Learning to turbo crawl and growing 4 teeth, all in a days work!

turbo crawl

turbo crawl

lol, Sammy started crawling a couple

weeks ago and it was heart melting! I’m

sure all of you remember how awkward

those first crawls are. He looked like

Bambi learning to walk, never went in a

straight line, and had to belly flop every

yard or so to “rest” :) . Well, it goes by

faster than lightening. He is now a PRO

crawler and has mastered what I refer to

as the “turbo crawl”. He will take off at

warp speed, giggling loudly the entire

time. Sometimes we crawl behind him and

pretend to “almost” grab his toes and he

gets laughing so hard that he can barely

breathe. It is so adorable. He will be

walking in no time!

Baby Eyes!

Posted under Sammy by coryelvidge

Baby eyes are my favorite! They are SO gorgeous! And I am constantly amazed at how different they are. Here are snapshots of Sammy and three of his cousins, Cole, Max, and Anderson. Look at each of their eyes! Sammy’s are a beautiful green, Cole’s are a brilliant aqua, Max’s are a deep sapphire, and Anderson’s are a steel blue. Gotta love baby eyes!

Belly Laughs

lol, ok here is a RECENT video clip (taken last week) of Jared making Sammy laugh hard. “Ahh the things that amuse babies.” And then I guess you have to say, “Ahh, the things that amuse parents.” lol

Sammy Laughing

Posted under Sammy by coryelvidge

lol, I have been trying to figure out how to post little video clips I catch of Sammy. This video is actually seriously old, a few months.. which in the life of a baby is like 16 years. But I still love his adorable little laugh. Mostly I am just posting this to test out my video posting skills and see if it works! PLEASE NOTE: In case you weren’t aware… It is an actual LAW that when you are watching videos of babies, you MUST disregard any and all sounds and/or actions, on the video, that come from the parents of the child.

This next one is a “how to” video. “How to eat an apple when you are a 9 month old.” I know what you are thinking but nope, you don’t use your hands! :)
