In an effort to "go green" dad has purchased the green shopping bags from the commissary. You can get them everywhere and sometimes they come with little bonuses.  I think if you get the bags at Giant you get $1 off at the register... and hey a buck is a buck.  Anyway, it's a good thing and the bags really aren't very expensive... also they carry more than a regular shopping bag... the only adverse effect that I have seen is that I can never seem to find a plastic bag to put the dirty diapers in anymore... oh well... I think I'll live.  The other great thing we found that these planet saving bags do is keep Sam entertained... He loves crawling around in them and getting picked up.  I took the opportunity to take some pictures outside of him "going green"!

Hi there everyone who randomly checks up on this blog!  I know that it's been a while since I last updated.  Things are going great and summer has been a blast and we still have a month or so left of it!  Sam has been enjoying himself in the pool which took a little getting used to.  I don't have a picture of it yet but he has a little ladybug floaty thing that he likes a lot better than the walrus that he's floating on in the pictures above (thanks Heather!).  He was a little timid at first but he's becoming more and more accustomed to the pool.  He's also taking baths now instead of his showers.  He's learning how to splash and play with bubbles.  We really like to get in the sink over at Grandma's.  It's just the right size.  
  Also Sam has now cut 4 teeth, 2 bottom and 2 top.  The bottom left came in first then the two top teeth then the other bottom tooth.  He's been a real trooper and I don't think we've even seen much change in his personality which has been great.  He's such a happy baby.  And he's finally crawling!!! He scootched for about a month before he crawled but now there is no stopping him!  Well that about wraps it up.  We are looking forward to the rest of our summer.
