Toys are good food.

Ben, who is such a patient and attentive big brother, can often be found sitting and “chatting” with Sammers.
He even wanted to share his most prized toy, good ol’ elephant with Sammy (no prompting or encouragement from Mom, as I know it is his special lovey).
In baby news, Sammers in almost sitting now. He can sit for short spurts on his own, but as soon he moves suddenly, over he goes. He can sit quite well with a little support, as in the versatile boppy.
This outfit first made its appearance here on welikedogs.com back in January 2005. These are still some of my favorite baby pictures of Ben (about 3.5 months in these pictures). Too bad the hat went missing…
go fly a kite

I remember lots of springs heading to a nearby park or school with my dad and a cheap plastic kite. It seems like the outings usually involved frustration and usually a broken or lost kite. Nonetheless, my memories of those days in a field, just me and my dad, always make me smile.
When Ben and J came home from the hardware store with $1 worth of plastic and string, I grinned from ear to ear. Our outing involved some frustration, and Ben lost interest quickly. Will we do it again? Most definitely.
There isn’t a good picture of the kite Ben chose, which was called “wizard dragon.” He chose it because it was the most like a dinosaur. He’s big into dinosaurs.

This weekend, we started Sammy on solid food. (I know, already!) The sweet boy seemed a little confused by the high chair, but at soon as the spoon approached his eyes lit up. His response was “Where’ve you been all my life?” He opened his mouth and tried to grab the spoon to feed himself. He was smiling and happy and didn’t spit any out. The only waste came from his grabby hands. I actually felt a little bad that he was so ready, maybe I should have done this a little sooner.
there was a weekend

I know it is already Wednesday now, and this still needs to be short and sweet. Rod, Laurie, Grandpa Ned, and Grandma Toini visited over the weekend. We had a great time and good food. The kids loved spending time with their grandparents and great grandparents, and I think they liked the kids too. Great grandma had a knack for putting Sammers to sleep. Poor kiddo got vacs on Friday and had a cold (which he shared with me) all weekend, so he wasn’t feeling himself. I’ll post about his Friday 4 month appointment soon.
To get a full story on the weekend, see the pics on flickr. A picture is worth a thousand words, you know.
