Drinking from a Cup is Messy!

We've been practicing drinking water from a real cup, which Sam thinks is really cool. It's also kind of sloppy....

Sam stayed over at my parents' on Saturday so Ben and I could have a night out with some friends. Rachel and Jackson were staying over so they took care of him while Mom and Dad went out with some friends of their own. They got some bonding time in! Jackson sure took good care of Sam - holding his hand while he walked around and alerting me when Sam would try to play with the electric fence base for Audrey (don't worry - it can't shock you!).

Day at the Park

Yesterday we took advantage of the nice weather and took Sam to the playground at Lunken airport. I've been sick since Wednesday and was desperate to get out even though I still felt pretty bad. Seeing Sam have so much fun made me feel a little better, though! Sam started walking on Friday, so he got to practice his skills. He did not like falling in the mulch, although he eventually got used to it. He even tried climbing the climbing wall a little bit.

Can you tell Sam likes to swing?
