4 months!

 

The past month has flown by! Sam is doing new things every day to make us smile. Today at his 4 month check up he weighed in at 14.6 lbs. - (26th %) and measured 25 inches (60th %) - long and lean like his daddy! We are continually praising the God of mercy for this precious gift.

Sam is regularly rolling over now.
Especially if playing in the grass is the reward!

One afternoon Sam and I hung out in the church
nursery while we waited for Chris to finish working.
He loved all the new toys, especially the ones
with sound! He's also pretty good at standing if
he has something to hold onto.
(I was, of course, super close by.)

Sam likes reaching for, holding,
and tasting his toys.
It's amazing how those tiny milestones
bring me so much joy!

He's not asleep here; he's just turned his tummy time into
crawl-over-the-Boppy time. He squirms and wiggles his
way over; it cracks me up

On days we are home we probably swing at least
three times a day. He loves it!

At the cathedral, Sam sleepin' away.

In June Beth came to visit us. We had fun showing her the Cathedral in St. Paul, Lake Nokomis, and downtown Minneapolis. Sam loved playing with Beth!

Lake Nokomis was too cold for a baby
- or anybody! - to swim.

Peek-a-boo!

 With Chris' schedule calming down a bit, we are enjoying these warm Minnesota summer days!

Sam started riding up front in the jogging stroller!
Ready for a run!

I love these feet.
