Our Baby Size Life!

Wow…. May just flew right by!  It’s one of our busiest months of the year due to a bunch of birthdays and all the nice weather.  Nice weather means outdoor chores! Being outdoors means not being indoors… where the computer is… from which I can post. So, yeah, May was a slow month posting-wise, but I’m looking forward to rebounding strong in June! Sam’s second summer is looking to be way better than his first. This is true mainly due to the fact that this year, Sam can actually move on his own. No longer is he a bump in a log, no sir! This summer, he’s and explorer and a discoverer with limitless curiosity.  Naturally, we can’t wait to do all kind of summertime activities with the little guy like bungee jumping and spelunking… But until all that “perfectly safe for a toddler” fun starts, here’s a quick batch of pics taken in May that I’ve not posted before.  Just a bunch of little ditties that I could not squeeze  into a post.

Wow… We haven’t received this much chocolate in years!  Seriously, if I was to eat it all, I would need an insulin shot to keep me alive.  Sammy-boy is 14 months old, and we don’t give him any chocolate, so what do our families do?  They buy him chocolate! Too bad for Sam, Mom and Dad took ownership of the coco goodies until… well until we eat them. Yeah I know, sounds cruel doesn’t it? But as I am sure I’ve mentioned here before: Sam doesn’t like sweets.  Back when we went to the sugar shack, he turned his nose up at the sugar pie and maple toffee.  Regardless, we gave Samuel a sliver, a shaving, a hairline fracture of a piece of chocolate.  He took it in, his eyes lit up and he smile as it melted on his tongue.

He loved it!

What’s the harm in a little chocolate eh? So, I carve another wisp of chocolate for Sam and I gently place the quivering, thin piece on my finger tip and move towards his mouth. He looks at it and then looks at me smiles…

…and turns his head! No more chocolate for me! This kid changes his mind like Mom changes clothes!

Looks like Dads famous sweet tooth was not passed onto his son, yet.   But other than the chocolate set back, we had a fun long Easter weekend.  It all started Friday night when we went to Melissa’s sister for a big turkey dinner.  I know, turkey on Easter? Well let me tell you, I love turkey and I hate having to wait all year until Thanksgiving or Christmas to have some good turkey!  So, it was a very welcome surprise when she told us what we were eating.  It’s was good too, we ate like pigs, including Sam! Little oinker loves the turkey!

On Saturday evening, we headed up to my parents as they were nice enough (I’m sure we twisted their arms ) to babysit Sam while Mom and Dad went out on a date.  We had a good meal and took in a flick, it was fun and we’d didn’t realize how long it had been since we’d gone out together.  Then on Sunday, my bro and his girlfriend came over to join us along with a couple of my parents close friends for supper.  This time around, we had a delicious Ham roast.  Sam loved it, gobbling up the ham chunks with a fervor. And the mashed potatoes! Man alive he dug those like there was no tomorrow!

We had, as we always do, a great time with our families. Check out some pics of the day!
