The beginning

Sam's heartbeat while inside
I'm ready to have a baby
The hospital awaits
I'm so ready to have a baby!
The baby is out!
Sam Polkinghorne, hour 1
A small little bundle
hanging out on the bed
Emma gets some love too
Still not ready for the world
Emma is ready to be a Mom
hanging out on the chair
Just hanging out
He goes with ice cream too
Still a little one
Lazy bum
Sleep is my friend
The big, and the little
I love to stand!


Two months old already!

Standing brings a smile
Peace
More smiles
Check out those neck muscles
Smiling
Grandma visits!
I like the floor too!
Another big one
A very comfortable hike


Four months

What I think of rice cereal
I have a great sister!
A rare moment of rest
Chewing on his favorite toy
A make-over courtesy of Emma
My favorite way to exert energy
A happy ride!
I sure do love to jump with my cousin, Ceili
Another happy moment of rest
Everything I'll ever know I'll learn from my big sis
A smile from across the room


Six months

I love baths!
Sping the bottle, err, Sam
Starting to crawl, watch out!
They play together nicely sometimes anyway
I'll crawl one day
Nothing as wild as the bath
Sam definitely wears everyone out
Finger food time
Grandpa and Grandma visit
A very smiley boy
And what boy doesn't like cars
Ooo, the dishwasher!
Happy doing anything
Christmas
I love this kitchen!

The one-year mark

Headbanging
I know to pray
Dancing to the music
Starting to walk!
Cruisin' around now
Yummy=messy
Yogurt is good
The chased
Cups aren't for drinking, duh
My own craft to drive
Helmets are all kinds
Stirring up some yummy
A stool, of sorts
Loading up the laundry
Future photographer
Grandpa reading with me
Pretend food!
You didn't see anything...
At the lakeside


Eighteen months

Always time for playing in the sink
Snuggling with Dad
Hiding while eating
I'm innocent
I'll wash my own hair thank you
If only I had a sink to call my own
The stomping feet
Ready for mailing!
Jumping training from Emma
Acoustical cup
My version of a somersault
