Our Little Peanut is growing up

We started Sam on rice and oatmeal cereal last week. He was waking up at 4:30 a.m. to eat and mommy was not too excited about that, so we decided to start cereal. He really likes it! We are eating 4 tablespoons twice a day and eating every bite. Today he decided to get his hands all in it and wipe them on his face. He is also trying to grab the spoon.

On Thursday, Sam rolled from his back to his stomach. It took him a little while, but he did it. Now I put him down and he rolls over in about 10 seconds. He only rolls over his left side and can't get back over so it is a fun new game to roll over and then whine until mommy rolls him back over.

Adam and I were looking at pictures of Sam when he was about a month old and I can't believe how much he has changed in just that short a time. We realized that we need to enjoy everyday that we have with him!

Colorado

We were lucky enough to get to go to Colorado over the 4th of July. My whole family (Mom and Dad, Andy, Seth, Tarah, Jericho, Baby girl G, and Tori) got to come. We stayed at my Uncle Tim and Aunt Bonnie's house up in the mountains of Denver. It was so great to see my family. It was
especially nice to introduce Sam to his GG (great-grandma).

Jericho and Sam just hanging out

We went to The Buterfly Pavaline and Sam loved looking at the butterflies and flowers. Jericho and Sam had fun in the hunny comb jungle gym. Aren't they adorable!

GG loved having all three of her great-grandkids around for the week. The big boy is my cousin Candi's little guy Maddox. Jericho and Maddox were great play mates. They had a dump truck that they were pushing each other around in, it was so cute.

Being with my whole family all week made me really wish that we lived closer. It is so hard being so far away from each other, especially as our family grows. Tarah found out they are having another girl! I am so excited for Jericho to have a sister. I miss mine more that I realized until I got to see them every day.

GG posed for us. Isn't it GREAT!
