Chasing daddy

sam chasing jon in his man clogs.

maggie is staying over tonight because she has to get up really early for the boulder peak triathlon. in preparation for her big race she vegged out, chewed on her finger to alleviate her teething pains, and watched the CAT machines dvd with sam.

i love this picture.

when sam feeds himself it gets a bit messy.

sam loves hanging out underneath the table.

first steps

sam's first steps happened about five minutes prior to this. this video is when he actually went far (for a baby). i love how he is making the motor sound as he walks. also, if you listen closely at the end, it is as if he says, "darn", since the ball rolled away too far.

pictures from the cabin

enjoying the morning.


the beautiful sunset as seen from the deck.


we made sam a spa with hot water from the tap so he could get a bath. he loved it. we barricaded him in with the railing and the $2 garage sale lounge chair.


on the way out of town (cabin dirt road).

Sam got a new specialized helmet today at boulder cycle sport! He plans on keeping it on all day, even in the swimming pool.

sam played with his new $10 garage sale water table and sandbox today. picture of him slowly filling up the table.


then he got a little crazy slapping the water as hard as he could.


close up of the effort he put into creating a large splash.

sam making daddy's 1st father's day card. he was more interested in eating the marker instead of drawing hearts with mommy.

Lunch

Sitting at a rest stop off of i 70 eating some grub and watching trucks.

mowing the lawn with daddy.


just like daddy (king of the green grass on the block) he takes his job very seriously.

sam's rendition of "so big" involves squishing his head with his arms. good new is he will be really good at diving off the side of the pool when the time comes.

someone hit the garage sales around the neighborhood HARD this morning.

first time up front in the grocery cart, sam thinks it's so much more fun!

pictures from beaver creek

after 80 miles on the bike saturday sam gave mommy and daddy a massage. it's a zen therapy type of massage where he bangs on your back as hard as he can and laughs the whole time. then he pulls on your hair and starts playing with your nose. it's all the rage on the west coast, and it's catching on fast in colorado.

today my mom watched sam for a whopping 9 hours while jon and i drove to the boonies to race our bikes. sam had a great time with his mimi.


mimi and sam right before he dropped the numero deuce in the tub.

alex and sam have a playdate

the two brainiacs sit down to put together a puzzle of the united states.


all they ended up doing was eating the states. here sam is eating california while alex is about to put the texas panhandle in her mouth.


alex was more interested in sam's CAT machines and not him.


look how excited alex is in the background. her parents need to get that girl a CAT machine. (maybe the movie too)

Out for a stroll

you know that old saying, "a mother's work is never done"? well guess what... it is true. even when i'm about to walk out the door to do a ride, hence the helmet, there's always a baby to be fed, a toy to put away, a fall to brush off, and poopie diapers to be changed.

thanks to my mom (and dad too).

daddy and sam enjoy their favorite video, i love cat machines. apparently this video is a collectors item because it is quite pricey on amazon. sam got his from fun uncle todd.

one of sam's girlfriends, elie (real name elizabeth and named after me), is in transition and getting ready for the bike portion of the danskin.

Sam's "mad i am wearing this stupid monkey jacket" face.

skyping with the madre and padre in paris.

i took sam outside today to "air out" sans diaper. right when i sat down in the rocking chair to watch the birds he let loose. perfect.

sam loves his walker that we got from babyplays.com i honestly think he will be walking in about a month, and i am totally not ready for that.


he like to ram his walker into walls and chairs. just like an ornery old man in a nursing home.

i'll post a video soon.
