New Blog - This Guy is Full

After 7 years of blogging (at brookeb and bandbpetermann), we have met the photo quota and can add no more.  :(

So, we've started a new blog.

9 months

Holy cow!  Somehow, Sam is 9 months old.

Sam:

• took his first trip to Phoenix, this month and (once again) did awesome on the plane rides.  He is quite the little traveler.
• is a big fan of our new (to us) piano.  He likes sitting by Daddy while Daddy plays and chiming in every now and then with a few notes of his own.
• is a big fan of feeding himself and is getting better at it all the time. 
• really likes playing in/splashing water.  He likes to play in the tub and we sometimes fill up the sink after we wash his hands and let him splash away.  It makes a big mess, but it is so fun to see him smile and laugh.
• rolls all around and spins in circles on his tummy, but hasn't started crawling.  
• had one day (a few weeks ago) where he didn't spit up a single time.  Mama and Daddy are anxious for more days like this! 
• doesn't like anyone to take his toys away from him.
• likes to shake his head "no" - although, I don't really think that he knows what it means.
• likes grabbing Mama's glasses and pulling her hair.  
• has a new favorite book - a nonfiction book about dogs borrowed from his cousin, Ava.
• likes to play peek-a-boo.
• is getting more hair and it is finally starting to thicken up a bit in the back.
• likes his Daddy to swing him back and forth through the air.
• rolls all around when we try to change his diaper or clothes. 
• is loved!

Good Stuff

My favorite bits of vacation (besides just hanging out with a few of my favorite people) were sitting on mom's back patio and eating at Joe's Farm Grill.

Vacation Time

Sam and I went on a quick vacation to Phoenix, last week.  Auntie Pril was there, too!  We had a wonderful time hanging out with Mom, Dave and Pril.
