A Full Weekend!

Sam right after a bath. He is liking bath time more and more these days.

Sam had a very full weekend. We traveled to Paducah, KY for a family reunion/baby shower. It was so nice to see family members we haven't seen in a while. Aunt Bobbie opened her pool up and the kids had a blast. Sam received some great gifts....lots of clothes....exactly what he needs right now. Sam slept pretty much the whole time. Little Ava Jane took a dip in the pool for the first time. So cute! After saying good-bye to everyone, we headed to Eagleville, TN for Blain's baptism. We had to pull over about 5 miles from Amber's house to feed and burp Sam. He was not enjoying his car seat at this point in the day. Poor little guy, he had been in it for a while. It was wonderful to finally meet Blain Thomas. Sam and Blain looked so cute together.....they both are spitting images of their daddy. Early Sunday morning, Sam gave Daddy his gift and cards. Then Amber made pancakes...yummy! It was a rush getting ready for church that morning. Both boys needed to eat and the parents weren't even ready. We pulled up to church right on time! The ceremony was beautiful. Little Blain filled his diaper twice during his baptism. So funny! When we finally made it home that evening, Sam got a bath and we relaxed the rest of the evening. Sam is a little over 14 pounds now! Growing steadily. We had him on his tummy last night practicing all his new skills. He is so close to sitting up. He can lift his head and with help from Mommy, he can hold his chest up. For most of the day, he sleeps. He has an extended amount of awake time early in the morning and later in the evening...so no one believes us when we say he can do anything but sleep. I promise guys...I have the proof on video. :) We finally solved Sam's fussy period at night. We have started giving him gripe water. He has not had a screaming night fit at all this week. Boy are we happy about that. Oh, and after trying lots of different formulas, we are on regular Similac now. Sam is really enjoying that and is tolerating it without much spit up at all. His personality is emerging more and more each day. We are about to graduate to size 2 diapers and he is already busting out of his 3 month old clothing. Sweet sweet Samuel!

Baptism Day for Blain....Sam's best friend. :)

Happy Father's Day Daddy!
