vmlvuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv o;/x23q`edWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS6 - By Samuel

I am such a big boy now! Let me tell you. I am into everything. I can push myself into sitting positon from my tummy; I can close the cupboard doors (although mommy says thankfully I can't open them); I eat and sleep on a lovely schedule; I wear size 12 months; and what else... oh yeah I got 5 new teeth last week!!! That was rough. Pretty soon I will have a really grin and not just gums showing. So I am including some photos and vidoes of moi! I really hope you enjoy them. Please give them your consideration for the up coming award season! Ciao! Samuel.

Laguuuuna!!

I had my first trip to Laguna and I loved it! I was such a good boy- hoping that maybe we could stay forever, but we came home- boo! I swam and slept and played. It was so nice and cool there. And all my friends were there- everyone loved me. I hope I get to go back soon.

SO much is going on!

Well as much as goes on for a baby anyway. I just turned 7 months old on wednesday! I am getting so big- at my last Dr's appt. I was 50th% for weight, 75th% for head circumference (more room for my big brain) and 94% for length! NBA here I come! I have three teeth, so my smile is a little lopsided, and I went on my first family vacation to Laguna. When I say family I mean most of Burbank. Now I just scoot around the floor and eat a lot. I am so interested in everything but my favorite thing to play with is PAPER! I just cannot get enough of this stuff- it crinkles it rips it turns mushy when you lick it and it tastes decent; better than Mommy 's homemade babyfood, gag me with a spoon! Soon I will be crawling, I'll let you know when I go for it. And I am so loud- I just sqeak, squeal, squawk, grunt, groan, howl, and babble on and on. Take care stay real-

Here is me making noises:

July! Deedle I deedle I.

Hi there! Samuel here. So you know how I was telling you about that sharp thing in my mouth? Well another one was there three days later! Youch! I am such a big boy! Theres this new thing I tried where I sit up all by myself, and then I play this game. I lean a little to the side or the back and Mommy jumps to try to catch me but I already have it under control- silly Mommy. She's quick but sometimes we both miss and I end up on my face or back. It sure is hot lately, I guess this is what summer is all about. Lately I have been swimming a little. I don't know if I like it yet. Also I saw my first fireworks! Wowee! They were loud but it didn't bother me, I liked the lights. Well I gotta go eat- later skaters.

What's a China?

I have a question? What is a China? Mommy says that is where Daddy is, but he has been gone for a long time so I was just wondering what that is? Is it like a crib or like a carseat? I hope not- those are horrible. So anyway I turned 5 months old the other day and the next day this sharp thing was in my mouth! Yikes- where did that come from? What a stinker. I hope that never happens again! Well here is a new video I made a message for Daddy. Come home soon Daddy!- That is what I am saying in it. Talk to you all in July- catch you on the flipside!

June Gloom

Wow June is here- time flies! I am growing up so fast. I will be 5 months old this month. I haven't gotten a tooth yet but I sure am a droolin fool. Lately I went on a few little getaways. Mommy, Gramma and Aunt Anna and I went to Laguna Hills to watch Aunt Anna run a half marathon. Well we visited all the malls within a 10 mile radius, that was fun ( sarcasm intended, I pretty much slept through the malls). Then Mommy, Daddy, Gramma. Grampa and me went to San Diego. I liked it there and Grampa played golf and Daddy visited Todd.

These days I can nearly eat my weight in food. I have had things shoved in my mouth like rice cereal, oatmeal, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes and apples all in liquid form. I think I will pass on the peas- not my favorite, although I will put up with them if thats all she has. I also visited great granddad on his 89th birthday- he's getting a little old, I think I saw a wrinkle.

SO here are some photos from my latest excursions and fun times.

Hooray! May is here! I have a good feeling about May, this month I plan to rollover many times, sleep through the night, get a tooth, laugh my head off and turn four months old. Mommy and Daddy have their birthdays in May too! Mommy also had her first Mother's day- So Exciting! So here is the first item checked off my list- laughing. Mommy is seriously so funny, I think she has learned from watching Ellen on TV everyday.
