Sam, almost rolling over

Well, Sam has been keeping us on our toes lately... running for the camera every time he almost rolls over. Here is a sample. I don't know if he is just playing with us or if he just hasn't quite figured out what to do with his arm to get all the way over yet.

Funny... but you might have had to be there.

My wife, mother and I had a good laugh with Sam tonight. Here is the video. Too funny, but really not sure why it is so funny. He was doing this for the whole time we had him in the new booster seat, about 15 minutes or so. He must have some energizer bunny genes in him... he keeps on going.

Update...

Well, since my last post, I guess I have been a bit busy with projects getting ready for my first child, who came on Dec 1, 2008. I got the nursery done, with paint, curtain rod, shelving, and a stand for the changing table to accommodate my bad back; raises it 3 inches so I don't have to stoop to change diapers.

There have been many, many diapers, spit-ups, play times, books, snuggles, and buzzing ear drums since Dec 1, and it has all been worth it. You could say I am quite the proud Dad. I am still learning to gracefully take a seat full of after-bottle spit up that has inconveniently missed the 2 sq feet of burp cloth laid out in front of Sam and soaked my only pair of jeans from knee to rump; luckily I feed him in a slick leather chair. He is very good at thwarting my efforts to keep this from happening and I think I am more frustrated with myself for not anticipating it better, or being ready for it. You would think I could learn by now.

My wife has many pictures of Sam over the past 4 months of his life posted on her blog , since she keeps hers up better than I do. Check it out if you are interested and I will try to post some here that she hasn't posted; maybe some of Sam and me that are special to me.
