The Park

Sunday afternoon was beautiful so we decided to go to a park nearby and see what Samuel thought of the baby swing. Of course he loved it! He is still a bit small so he just reclined and enjoyed the girl on the swing next to him.

Chasing after Beren

Here is Samuel chasing after Beren, our cat. It's amazing how quickly he can get from one side of the room to the other!

We happen to think he is quite CUTE! :)

Wild Man

Well, Samuel is VERY active. He is constantly on the move! He absolutely cannot stay still for 10 seconds. We are quickly learning to change a diaper when he is on all fours! This video will give you an idea of why he now sleeps 14 hrs/night!!

Rockies Game

Our treasurer at The Navigators had 2 extra Club tickets to the Colorado Rockie game Thursday afternoon. My friend, Jessi, was the first to respond that she was interested. However, she didn't pay attention to the date and time - that is was a 1pm game on Thursday. She still wanted to go so she convinced me to come (believe me -it didn't take much convincing)! We had a fun time! We rode the light rail in Denver and headed to our GREAT seats in the Wells Fargo Club. We had our own private concession area and really NICE bathrooms! Unfortunately the Rockies lost 6-2 to the Arizona Diamond Backs, but it was still entertaining. At least we got to see Matt Holliday hit a homerun!

All in all it was a nice break from work, especially after a very stressful and busy week!

Kickoff in 19 days!!

We are gearing up for OSU Football. Samuel has a Brutus the Buckeye which he loves! He smiles and laughs each time he sees him. We will have more videos & pictures of OSU gear and Samuel soon.

Beren is funny!

Samuel thinks Beren is so funny! He giggles everytime he sees him!

6 Month Check-Up

This post is about 2 wks overdue...

Samuel now weighs 17.5 oz & is 27.5 inches. He's in the 50th percentile for his weight and 80th percentile for height! He's right on target with everything. Not quite sure where he is getting the height from...(my assumption is the Tharp side of the family).

He is now sitting on his own as well! It is fun for him to sit in a highchair at restaurants (& at home). He seems quite determined to be on the move! He does a backwards crawl nowadays. We think it's just a matter of time before he is crawling and pulling himself up! Yikes, that means we need a gate, outlet covers, etc. Oh, and he talks a LOT! He's taking after his Uncle Brad when he's not even around him very often! Scary, eh? :)
