Spider Sam

Happy Halloween! Have a frighteningly good day!

Bear Cub on the Prowl

A little bear cub was spotted enjoying a perfect fall day over the weekend. He encouraged a brown cow to head indoors for a snooze, urged a goose to catch up to the rest of his clan and told the birds to head south for the winter. And finally, at the end of the day, he posed with a fan for the paparazzi (that's right. A random asked to snap a photo with our Sam man).

Eleven Months

On Wednesday Sam was 11 months old. I tried to take his monthly photo in the Sam chair, but given his age, it was impossible to get him to sit still and look at the camera. Yes, Sam is busy these days. He hasn't started walking, but he's very adept at crawling and climbing. He can scale almost anything, especially things that are technically off-limits like the fireplace, the stereo equipment and the toilet. He has also perfected waving, pointing and is working on his first word: ball. He loves his books and never tires of peek-a-boo. He discovered that his little fingers fit perfectly inside Mom and Dad's mouths, ears and noses, and while it feels like we're being mauled, Sam finds it fascinating. Maybe he's on his way to being an ENT specialist. If so, he really needs to work on the art of a gentle touch.

Lights, Camera, Action

We bought a Flip video camera last week and I'm in love. It's super easy to use and the editing process is painless. With a few clicks you can have a pretty decent little "movie."



Enjoy! And after this post I promise to start mining for content somewhere other than the bathroom.

Wee!!!!

Talk about aging! Take a look at what a summer can do for a kid Sam's age!

Progress

I've been a little lax on the blog entries lately. Sorry. It's been a busy stretch for Steve and I on the work front and I just did a five-day stint in Miami at BKC. It's amazing what can happen in a week. Cousin Meghan got her big girl bed and Cousin Claire has taken her first official steps! Sam learned to drink from a regular cup and continues to perfect the fine art of climbing. These are the pics that kept me going while I was away.

Enjoy the weekend.
