Bell Museum, Part 2

A little video of Sam running around the Bell Museum. We pretty much had the place to ourselves, so he had a blast running around and looking at everything:

Bell Museum

The whole family went to the Bell Museum of natural history for Mommy's birthday! Sam loved it--he was running all around pointing at all of the birds, animals, and fish.

Pretty in Pink

Bath time!

Naomi is nice and clean--Sam helped Mom and Dad give her a bath.

Sledding

Sam had a great time sledding with daddy in the backyard. Of course his happy balloon had to come along for the ride:

Just like Grover Cleveland

Sam has a mild infatuation with mustaches these days. He always tells us which presidents have them.

Presidents

We thought Sam was just parroting Mike when they played "piles". Turns out he was paying attention!



Yes...this from the boy who brought you "barking spider" yesterday.

Was that a toot?

Nope. A barking spider.

(Mom can't help but laugh!)

Santa!

Today we took Sam and Naomi to see Santa! Naomi slept through it while Sam, Mom and Dad had a great time! Bad weather meant we almost had the place to ourselves, which made it easier to enjoy with a toddler. Sam liked the "Day in the Life of an Elf" display (the entire 8th floor of Macy's) and didn't cry on Santa's lap. He especially liked eating the gingerbread man at the end and in true kid fashion picked the candies off and ate them first. Afterward we all picked out Christmas ornaments--Sam chose an owl :)

Christmas Tree

Last weekend we took Sam and Naomi out to cut down our Christmas tree! Naomi slept through most of it, but Sam had a fun time helping Daddy cut down the tree and feeding the animals at the petting zoo.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

At first we thought this was a fluke since Naomi's only 5 weeks old, but she's done it many times!

Hiccups

Piles

After dinner Sam often asks to play "piles" with Daddy. He's referring to his pile of US President and 50 States flash cards. He particularly likes James K. Polk. This video is a little dark, but we thought it was too cute to keep to ourselves:
