Movie Monday- New Trick

Although his birthday isn't for another 2 weeks he is full blown in the
terrible 2's mode.

Movie Monday

Ben started saying the word "big" like this back in July. I have no idea where he got it from. He doesn't do it as much now so I wanted to make sure I got it on video before he completely stopped saying it like this all together. I love this boy, he cracks me up. I'll have to get one of his newest tricks taped for all of your viewing pleasure next week. Have fun guessing what it is :o)

Wordless Wednesday

Sorry it's Thursday. The weeks go by so fast!!!!

I've Been Busy

I got a little behind in my blogging so I am trying to play catch up tonight. I still have a few more posts but they will have to wait for some other moment of free time.

My free time seems to be few and far between these days. What little I have has been taken up by my crocheting fetish. My friend is having a craft fair where all the proceeds are going to a local women's shelter. I decided to donate baby hats. I have had so much fun learning new styles of hats and flowers. Most of the hats I made up but the flowers I have learned to do from You Tube videos.

After the fair I am going to start selling them online. I'll let you know when my Etsy shop is open.

Here are some of my latest hats along with some pictures from Sam's latest photo shoot. Someday he is going to hate me for these pictures but I needed a model for them.

2 Months Old

Wow time goes fast when you have 2 kids.

Sam is already 2 months old.

Things Sam loves
being held
his bath
smiling
his pacifier
sitting in his Boppy
Mom dressing him up in her new hats (okay so he really doesn't like this one but I do)Ben likes to put Sam's pacifier back in when it falls out. I'm hoping he learns how to do it softly one of these days. Sam doesn't seem to mind too much. He only cried about 2 seconds when Ben dropped a wagon on his head. He is going to be one tough cookie.
At his 6 week Dr. apt. he only weighed 9 lbs 2 oz; that puts him in the 10% bracket. What a difference from Ben who was in the 90% bracket. His Dr. isn't worried at all about him. He is growing, he just started out a little smaller. I'm pretty sure he will catch up to most kids. He is already over 11 lbs just 2 weeks later. It's just hard not to worry when you are a mom.

More Family

After Tom's Parents left my younger brother Randy came to visit. We were sad he couldn't get off work to make it for the blessing. But on the plus side we were able to have more one-on-one time with him this way. For a whole week after Randy left Ben thanked Heavenly Father in his prayers for Uncle Randy. I am so glade he loves his uncle so much.

Visit From Grandma & Grandpa

As I said before Tom's parents were able to come for a week for Sam's blessing. We had such a great time with them. Unfortunately the week they were here was the hottest week we have had all year. It made it really hard to go out and do things. I'm sure they didn't mind hanging around the house too much.

They got to watch the "Benjamin Show" all day. And enjoyed some quality "Sammy Cuddle Time"

We did manage a trip to Underwood Family Farm.We spent each evening baking!

Thanks for coming Mom and Dad! We love having you here with us.

Blessing Day

Sam was blessed a few weeks ago Sept. 26thWe had a lot of family come for it. Tom's parents even came from Seattle!!!! Sam is so lucky to have so many people that love him.
