Self portraits

The other day Samuel wanted to put on every winter hat he owns and I thought... what a great photo op. I tried to get a picture of the two of us to send to Ryan.....

Take 1- not even in the pic. But check out those baby blues.

Take 2- better... better...

Take 3- perfect. This picture shows Samuel's sweet personality and of course the fact he loves his Mama!

Painting

Samuel loves to "finger" paint, but I do not love the mess. The other day, I stuck Samuel in the bathtub and let him go at it. This way.... the mess was contained and the paint comes up easily with a little soap and water.

This is his "cheese" face.

We will be doing this again!

We can't wait for warm weather to make this a daily occurrence!

15 months

Samuel had his 15 month check-up this week (a little late though). It was a rough visit. From the moment we walked into the room he broke into tears and didn't stop until we left. He did give some good smiles to the doctor but once the exam started the tears started coming again.... poor kid!

He is so much fun these days. It seems he is learning a new word everyday. He loves his Mama right now and I am loving it! I know it will be short lived but I kinda love that he cries when I leave the room =)

His stats:

Weight- 25 lbs (55%)

Height- 32 1/4 inches (90%)

Deer??

Samuel's favorite word right now is deer. Every time Elliot barks, Samuel cries out... deer, deer, deer? One morning he would not stop saying deer so we placed him in front of the door to keep watch while he ate his breakfast. Too cute.
