Sam is now 8 1/2 months old, he has 4 teeth and can crawl like a champ. He is pulling himself up on anything he thinks can support his body weight and then letting go!

I promise I won't eat the camera, just pass it over here.

He loves playing in his crib sans clothes - possibly his favorite time of day is the half hour before bath time when we let him play in bed with no diaper on.

And, loves his big brother Milo

Update

Sam is almost 3 months old now. He is quite a happy kid. He smiles a lot and giggles when he sees us. He is attempting to roll over but has yet to make the turn. He likes watching Milo play with his doggie friends and has already pulled a clump of hair out of Goose. He gets a huge kick out of people sticking their tongues out at him.

We are thinking about hooking a plow up to Milo to get rid of some of this snow.

Sam in the morning. He takes a while to wake up but is pretty alert once he gets going. Maybe he needs a shot of coffee...
