Sam,It's 4:36am. Let's see if I can finish this before passing out.This past weekend both your mom and I had a terrible 24 hour stomach bug. It hit me first, then your mom and finally you. Your mom and I both thought we were going to die. Your mom took your temperature at one point and it was 105. You really didn't have the real bad stomach problems... but your fever and your sinuses have been

So, I haven't updated this in a year.Mostly due to a camera not being able to snap pictures well enough for this site. Though, I don't know that pictures is all that needs to happen here.Sam, as your personality is growing in front of me, I need to remind myself to jot down a few of your finer moments in life. The things that make me laugh and smile. There's so much, that I will just need to hold

Here's the picture of Sam we included in the official Christmas cards this year.This was a close second:Sam wanted nothing to do with Santa, so we are taking a mulligan on that official picture this year. Grace had no problem with Santa.Merry Christmas!

This year for Halloween Sam was a cowboy. Sam was a bit slow going house to house as he was distracted by Halloween in general. When you are two years and two months old and everything is glowing orange, kids running around all dressed up and an array of lawn decorations everywhere you look, one has to stop and look around (alot). Some more fall scenes Noah & Jaime's friend Tom came for a visit

Wow... I thought I had posted this.Here's Sam in September.The kid loves apples, so a trip to an orchard was in order.Sam also graduated into a big boy bed this month.

Time flies when you are having fun.Sam turned two years old this past Wednesday. Photos would have been up sooner, but the service I use to update this site has been on the fritz for me.Anyways... we kept the occasion mellow, because Sam is far from mellow now. He's kind of got that "terrible two" thing going on. He's also incredibly fast and slippery. The more excitement in the air, the more

Sam is warming up to his sister. We aren't sure if he understands that he's a big brother yet. Though, he is very sweet to her. He has offered her his bottle, his sippy cup, his cheese puffs and has just given her a kiss as of yesterday.Click the pictures below to enlargeSam's first peek at Gracewith his friend Annabelle at the hospitalSam has grown 3 inches in the last 3 monthsAt Grandma Sandy's

OK. Sam is a bit fussy when it comes to food. Vegetables need to be snuck in when and whereever possible. Bananas, strawberries and watermelon are about the only fruits he'll consider. Regular main dishes of bite sized pieces of pancakes, chicken nuggets, turkey dogs, grilled cheese and like he will eat. Though, enjoying those foods does not hold Sam's attention. While eating meals he tends to

As cute as Jaime and I think Sam's shaggy hair may be... we do understand that some folks may consider this neglect. Not to mention 50% of store clerks have said, "how old is she?" That said, we put down our fears that he wouldn't sit still in the barber chair. We ran him around good to wear him out, see the previous posts photos from this weekend (we tried to get the haircut Sunday afternoon,

Other than a few trims of his bangs, Sam hasn't had a first haircut yet. I'm not sure he will sit still for one until he's 12.Anyways, here's a few snaps from the other day.He's almost as big as the cat!

View online at SamLamson.comIt's hard to believe Sam is one already.The year has gone by so fast. So much has happened. We moved, we've out grown clothes (well Sam and I), we've done so much it's hard to put it all down in one place. I guess that's the purpose of this Web site.Sam has been a huge joy in our lives.

Noah's cousin Josh and family were in Southern Wisconsin this past weekend making rounds with the family. We sliced out some time to wear the kids out at Peace Park in Janesville. According to Wikipedia, Peace Park is home to the world's tallest Peace pole.Here's some pictures...with cousin ZoeSam kept saying,"oooooooh," while riding the swingsWith cousins Zoe and Finnwith cousin "Uncle" Josh

I kid you not, the guy took 4 steps in front of us yesterday, fell on his butt, then got up and took 4 more. Today I was witness to 3 steps and a face plant into the carpet. He laughed off the pain. What a trooper!The countdown to birthday number one begins NOW!Here are two recent photos of Sam trying to break free from one of the many new baby stoppers we've installed around the house.

Click the photos to enlarge. The chase is on. Sam can now crawl faster than me.Things Sam likes: phone cords, cardboard boxes, the cats, shoes, camera strap, belts, baby style chicken food, mini blinds, sips of orange juice, licks of ice cream, clothes hangers, mom's hair, thermometers, being outside, the kitchen floor, remote controls, cell phones and whatever else is on an end table that is

Hello! Couple things before the photos. Sam has figured out crawling! Well, he's gotten reverse down and every now and again he goes forward. At 7 1/2 months old, he can't seem to get enough of pulling the cats' hair, Jack's Big Music Show, sweet potatoes, pulling his mom's hair, holding onto your hands and taking small baby steps. He's also holding onto his bottle more and more.Bubbles with

When Sam was 4 weeks old, I posted a photo of him wearing a pair of Chuck Taylor sneakers. They were obviously too big. The other day I spied them in the back of his closet. Now he's about to outgrow them. Here's a few pics from my cell. Our camera just went kaput.He's already got the next size ready to go.
