After 3 months....

We finally have teeth...or at least the buds. I'm so thankful I can finally see the two bottom teeth trying to poke through his gums. Since the beginning of April he has been actively gnawing on his hands and anything else he can find accompanied by fussiness and drooling. I know we have many more to go, but it's nice to see the first few showing their pearly heads.

We went hiking last weekend with some friends near the camp where we used to work. See who took a nap when we stopped for lunch. It was a bit rainy but he didn't seem to mind, neither did the other little ones. We are going to camp for the next 2 months or so, coming home for a week here and there.

Swinging, Eating and Talking...

He's a pretty good eater, preferring sweet potatoes and applesauce over peas :)

Some friends gave us this backpack carrier and he seems to really like it, up where he can see everything. He hangs clothes on the line with me and sometimes I "wear" him when I'm cooking.

I found a red swing at a yard sale and it's one of his new favorite activities.

Too cute, this is going to be one of my favorites I think.

look at those chicken legs! Happy of course in his swing.

Snuggly bug.

If he were a little older, he would have realized what fun potential a box of peanuts can hold.

Dryer clothes don't compare to the smell of line fresh clothes.

James posted the bed he made but didn't show off his incredible table and chairs, so here they are.

Precious sleep

I woke up this morning realizing I had slept all night....and that means so did the little one! yeah! I'm pretty excited about this weeks changes. Did I mention he also peed in the toilet? We're going to try this thing called infant potty learning, we'll see how it goes :)

Our first little road trip

J found a shaper on Craig's list in Canyon City, so we all went along and enjoyed the day. We stopped at the park/riverwalk in Salida and took some pictures.

His first real swing ride...thanks Pop!

Hanging in the back seat while Pop gets the shaper.

We were both working in the garage one day so we bundled him up and he sat and watched until we had to use the saw...too loud for little ears

I think he's just the cutest.

I don't know what J is doing here, but it's a good picture of S.

J is giving the cheesy beaver smile, but otherwise it's a good fam shot.

Praise the Lord

We finally heard back from the insurance commissioner and then the insurance company that they will cover my surgery and hospital stay, we're still waiting to hear about Samuel's NICU stay but they don't have any reason to deny it. Thank you Lord! what a relief. It's been awhile since I've updated the blog, so here's some new photos.

Some face shots

He's been smiling so much more lately.

His little hair gets a little crazy after a bath.
