Haircut!

Samuel got his first official haircut about a week ago. Nana trimmed it when she was here in February, but he was getting a bit shaggy. His hair was down over his ears and curling up over his collar. We decided it was time. We took him to Hair Masters for a trim. Daddy got one too! Samuel sat on my lap and did great. He was interested in the lady's scissors and comb, but was content to hold a different comb while she cut. He even allowed the razor on the back or his neck. Now he is a clean cut, handsome little dude!

Sweet Dreams

The other day I heard a very strange noise coming across the monitor. I decided I better check it out. This is what I found. Samuel must have been having a great dream. He would smile then laugh every few moments. I decided to grab the camera and risk waking him up to get the picture. I got a great picture and he continued to sleep!

Gymboree

Each Wednesday Samuel gets to go to Gymboree class. He loves it. It is a chance for him to go and explore anything he can get into (lately that is quite a bit). He loves all the songs and most of the activities. He has developed a fear of the parachute activity at the end. Usually he gets to stand back with mom and watch or go under the parachute on mom's lap. It has been a great chance for us to get out and do something that Samuel loves.

Going through the tunnel is tons of fun!

Climbing up the incline! Great practice for the stairs!

Here is Samuel trying to escape off the parachute!

Aunt Angie

Aunt Angie was here to visit us for a few days. She came in on Saturday and left Wednesday. Samuel loved having her here. We spent some time at the markets and shopping. Angie also got to see Samuel in action at Gymboree. She was amazed at how big he is getting and at how fast he is. We had a great time with her here and miss her already!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Samuel wants to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day. He will be wearing his green today.

Sick Again

Samuel (along with Mom and Dad) have had a rough couple of days. Yesterday afternoon, Samuel threw up after eating and it has all been downhill from there. All milk products were replaced by Pedialite and sugar free jello. Throughout the day he continued to vomit and have diarrhea. He also spiked a fever around 2, but it quickly came down with a bit of Tylenol. About 8 last night he spiked another fever that went all the way up to 102.9. We got him in a cool bath and called the Childrens Hospital for advise. They were not nearly as concerned as we were. They recommended more Tylenol, push the fluids and try to get him to rest. Which for once in his life is easy to do since he wants to be in our arms the entire time. This morning he woke up without a fever, but did spike two throughout the day. The Tylenol seems to bring it right down thankfully. He was able to keep foods down today. He ate oatmeal, sweet potatoes, applesauce and baby yogurt (all recommended by the hospital to help with diarrhea). They lied. I think we went through five outfits of his today and two of mine. They believe it is a viral infection so we have to keep his fever down, keep him hydrated and let him sleep. Hopefully tomorrow he will be getting back to his old self. Please keep him and his health in your prayers!

March Madness

Samuel has been watching basketball on TV. He is getting some early pointers from the pros. I guess we will be sending him to basketball camp this summer!

Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa were here from Michigan for a few days. We had so much fun. This was the best day by far. The weather was beautiful. Samuel was his usual happy self with a bit of crankiness when he had been in the car too long. I am spending today updating the website with new pictures and videos so check it out later on.
