Sam Rolled Over!

Sam rolled over from his back to his belly for the first (and second) time last night. He's discovered a new mode of locomotion: rolling over and over and over until he gets the toy he wants!

Food

The list of foods our little shrimpy boy (at 13 lbs 2 oz, he's in the 0.73rd percentile for weight!) has tried now includes:
- apples
- avocado
- bananas
- carrots
- cucumber
- lettuce
- mashed potatoes
- oatmeal
- pears
- peas
- peppers
- prunes
- rice cereal
- spinach
- squash
- string beans
- sweet potato
- vanilla yogurt

with a new food introduced every few days. On deck: mango, Greek yogurt, and goat cheese.

Yogurt

As part of our quest to fatten Sam up, we got some yogurt at the grocery store today.  Although Sam usually shies away from cold foods, he loved the yogurt, quickly gobbling up more than half a full-sized serving.



Sam loved the yogurt so much, once it was gone he licked it off his bib.

New Toys

Roll the Ball

From the minute Sam was born -- no, from the minute we found out he was a boy -- Brian has been looking forward to playing ball with Sam. He's not 100% there yet, but we can certainly try!
