"My name is Sam. I am a big brother. He cries a lot."





The title is what Sam has said on numerous occasions when meeting someone for the first time. To clarify, Jacob doesn't cry much. He doesn't sleep very long either. Right now two hours at a time is the average. Jake is also a noisy sleeper. I walked in to go to bed one night and Kate, Jake, and Gabby the wonder cat were all snoring at different volumes at different intervals. It sounded like a bar fight. Otherwise, things are going well. Jacob is wide eyed and active when he is awake. He seems to get excited like he is about to say something profound and then falls asleep.

Sam and I biked downtown and did a self guided Capitol tour a few weeks back. Then we hit the trifecta of two and a half year old boy dreams: a park on a lake with lots of birds to chase and a view of active road construction. Then a fire truck drove by and Sam almost exploded.

Sam caught an inchworm at the park last night. He put it in the "dumper" on the back of his tricycle and brought it home to show mommy and Jacob. We went back outside to put it on a tree and Sam said it had to be a little tree because it was a little inch worm.

Any day now

































Baby #2 "Dumbo" will be here any day now.

We took some pictures this morning and Sam was a big help setting up.

Last week he helped move his bed to his new big boy room.

The clock is ticking (again).
