Can I get an AMEN!?

He started out pretty clean.

All About Sam

This is my most favorite project Sam has ever done at school.  He was so proud and told me everything he'd put on his list.  I love my big boy!

Kite flying

We looked out the window and saw that it was
a windy day so....


We skipped church and went to the Riverwalk to fly a kite. Sam loved doing it "all by himself" (just like Curious George) and Brice loved watching.

Cousins

Here's my neice, Emily (15) and my nephew Andrew (12.5) with my boys. They're Kate's kids. Sam LOVES playing with Andrew! Actually, both Emily & Andrew love their little cousins too and are always so sweet and helpful.

Emily & Andrew have been spending their Spring Break next door with great aunt & uncle, Weeda & Ben. Everyday when we get home from work/school...here they come. It's been great!! Sam's been playing outside with them until dark - or until I holler that supper's ready.

Nine months old!

At nine months old Brice weighs 22 pounds and is 27.5 inches long. He was so tuckered out that he fell asleep OVER the decorative neck-roll pillow in his bed. Bless his heart!


And, no, he's not drinking from a cup - yet! Although he tries to in the bathtub. This cup holds little "changing table things" like ointment, thermometer, baby nail clippers, etc.... Every time he sits up there he has to dump out the cup and play. He grabs for it SO fast there's no way I can stop him! He's a mess!!!




















Sam LOVES his little brother!

BB tug-o-war

As many of you know, my boys love their BBs.  In fact, Brice's BB was originally Sam's (it was the "back up" that I made in case something happened to the original) but a few days/weeks after Brice was born Sam climbed up the crib rail and dropped #2 into the crib and said Brice could have it.  So sweet...and he's never looked back.  I was so impressed with my (then) two & a half year old's generosity.  Above, Sam had just woken up and he was not amused, as you can see, by Brice's efforts to play tug-o-war with his BB.

Brice is very happy to have his own BB.  If he could say "mine", I know he would.  In due time...

Brice these days...

Tuesday was a big day for the Brice-man.  I gave him his first opportunity to get into the Tupperware drawer.  I had to do something to keep him happily occupied while I did my morning chores.  Then, he had his first "real meal" for supper.  Boy did he LOVE it - as you can see!!!  Brice ate three Vienna sausages, two heaping tablespoons of green peas and half a banana - not to mention several Puffs.  He's a "puff head"!  Anyway, he loved eating like a big boy; just shoveling it in as fast as he could.
