Sam's big blowout

Parents always talk proudly about their children's capacity to poop or pee in a variety of different comical scenarios. Most of them, however, lack photographic proof. Please enjoy the reenactment of Sam's latest big blowout. Megan and Andrew are the ones holding Sam and laughing uproariously as Sam toots and fills his diaper beyond capacity. Look closely and you can see the proof. If you don't see it, click on the youtube link in the video screen and go to full screen by hitting the button on the bottom right of the video controls .

Sam laughed today!

This morning I heard the best sound ever to reach my ears! Sam was laying in his crib watching his Flutterflies mobile (thanks Mom!) while I was folding laundry and ....

He laughed!

I jumped and laughed so loud that Sam startled a little. My friend Ryan said it best, "I've never been more proud of someone who can do so little."

As soon as we can capture it on video, you know we'll post it.

a curl in the middle of his forehead

Pa (my grandpa) used to tell me this little rhyme:

There was a little girl
who had a little curl,
right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good
she was very, very good;
but when she was bad she was - and I'd interrupt and say "Pa, don't say that word."

(The word was horrid.)

Well if you have a look at the pictures Drew posted March 24, I think you'll see that Sam has his own little curl right in the middle of his forehead. The rhyme held true for me. I wonder if Sam will either be very, very good or ... well, you know.
