Fun With Daddy-O

Snack

Perhaps mistaking him for some sort of tasty treat, Sam happily attempted to eat his cousin Caden's feet. Caden = not amused.

Well, maybe a little amused.

Tooth

After a couple weeks of very uncharacteristic fussiness, Sam got his first tooth in today! Way to go, little buddy.

Halloweenies 2011

Halloween '11 was a year for a variety of costumes, depending on the event. Elizabeth went as a "Penguin Princess" for her school party and a "Regular Princess" for trick-or-treating. Sam and Caleb shared Caleb's "Thor" costume, except for when Sam was a pea. We trick-or-treated with our friend Karen, who lives down the street with her dog, Lily.

Punkins

Jack-O-Lanterns 2011. Bet you can guess whose is whose.
