Samuel’s Half Birthday
Samuel turned 1/2 year (6 months) today, the same day as his Gigi’s Birthday (Happy Birthday Grandmommy!). He has grown so much this month and accomplished many things. This is a bit of a long post, but there were so many fun memories, photos, and videos that I just had to share!
He is eating “real” food every night before he goes to bed now, and he LOVES Bananas. Tonight he ate an entire banana (pureed) and a bit of rice cereal. Of course he is really good at putting just about everything in his mouth.
He re-learned how to roll from his stomach to his back and from then on has become a rolling machine. Most of the time he just does rolling laps around his playmat, but one day I found him in the middle of the room and then watched as he rolled all the way across the room in a matter of minutes.
When Joe got home he put together his “baby prison”(playpen) and decided to try it out.
This video is 10 minutes of him playing speed up to be only 1 minute. This was him playing just after he turned 5 months, so he is actually much more active than this now, but it’s a fun video.
He’s becoming stronger and stronger every day now and managed somehow to get his tree and giraffe on the playmat stuck together.
Since he’s so strong now he’s helping with the laundry.
He’s also learning to stop the advances of girls. His friend Emily was innocently trying to kiss him/bite his face.
Samuel however, turned away at the last minute. I’m so proud of him!
We also had a fun visit with my friends Brenda & Andrea. They had a really great time with Samuel as you can see in the photos:

They also taught him all kinds of things that are far too early for him:
How to use an iPhone
How to drink Soda, although he needs a bit more practice. After this picture was taken he dumped the entire glass on Joe.
How to play Settlers of Cattan
This was such a big month for Samuel and we are so excited to see what this next month has in store. As always there are a bunch more photos in the new albums below:
He is getting so big and so cute! Hopefully we can all see each other this summer with my new little one!
That would be so much fun, hope to see you four soon!
Duke and I loved the video. Fun idea. We’d like to see another one after Samuel’s crawling… hint… hint.
Glad you both liked it. I’ll make sure to do one when he’s crawling in a year
