More family

Sam got to meet more family last weekend. His Poppa, Nana, Aunt Julie and cousins Ben and Jonathan came to visit. We went to the beach and the museum. He doesn't appear too happy on his first trip to the beach but he had a good meal and nap there so he didn't suffer too much. Gabby had a great time playing with her cousins in the back yard, at the pool, at the beach and at home.

Fun with the Coast Guard

Gabby had fun at the USCG Safety Day. She got to sit in a Blackhawk and a Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter. We toured various boats and vehicles. Samuel got all dressed up to go to church. Gabby thought he was beautiful!

Two weeks

Sam at two weeks. He weighed 7 pounds at the doctor's office and was 20 3/4 inches. Long and lean like his sister was.

All About Water

Gabby got her chance to help with Sam's first home bath and then Sam had his first outing to the Aquarium.

Gabby was a big helper at bath time, helping Mommy wash Sam, bringing us the towel and helping dry him off.

We all took a trip to the Aquarium. Gabby had fun pushing Sam's stroller. She finally got brave enough to have fun at the touch tank. She touched horseshoe crabs, starfish, and anemones.

Who loves Sam?

How could a baby be sad when he is so loved by his big sister Gabby??

She loves to hold and help out with Sam and give him lots and lots of kisses!
