Happy Half Birthday, Sammy!

Yesterday, Sammy officially turned 6-months-old! Wow, how time flies!!!! I have to admit that I did cry a few little tears during the evenings festivities. But, we had a wonderful evening celebrating Sammy!


First he had his very first solid food! Yummy baby oatmeal made with prune juice!
Then we sang Happy Half-Birthday to Sammy while he was just dying to reach that cake.
I did let him play with a small piece. Even though he got some on his mouth, and every other part of his body for that matter, I don't think he actually ate much of it.
And after bathing in Half-Birthday Cake, we ending the night's events with a bath!

A Morning at the Park and the Perfect Picture!

A few days ago, Michael and I took the boys to the park for a little while. Grayson had so much fun playing with Daddy! Grayson's Daddy is his HERO.Grayson is getting so big and brave. A few weeks ago he wouldn't even look at this ladder as something that could be fun, but this time, he climbed up the whole thing all by himself. Daddy was there in case he needed help, but he never did. It's funny, each milestone he makes is thrilling and sad at the same time! I got a few of him sitting still for all of three seconds when the basketball game behind him caught his attention!
And last but far from least. I have officially gotten the PERFECT PICTURE of Grayson. As soon as I snapped this one of him looking up at a plane, I knew it was something special. But when I saw it full-size, it brought tears to my eyes. I told Michael that I want to print it huge, like poster size, and hang it somewhere very eye catching in our house. That way when he's getting on my nerves, I can look at it and fall in love with my little boy all over again! :)
