Dear Sammy,
Lately you've been interested in helping Mom and Dad cook. You're really quite good at stirring batters and rolling cookies in cinnamon & sugar. :) I asked you if you wanted to be a chef when you grew up, but you still want to be a doctor. Either way, I'll be happy.
Currently you're eating dinner and watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates. I think there's more tv than eating, actually. Tonight is Daddy's poker night, so maybe we'll watch a movie after you've finally finished dinner.
I love you so much,
Mommy

Kung Fu Panda
Dear Sammy,
We're sitting on the couch tonight, watching Kung Fu Panda 2. This is your favorite movie of the month. You are trying to do the kung fu moves for inner peace, which is totally adorable. Tonight we had dumplings (like Panda) and maybe later a little ice cream. It's been a really nice day.
I hope you know how much Mommy loves you. The little hugs and kisses throughout the day mean the world to me.
Now, I'll get back to watching the movie, so I don't miss Panda, as you say.
Love,
Mom

An Ordinary Monday
Dear Sammy,
We're sitting at home watching Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas. You're running up and down the hallway, playing with your toys. You're getting so big now, even at 2 years old. I want you to know that Mommy loves you very much. Every day for the past 2 1/2 years has been such an adventure, but we're learning together. Right now, you love watching cartoons and trains. We took you on the Santa train this year, last weekend. You loved it. This Christmas is going to be big. We put up the tree together with Uncle Mike, and Jingle (your elf) came to visit right after Thanksgiving. Today he's hiding in your penguin stocking, and you found him straight away this morning.
It's awesome to watch you learn. It's almost lunch time, so I'm going to go. I'm sure you'll ask for dinosaur chicken nuggets, by the way.
Love,
Mom

Laughter
Dear Sammy,
Today you laughed for us twice! It was adorable and absolutely hilarious! I tried to record it, but you must have known, because you wouldn't do it again. One of these days...
Right now, I'm feeding you and staring down at you falling in and out of sleep. You're wearing an adorable yellow onesie with a monkey on the front. It's appropriate, since I call you my little monkey. Your grandparents call you 'Snotterlumps'.. Don't ask, I have no idea.
Tonight the Crosstown Classic is being played on the South side of Chicago. Our Cubbies won 6-3! It's always a good day when the Cubs win a game, even better when it's against the White Sox! (A side note - the Cubs played the Yankees this past weekend and lost the series 2-1.. A fact that your Dad enjoys..)
You're drifting to sleep now, baby.. I hope you're having sweet dreams. I love you.
Love, Mom
PS - Here's a picture of you from today.. Love the smiles!

Father's Day #1
Dear Sammy,
Today is your Dad's first Father's Day. He's pretty ecstatic, honestly. Seeing you two together is quite something. The way each of your eyes light up, the way your Dad melts when you smile and coo just for him; it's priceless.
We are so happy to have you in our lives, baby. I cannot imagine how we ever got on without you! I know you won't remember this day, but I am sure your Dad will hold it in his heart forever.
Love, Mom

Happy 2 month birthday!
So Sammy, good morning =)
I had to leave you and mommy today, you were fussing and just starting to wake up. Mommy got up with me, and fixed her coffee after she took you out of the crib and laid you in bed with her. Apparently she took too long for your liking =)
Yesterday was your 2 month checkup, and you were 22 inches long, and weighed in at 10lbs and 11 ounces. I had guess 11lbs 9ozs, and I think mommy's guess was 12lbs 4ozs? I may be a bit off on that, I'll have to ask her =) Well that just goes to prove that weighing you in her arms on the bathroom scale is NOT accurate LOL.
You seem no worse for wear this morning after your shots, but we'll see how you do today. I will be missing you and mommy a lot, as I always do. Tonight, we may be going out to dinner with Mr. Bob from work, so we'll see if you are as good as you usually are =)
OK, Daddy has to go to work now, I love you.
XOXOXO

From Daddy
"My little Sammy,
This is your daddy. I'm sitting here at work, reading mommy's blog for the first time. I'm going to write more as I have time, but I just wanted you to know how much you are loved, and how much you mean to both of us.
Last night, I tried to take a nap with you, and you sure wanted nothing to do with that =) Mommy's right, you do not like being on your back when you're awake, you really don't even like being craddled on your back in our arms. Sitting up is your position of choice. For me, you like it best on my stomach, either facing me watching out the window, or away if we're watching TV.
Love, your Dad =)"
So above is what I started trying to blog to you, about 6 hours ago Sammy... Daddy is very frustrated with this new technology!!! I can't even copy-paste into this thing!!!!
We took you for your doctors visit just earlier, you were a brave little boy, but you sure don't like liquid medicine, just like daddy =) You had 4 shots tonight, 2 in each leg... They hurt a lot, but you stopped crying very quickly. You went to sleep right afterwards, and we took you out to dinner, daddy got fish fry!!! I sure hope you like seafood like me =)
OK, time to go get you up since you're still sleeping so we can snuzzle for a little bit before bedtime... Deadliest Catch is on, we like to watch that! =)
Love, Daddy
