Ummm...Mom I Think These Go On My Feet????

My Mom & Dad asked me last night what I was going to do when I can't take pictures of Samuel all the time.

After I faught back the tears because I had visions of going back to work and Samuel going to Koala Care in my heard, I thought I don't know!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think Koala Care will find it weird if I ask them to take pictures of Samuel hourly?

I confess, I do take a lot of pictures of my little Samuel. But I can't help it, I am addicted!!! I am a proud Mommy! Oh and Daddy is just as bad!

Too Much Fun!

Air & Space Museum

Today we visited the Tulsa Air and Space Museum with Grandma, Grandpa, Ricky, Justin & Aaron.

Samuel did not like the Planetarium show so we had to sit in the lobby and wait for the others. Good thing I had my camera! Here is a picture of him hanging out in the lobby. Where was this happy baby during the show??

Astronaut Sam

I Love My Aunt Terri & Cousin Justin

As you can tell, I took a lot of pictures this weekend. This was too cute not to share!

Milestones

We had a few milestones this week. Samuel has started napping in his crib! Although as you can see when I went to check on him he wasn't exactly napping. But he was happy. Just getting ready for the big transition of moving out of Mommy & Daddy's room. Which will probably be easier on Samuel then it will be on Mommy!

We also followed doctors orders and added more to the bottle. Samuel went 4 hours between feedings Monday & Tuesday night! He still wants to eat every 3 hours during the day, but heck that isn't when I need sleep!

I have officially decided that being a Mom is my calling in life and it wasn't kareoke like I thought. I love it so much. Samuel is such a good baby. We have so much fun spending time together during the day and each day it only gets better. I can't believe it is going so fast. I only have 6 weeks left before going back to work! OH NO!

Diana's Visit

Just a few pictures from Diana's visit. We had so much fun. Samuel loved her-I caught him smiling at her a few times. We were sad to take her to the airport today. Dave will miss the home cooked meals!

7 lbs 9 oz

Samuel went to the doctor today and weighed 7 lbs 9 oz-he has almost gained 2 pounds! The doctor said we now only have to go for his regular check ups! That was pretty exciting.

Samuel has been trying to eat every 2-3 hours, so the doctor suggested more in the bottle! We are putting almost 5 oz now. Samuel ate 4.5 oz today! Hopefully we will get to sleep for 3-4 hours now.

In other news. My friend Diana has been here visiting from California. I think I may have gained 2 pounds too (but it didn't take me 5 weeks like it did Samuel) because she has been cooking a lot of good Mexican food for us! It has been nice having her here. We went to the movies and I left Samuel at home with Dad. That was my first time leaving him! I think I did okay. But today we went pedicures and I did bring Samuel. Dave was not happy that his son went to the nail salon :o).

Hey Everyone I Am A Month Old!

Happy One Month Little Man-Mommy & Daddy Love YOU!

A different Approach To Tummy Time

And slightly more succesfull.

Caleb & Samuel

They were dancing to Jesse's Girl. It was one of their Mom's favorite tunes to dance to also. Caleb is mid verse..."And she's watching him with those eyes...". They had a lot of fun playing today.

Samuel Prefers "Back Time" Over "Tummy Time"

This Pic Was At 6:52 AM-Samuel Was Exactly 4 Weeks Old

I can't believe Samuel has been in this world for 4 weeks. He wasn't even due until next Tuesday! I am sure glad he is here (and healthy) I am not very patient so I can imagine I would be pretty restless at this point. I am sure I would of been to the hospital with false labor at least 5 times with in the next week.

Saturday is his 1 month birthday! Which reminds me-I need to confirm the clown and pony for his big party :o). We decided against the jupiter jump-figured we would wait for his 2 month party for that.

I Love My Daddy

Just Chillin'

This Is So Fun!

Oh the progress Samuel has made. He loves the music and lights on his activity mat. He had so much fun we didn't even care it was after bed time. Samuel thinks bedtime is 11:00 PM we think it is 9:00 PM.

Never Leave Home Without The Camera

While at our "first" dinner out, I had to change Samuel's diaper. Samuel is such a laid back baby and I felt this picture represented that. I put him down and he laid there like alright get it over with it.

Let me add that I thought Samuel had a "dirty" diaper which is why I was brave enough to use the diaper changing station (that I always wonder do people use those) and was surprised to find clean diaper. Hmmmm...must of let out a little toot. Takes after his Dad :o).

Bath Time!

Samuel lost his cord about 2 weeks ago, but tonight was the first night we were brave enough to give him a real bath. And he loved it! I guess it beats a sponge bath.










Today was a day of "firsts":

• We survived our first night alone...Dave was out of town for work. Samuel slept more than I did!
• Samuel went to Blue Cross Blue Shield to meet Mom's coworkers. And they had a baby shower to welcome Samuel.
• First time out to dinner with Mom and Dad
• First "real" bath

I don't know who is more tired Samuel or Mommy! Good thing Dad is getting up with him tonight :o).

Sweet Sleeping Baby!

Getting Ready For Football Season

You can't see what they are looking at-but Dave has Samuel watching the Tunnel Walk on the computer.

Dave can't wait for footbal season! I think game time will be the perfect time for Dad and Son to bond and mom to shop :o).
