Another baby due Friday!  I’ll add photos once we can see straight. We are very excited for the new one. Sam is going to have a little buddy to beat up. Sweet!

Well its been 8 months since the last post. Its going by pretty quick so far. Sam is doing amazing. The little sucker is 28 inches tall now and is over 20 pounds. Its truly is amazing how fast they grow. Imagine tripling your weight in 8 months. That would be a site to see.

Here are the results:

Sam's first tast of food.

Many things have happend over the last 8 months, to much to type, so I will attempt to do this more often. Below are some links to albums over the past 8 months

On 1/5/2011 we welcomed Sam into our lives. He has been an amazing little guy to be around. He’s been doing the typical baby stuff like pooing and peeing everywhere; keeping us up late at night; being super cute constantly; asking me for money; borrowing the car to take chic’s out, you know…

Here are some pics of is first few days of life. Enjoy!

After hours of deliberation on paint color, some tears, some early morning runs to the paint store (don’t ask) and a good painter, we are finally done with the baby room. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I painted the crib you see in the pictures below. It was a hand-me-down from my sister, so it’s getting lots of use.

Below are some before and after shots of our former office. It now makes a perfect baby room for our boy who is now squirming in Erica’s belly. We are very excited for his arrival. If he only knew how much we have already done for him. Enjoy.

We took a bit of a hiatus for the past few weeks but our little boy sure hasn’t. The little sucker is getting close to 4 pounds. That’s less weight than a small chicken at the grocery store but as ferocious as baby alligator. Mama is doing well, just getting her innerds beaten up each night by the little guy. Below are some recent pictures of a baby shower we recently had with all of our friends. Enjoy.

Here is a photo of Erica and I at Steve’s wedding on September 11th. As you can see we are both looking stunning and if you look a bit closer you can see our boy. He’s kind of hard to see but he’s there.

We took this photo before our most recent ultrasound so we are bit out of whack here however there is more to come. Our little boy is growing, and so is mama.

This week we found out we will be welcoming a little boy to our family, and we could not be more thrilled!  He will be arriving into this world around January 5 – what a great way to start off our new year together.  We are now in full swing with moving forward on all the planning and baby room decorating, and can’t wait to get everything ready for his arrival.   Erica just started feeling the baby move around about a week ago, we we know our boy is going to be an active one. When he’s ripe, I’m sure he will pay us a visit.

Below are some ultrasound images from our last visit. We were able to see all of his organs and extremities. Pretty crazy. Below are his feet. Pretty cute.

Enjoy!
