her teacher tells them on nice sunny days. We went on a long walk and got a few books at the library.

Maybe Watching Football Last Sunday Paid Off

I left Anna and Sam alone for about 1 minute today ...



(the only good thing about this is that at least Anna picked the color's for University of Oregon and not Oregon State!)


I had a tough day with Mr. Sam. He is just to big for his swing. His weight is keeping the swing from .. well swinging. Sam LOVES his swing and takes his naps in it. Today I tried to get him to take a nap in his bed and 4 1/2 hours later he took a 20 minute nap in his bed. (Anna calls it "Sam's big boy kitty bed." I hope tomorrow will be better.

Busy Weekend

Pop pop's came over to watch a little football with Sam.



Anna spent a lot of time this weekend playing with her velcro blocks. She made cars, marry go rounds, and "fuzzy towers."



Anna has started to bring Sam toys ... It is nice to watch how kind and attentive she is to him.



Guess who has a new box of animals soaps ... they last a lot longer than you would expect. She carries a soap around in her purse and makes anyone who asks what she is carring to sniff it.

I'm A Mermaid

"I'm a mermaid but I a scared of sharks. They have too many teeth!"

Preschool Party

We went to Anna's preschool party potluck last night. These photo's are not the best; however, you can see that Anna had a great time.

Sam's Overalls

Nana brought over some soft new overalls for Mr. Sam. He has a round tummy and currently pants with a waist band press in a little too much. Overalls are a great solution and he look super cute in them!

The Official 4 Month Checkup

Sam had his official 4 month checkup this morning. He is currently weighing in at 16.14 lbs (90%), 27" (97%) in height, and 41.4 cm (30%) for head circumference. Dr. Bangston thought he was doing great, "a very big and happy boy." He also did some muscle tone checks, Sam check at extremely strong. I did not remember these tests from Anna's 4 month appointment a few years ago. Sam was giving the nurse his best smiles until she gave him the shots ... I think if he could have taken them back he would have.



His poor little swollen legs for the shorts today. I am really happy that they have the Space Snoopy band-aids back in the office.



These are Anna's swollen legs from her 4 month appointment in June 2006.
