6 weeks old!


Sam went had his one month check up about 2 weeks ago and the Dr. told us he has grown! He's has gone from about 18 in. (we are not so sure that was accurate) to 20 1/2 inches! He also went from 5 lbs. 13 oz. that he weighed at one week to 7 lbs. 5 oz. We hope this has increased since then, and I will hopefully update on time next time. :-)

One of Sam's newest accompliments is smiling! Dad got the first gummy grins, but since then he has started smiling a lot! He has to be the cutest thing when he's not smiling, but when he does, it just puts him over the top!!!

This is the gummy smiles dad got for the first few days. He gets pretty excited and his daddy knows how to keep it going till it gets this big. It's pretty darn cute.

Sam was waking up from a nap in his swing and he was in a good mood. He looks like he was having fun doesn't he? :-)

Grandma Roberts bought him this cute little church outfit which we thought he might be too big for, but it fits great! We got this picture right before he made a mess of his pants and the outfit. Hence the surprised look on his face. You can also tell how much he has grown in the picture. He used to barely fit into the bouncer, now he fits quite nicely.


We thought this would be a good picture because this is a look we get quite frequently. We could have a whole album of this wide eyed look. He's always looking around so we know he's going to be smart. (I'm not bias at all!)

As you can see Sam is holding his head up better now and really enjoys this quality time with his dad.

We've tried to give Sam lots of tummy time, but usually he just likes to try to eat the blanket. Or like here, he finds a nice comfy spot and just chills. He's such a good baby, and most of the time is very content and happy. As long as he is fed when he's hungry and gets to sleep when he's tired, he's great!

Sam likes to take baths. He doesn't like getting undressed before, and getting dressed again after, but he like to sit in his little tub. He also likes to suck the water off his hands. He makes a cute little duck.

We took Sam for a walk a few weeks back in his fancy stroller, but had to turn around and get his carseat stroller because he was falling out of this one. We thought it was pretty funny. You can see how skinny his legs are here. He's definitely grown!!!!

I love the smiles and the wide eye look. That reminds me so much of Benson when he was that age, and I think he's pretty smart! We can't wait to see you this weekend and hold baby Sam!
