Samue's first steps assisted

It's been a little more challenging watching Samuel these days because he likes to go all over the house. He likes to crawl over to bathtubs and pull himself up, and heads straight to Joshua's room when his brother is at school, so he can play with all the toys.

Crawling and self feeding

Samuel crawled for the first time on June 18. He also started eating little Gerber cheerios.

This was day #5 of crawling. He's made a lot of progress already.

Samuel's got rhythm

My crewcut

Fans of Samuel's blog may be disappointed that I took Samuel for his first official haircut. He was looking so much like a little girl with a bouffant, and with the summer here--I thought a shorter haircut would keep him cooler and help him look more boyish.

Before I knew it, the deed was done and all of Samuel's beautiful locks were chopped off. I felt immediate regret, and I already miss my little baby with his baby hair. He's got a "big boy haircut" as his barber would say. Well, it'll grow back.

Do I look like my dad?

We dug out these old baby photos of me to make side by side comparisions with Samuel. What do you think?

Learning to Crawl

Samuel just started to make some crawling steps yesterday. Here he is practicing some more.
