Someone's in a good mood

Had to share these photos of Sam, mugging for the camera.

Baby grub

Recently, Sam discovered that he can hold his own bottle. He also quickly thereafter decided it wasn't worth the effort when you have a perfectly good parent willing to hold it for you. Luckily, we got a shot of him holding it, just for the record.

We have officially started on solids. So far, Sam has tried rice cereal, mashed banana, apple sauce, pear puree, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, avocado, carrot, and peas. Of those, his favorite is banana and pear (of course). He pretty much hated avocado.






Here he is wearing some squash.

Hippo birthday!

Happy 6 months to Sam! Here's the big boy celebrating with his favorite stuffed hippo and matching hippo hat.

Visit with Grandma

Bruce's mom stopped by to see us last Sunday, and Sam was so excited! Of course it looks like we caught them plotting something naughty when we took this shot.

Informed consumer

Sam's a big label reader.
