Sam Starts Off the New Year with a Bang!

 Flickr Photo

It has been far too long since the blog’s been updated. The past several weeks have been awfully busy for everybody, so the blog has been neglected. Sam has been moving ahead by leaps and bounds. He had a great visit with his Uncle Jerry and Grandma Rita in Savannah a few weeks ago. He has also given his parents a wonderful present for the New Year – he is now sleeping through the night!!! (Most of the time, anyway). He wakes up on occasion, but now soothes himself back to a slumber. (Most of the time, anyway). He has also begun to table walk with a fervor – yesterday, he went round and round and round the coffee table in the living room. He also loves to push his baby walker around the house – or any other object he can lean on! Amy swears he’s said the word ‘YES’ several times – but he doesn’t have any idea he’s said it.

It looks like we are entering the dreaded Teething Phase II (TPII). Looks like ol’ snaggletooth will have a pair of pearly whites on top to match his bottom ones. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the whining, clinging and generally demanding waking phases give way once this teething is over. Of course, Mom and Dad just whine right back – which usually elicits one of Sam’s trademark smiles.

Here’s a photo update for those who need a Sam fix.

Workin’ Through New Years

Instead of spending New Year’s with my family to welcome in 2006, I’ve joined my other extended family in the Time Warner Center in NYC as we launch CNN.com on our very own ad server, DoubleClick’s Dart Enterprise system. We’ve been busting our butts on this for several months, and today’s efforts have gone amazingly smoothly, with teams in both Atlanta and here in NYC making everything work out.

First Channukah!

As you can see above, Sam thoroughly enjoyed his first Channukah. He was very excited about the paper, and even more so by the cute Gund doggie inside who his promptly began to spontaneously hug. More pics of the Sagan and Handelman’s from Sarasota here.

Nothing big, just cute pics of Sam

Just felt the need to post some photos of our cute little guy. He’s having a ball with the push-cart thingy our friend Jan gave him.
