I’m late in posting several important Sam updates. First of all, he had his second haircut the week before Thanksgiving. This time, we went much shorter, and boy does he look cute. His hair had been growing like wildfire, so we figured we’d avoid monthly haircuts by being a bit more aggressive this time around. In other news, we have TEETH! We suspect that this has been the cause of Sam’s recent nighttime fussiness, but he seems to be on the rebound. He now has two of his lower front teeth poking out, and continues to love to chew on anything he can get his mouth on. ON a related note, Julie convinced us to let him try a Cheerio while we were in Boston for Thanksgiving, which he sort of choked down. We tried the following day again, this time with the little cereal bits softened with a bit of formula. That went much better for Sam and his parents. And in a final bit of news, Sam actually slept through the night on 11/29 while we were in NYC. We’d had a very long day with him the night before (dinner with the Golus/Celadonia clan at Serafina) and put him down around 10pm. When we woke up in the morning we realized he’d slept all night Hoorah!
‘Twas a lovely six days spent in Swampscott, Littleton and Boston with the my brother, Amy’s sister, and the extended Trotz-Handelman-Sagan clans. Sam had a heck of a great time with all his cousins and was even happier than usual. This gallery includes photos of Mason’s Thanksgiving pageant, turkey preparations and carving, an NHL game at the ‘new’ Boston Garden, Faneuil Hall, and lots of family photos (starring Sammy, of course!). Enjoy.
Amy did a great job carving a goofy pumpkin, not to mention one for our little guy. Click this link to see a gallery of the Kangaroo’s Playgroup trick or treating.
Sam is taking to this food thing like a champ. Dad hasn’t quite mastered the art of avoiding the ‘messy face’ at the end of it, but there’s almost no food Sam won’t take these days. He’s been eating banana, avocado, baby oatmeal, peas, green beans, squash, etc. We’ve been giving him as much of ‘our food’ as we can, and he loves it all. Only reject so far was a pureed chicken & vegetables that frankly, tasted horrendous to us. Why should Sam eat that if we wouldn’t?
