I must still be hungry

Because I just ate one of my orange cheese crackers out of Emma's dog food bowl. At least I picked one of my crackers instead of a piece of dog food, right?

I am currently sleeping in my car seat in the garage. I couldn't fall asleep for the longest time last night and missed out on almost two good hours of sleep. I guess that is why. Aunt Holly said it probably took me a while to fall asleep because I was thinking about my baby day and needed extra time to settle down, do my crib gymnastics and all that. She's probably right. Aunt Holly is very smart.

Pix for your Sammy fix.

I love this toy! (Also, check out my new SHARK shoes! Thanks to those of you who voted, all three of you.)


I've also gotten pretty good about scooting myself around on this. Walk? Who needs to walk?!

Play day.

Today Mom and I went to Kroger with the Hudsons. I got to ride next to Joey in the big cart with a two-seater car attachment. We each got a chocolate chip muffin from the bakery so at first we were eating, talking with our mouths full and getting chocolate crumbs all over ourselves, but after we polished off the muffins Joey and I took turns smacking each other and squealing like pigs. It was awesome. I love being a boy.

I also had a mini-play date this morning with Rachel since our playgroup was cancelled. (Some of you might remember Rachel from my birthday party.) Rachel is very active and we get along great - today we both played in her big plastic house, climbing over each other and pushing each other out of the way to get to all the neat toys. We were very adorable playing together. I also ran a few laps around her house with her walker.

I had so much fun playing with my friends today that I didn't even notice it was a rainy and I couldn't play outside!

"Here we go 'round the big red barn...!"

Mom and Dad got me the coolest thing from the clearance rack at Target today: a Little People farm-themed ride-on. I *love* it. The handles have two buttons, which I can push and make play music. The buttons also make the farmer, cow and horse "...go 'round the Big Red Barn!" One of the buttons makes various animal sounds - when the cow "moos" I "mooooo" too! This is the *best* toy. I can push it around, I can push buttons, and it moos. :) <----big 'ol baby grin

KETCHUP!

Shoe poll

I am about to need a new pair of Robeez (because I'm growing and because all my walking and crawling is wearing out my Monkey pair) but I can't decide what design to get! I like the Shark, Sailboat and the Crab. What do y'all think? I think I'm leaning toward the Shark (because I'm tough!) but I just don't know for sure....

Check out: http://www.robeez.com/Department.aspx?DeptID=3&PriceCat=2&Lang=EN-US and tell me which one is your fav.

Thanks!

Green poop!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day I pooped green today. I am amazing.

Leya's visit

Yesterday my friend Leya came over to play while her parents went for a motorcycle ride through the Blueridge Mountains. It was a very sunny, pretty day and I am sure they had fun, but not as much fun as Leya and I had! (Well, except for Leya getting sick during lunch and feeling icky for the last hour she was here.) We chased each other around the play room. We went on a wagon ride. We snacked. We napped. I ate lunch, Leya got sick. Then, we watched Baby Davinci and played with my stacking cups. It was a good day!

Leya's mom brought over her wagon.

Ooo! A wagon! Let's go for a ride!


The babies are ready to go.


Emma's doing something silly.


Snack time!


Leya is really wishing I would stop grabbing her shoe. But it has really cool sparkly laces.

My thought for today:

Carrots are yucky.

I have to go now because Mom and I are going to Jordana's house to play.

Dining in my diaper.

Today I was so hungry for lunch that I wouldn't let Mom put on my pants before she fed me. Well, a boy's gotta eat.

Rocks are fun!

Today I discovered rocks while I was cruising around the backyard with my walker. They are so fun! You can pick them up, tap them against the house, try to feed them to the dog, bang them against each other, and even taste them, although I wouldn't advise it! Mom kept telling me "No" whenever I would even try to lick a rock.

I said rock a couple of times, but you know parents with their old ears, she thinks I said my work for duck - "dek" - for rock. Either way, duck and rock sound similar enough.

My mom took some cute pictures of me playing with them, which she will hopefully post later.

Paaaa-pa!

I should have written this yesterday but our internet was out (probably something I did). Yesterday while mom was changing my diaper I was thinking about my Papa Luis. I started saying, "Papa. Paaaa-pa."

Thinking I was talking to her, Mom said: "Papa's in Texas."

To which I said, "Paaaa-pa."

Then Mom asks, "Where is Papa, Sammy?"

Rather than repeating Texas, which I am absolutely positive I could say if I wanted to, I crawled over to my book shelf and reached up for the little round frames that have pictures of my family. At first I pointed to Grandma Dianne just to throw mom off, but then I pointed to Papa. And said, "Papa."

And that's it, folks. That's all a baby has to do to impress his mother.
