It was a mild morning this Sunday, so we trooped off to Zoo Atlanta for a bit of exercise. Of course, the tele lens and camera were in tow. Apparently due to some rain this morning, the place was nearly deserted. We were literally alone with the docent in the Panda exhibit. One was asleep, but the other was splayed out eating some of the thirty pounds of bamboo she scarfs on a daily basis. Sam really enjoyed the up close look.
The photo safari continues after the link…
So my brother Jerry dug up this photo of me circa age 1 give or take. Compare and contrast with the second photo below of Sam – there certainly seems to be more of a resemblance than I’d realized….
Photo of yours truly at about 1 year, circa summer 1967.
Sam’s photo below, at about ten months, December 2005.

Just a quick note. In one of his cutest moments to-date, Sam waved goodbye to me as I was leaving for work this morning. For those readers without kids, I’m sure you’re like ‘so what’ – but let me tell you, it really tugs at the ol’ heartstrings. He’s such a cutie!
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.
