This and That

I've fallen a bit behind in updates.  The past few weeks have been relatively uneventful.  We finally settled on a new car and bought ourselves a nice, shiny Subaru Outback, which we like very much!  Aside from that excitement, we've just been rolling along the past few weeks. 

Samuel continues to grow.  He hit a huge growth spurt last weekend.  Sunday morning, he could just barely reach the doorknobs.  When he woke up from his 3.5 hour nap Sunday afternoon, he was palming the doorknobs.  We are pretty sure he put on an inch in just a few hours.  He's also been busy cutting molars and has two nice, new molars poking through, with two close behind. 

Here are some recent snapshots.

 It's never too early to start learning about chemistry.

Recent favorite activity: Removing all books from bookshelf (because he's tall enough to reach them now!)

Solution to diaper rash from *you know where*?

Loosely fitted cotton trifolds and a LOT of Desitin Maximum

Playtime with Daddy - he's hilarious!

Samuel's growth spurt meant forward-facing car seat!

Little Man feeling like a big stud!

Our first jungle gym visit

So much fun...

 We ended up with one tired boy!
