Sam's Bris

On Monday, Sam's eighth day, we celebrated his bris with friends and family. Sam was a real trouper -- I think Papa Gary and Aunt Kimi were more traumatized than our little guy!

We really appreciate all the friends and family who came to celebrate with us, especially those that traveled from NY/NJ to be here. We look forward to many more celebrations!

Sam's First Superbowl

On Sunday, Sam watched his first Superbowl with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Papa, and Aunts Melissa and Kimi. He was rooting for Green Bay, but he fell asleep before finding out who won. Oh wait, that was me.



(He's wearing a football shirt and football socks, but it's kind of hard to see in this pic.)

Outfit

"There's no crying in baseball [clothing]."

Visitors

Sam met his Aunt Kimmy and Papa for the first time today!

More new pictures!

Sam is home and we just wanted to put up a few more pictures of him. He's got his eyes open a lot more now, and generally seems to be pretty happy!

Bris

Sam's bris will be on Monday, February 7th, at 3:30 pm, in the common room of our condo building at 150 Cambridge St, Cambridge MA. Everyone is welcome, and we'd appreciate your letting us know if you plan to come so we can get enough food (stephanie.singer or bsinger at gmail). Sam is looking forward to meeting all his fans!

Sam Comes Home

Although we were supposed to stay in the hospital until Wednesday morning, we decided to leave Tuesday night instead, after Tuesday's snowstorm was plowed and before Wednesday's started. After a nerve-wracking drive down a moderately plowed Memorial Drive, we arrived safe and sound at home.

We could fit six of him in here!
