Marvelous Mimzy Moments

Our babysitter got married and was going to be out of town. My mom didn't even hesitate when we asked her to come and help out for 2 weeks. Sam calls her "mama". He couldn't get enough of her chasing him and then hiding behind the counter or in the bathroom. She has so much more energy than I have. We had so much fun together. We spent a day at a pumpkin farm with Rivers and Melanie.

We had a perfect trip to the zoo. Sam was squealing about how

close he could get to all of the animals !

We skyped with Mom after she left. She and Sam had all of the same inside jokes and he still loved showing off for her and PopPop. Eventhough my Mom and Dad live so far away, they have basically been able to see him every 6 weeks or so of his life. He knows them and loves them so. He is so lucky.

I am finally blogging about the wonderful week with my mom, dad and Brady. This was the first time Sam got to meet Brady. Brady was so cute with him. Brady has spent the last year and 1/2 in Central and South America.





(Note the cute alpaca wool sweater above and the jammin' pants below… both gifts from Mimzy and Pop Pop during their visit with Brady to Bolivia and Peru)


We also got to celebrate Brady's birthday while they were here. I asked Brady what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said, "Spend it with Sam." Sam is one lucky little boy.

The Happenings of Sam

Just a few updates and cute pictures and videos of our sweet boy.

He just started doing the army crawl. I love how he is so intent and his little legs kick, kick, kick.



Here he is making a funny "3 Stooges" face. He hasn't really done it since but he was doing it all the time that day.



He had bronchiolitis for several weeks so we gave him a nebulizer a few times a day. He was such a good sport.


My mom came to visit for 2 weeks while I started my part-time job and Ryan was away (for one week) at a conference (more on that soon). Mimzy taught him how to wave and clap. She tried to teach him how to crawl but mostly Sam just got a kick out of watching her crawl all around the room. While she was here we had a lot of fun shopping, making curtains for Sam's room, and visiting the sites. We saw the Air Force Academy Cathedral.


It was very unique. It looked like a plane and even the cross was made out of propellers.



We also went to Garden of the Gods.


We ended up taking more pictures of Sam than the red rock.
