where's the sun?!

there has not been enough sun in Calgary to go outside without a sweater....but that means that Sam has been sporting the cute sweater Auntie Carolyn & Uncle Devin got him.

Happy Father's Day!

to a great dad who I always have fun with :)

ps....and thanks to Sam for giving mom a run for her money since she promised dad that he gets to sleep in!

First haircut

Sam finally got his first haircut today! he looks so much more like a boy and less like a baby ...

shaggy boy, pre-hair cut

lots of tears....what are you guys doing to me?! luckily mom was a little unsure how this would go so she had an emergency soother packed

bye-bye curls (mom is still weeping over this)

so grown up...sitting so nice and calm

the new "do"

New boots

rain, rain, go away....well, maybe not because Sam got new rubber boots today so he was enjoying splashing in the rain

Cute, but...

....not enough votes to get to the top 98 votes in Calgary. Thanks everyone for voting though....he's still cutest to me! :)

come on, he's cute! :)

Stuart's parents were passing through town this morning on a trip so we got to have a few hours with them and we went to Coffee n Scream for breakfast and play.

Sam got this little dog for his birthday and he's finally figuring out how to pull it (it barks when you pull it) and he has a blast pulling it around the house.

it's not teeth....

This weekend I thought that Sam must be getting his molars (he has all his other teeth) because he had a bad fever, was kinda whiney, didn't want to eat, and the biggest sign of all - he was cuddly! He also has a bad rash around his mouth but I thought that might just be from drooling from teething. But when we dropped him off at daycare this morning we discovered it is Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand,_foot_and_mouth_disease

Good news is that its a common viral infection and we just have to let it run its course.... but I feel bad for the poor guy. Tonight I thought he should have ice cream since one of the symptoms is a sore throat - it sure put him in a good mood :)

It's raining, it's pouring...

we had record rain in Calgary last week - but that didn't stop the boys from heading outside for a walk! Sam looks so adorable in his raincoat from Baba & Grandpa

ps....don't forget to vote for Sam every day from all your computers & phones! He is working on getting those back molars at only 16months (poor guy is having a hard time....these ones HURT!) and I am sure we will need that orthodontic package :)
