Attack of the Sam

Tooth Tired

Samuel got his first tooth! It is the bottom front left one. It is lonely but sharp! We are so proud of all the hard work Sam has done, toiling alone, smiling sweetly while stoicly enduring the anguish of growing his first tooth. To honor this acheivment, we are introducing him to the disgusting world of babyfoods. Yesterday he encountered "peaches"; alas, the flavor proved too much for him. He retreated to the comfort of rice cereal. As you can see, the labor of eating can really take its toll on a person.

Sam's Sweetnesses

Sam's little body is getting strong, and his will is always just a bit stronger than his body. He is a good example to me in that way.
These are Sam's current sweetnesses:
-fell asleep in his bouncer
-catapulted his bowl of rice cereal towards himself, covering his tray, his clothes, his seat, and his hands; hence, success! He sucked his fingers happily.
-got to suck on a straw of lemonade at the fair. Now that is TRUE JOY.
-Pa (Grandpa Belnap) let him suck on a piece of watermelon.
How can life be any happier?
