Great Grandma Aho's visit

Great Grandma Aho was here to visit and Grandpa Roger got some secret footage of the song she used to sing to Scottie when he was little. We also got a shot of the Grandparents Aho playing a little tug-of-war over who got to hold the little man! So hard to be SO loved!

Smiley Boy!

Pictures!

Well we finally did it! The batteries in the camera finally needed to be replaced! Just means we're taking enough pictures, right? Day care is finally ironed out and he'll start on the fifth of September when Mommy goes back to work- that feels good to have that taken care of! Doesn't feel good to have to be leaving him, but we don't want him to entirely be a Momma's boy, do we? :)

One month old video (finally figured it out...)

Daddy's feeding

Sam's First Road trip

Well we packed up the family (except for Inga the cat...) and headed to Amherst on Thursday evening. Sam and Hunter both travelled SO well! We made one stop each direction of the three hour trip and they both slept most of the way despite Mama's fears. Daddy dropped of Mom and Sam and headed over to Algoma (Lake Michigan) with Hunter. Sam did very well and Grandma and Grandpa Bacon's and got to meet lots of family! Mama didn't remember to take pictures of all of them, but here are some. Daddy sounds like Hunter had just as much fun in Algoma- he went swimming and onto the boat for the first time and seemed to enjoy it. They're both quite tired today, so we're having a quiet Monday. Oh- Sam did have his first trip to the barn with Mama in the front pack- will have pictures next time...Also met Great Grandpa Bacon and Great Uncles Roger and John- will get pictures from Grandma- but forgot to get pictures with Great Aunt Linda and "Auntie" Steph...sorry!!! Next time!

A First...

Sam had his first bottle feeding from dad- and they both did so well! Sam took the bottle like a champ- which is good because I'll be going back to work September 5th, so he'll have to get used to it! And Dad was awfully excited to be able to feed him! Seems like he gets bigger every day! Attached are some pictures of visitors; Sally's social work friends Kaira and Liz, and a visit from Scott's Aunt Ruth.

One month old today!

Big day for Sam! He's one month old- and had his first trip to church. He had a cute little outfit on for church, and I would have taken a picture...but he found a way to pee through the side of the diaper right onto mommy's leg a few minutes into the service... :) We weighed our little guy and according to daddy's fish scale he weighs 9.7 pounds! And according to my measurements with Great Grandma Bacon's measuring tape he's 20 1/2 inches long, so it's not our imagination, he IS getting bigger!

Uncle Eric's visit

Uncle Eric came to visit Sam along with Grandma Diane and Grandpa Roger- they also brought us some different living room furniture- quite comfy! I swear Sam is getting bigger by the minute- he's finally out of newborn diapers (mostly because we had some size one's and didn't want to buy any more newborn...) We're getting excited for our first road trip with Sam and Hunter- we're heading East next weekend (Sally and Sam will stay at Sally's folks and Hunter and Scott will head over to Algoma). Wish us luck!
