Sam's smile...

Sam already looks embarrassed by his parents in this pic.

Sam just continues to be such a happy baby. Whenever we go to the store he just charms anyone who smiles at him with his big grin. The funny thing is that we can hardly ever catch it with a camera. As soon as the camera comes out he becomes a deer in the headlights and stops smiling to stare at the camera. ( Thus in most pictures he has a slight dazed look to him) Nana and Papa finally captured a smile, how be it, it is not his classical toothless grin.

Sam just can't wait to get on the move. He loves trying to scoot around on his tummy and likes to stand up. We just figured out that he will try to walk when we hold him up with his arms (of course he is awfully proud of himself doing this). We know we are in for a lot of trouble because he still has a difficult time sitting up by himself. He doesn't seem to be interested in anything that doesn't take him places.

He is loving eating baby food. He has tried peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. Not a big fan of the squash. He has made a great discovery. If he blows raspberries right after he gets a spoonful of baby food it will make a glorious mess. Sam, Mom and/or Dad, the high chair, and bib are covered in baby food by the end of the meal. We just adore that little stinker.
