Lindsay Ross Photography

My friend and old soccer buddy, Lindsay Ross, took some Sam and family pictures a few weeks back. We were in a field right by the IFA in Draper which was a HUGE distraction for Sam. He was just so focused on the flowers and shrubbery around him he did not even know we were there. I didn't think he smiled even once the whole shoot but here's where a good photographer comes in and boy was I wrong. She did such a great job of capturing the spectrum of Sam! Thanks Lindsay for completely exceeding our expectations.

Playing Catch-UP

So many pictures to bring you all up to speed. Heeeeeere we go!

Just some intensity while up Millcreek Canyon


This pic is funny because Sam's cousin Lukey really wanted to be in a picture. Here's someone who knows how to be camera ready!


Enjoying and orange


At the Zoo



Playing in Puddles with his cousins--He thought it was so funny when they would run and splash.



Heading down to St. George with friends trying to seek the sun since Utah has some how been teleported to the North West. Sam was sleepy...

Until he woke up and we took a pit stop and found some cute little farm animals :)

This colt played on this hill eating the rocks!

Sam with his friends Van and Elsie

Van wrestling Sam down which is exactly what his Dad tried to do with Jake. Yep, I said it. Zack tries to wrestle Jake. Jake may be "man concentrate" but he packs a mean wigglin', wrestlin' punch!

Bums Up!

Sam's first boat ride, he LOVED the boat...not the life jacket so much.

8 is Great

Can you believe this little munchkin is 8 months old? The term "munchkin" is now literal after going to the doctor last week. Sam is still soaring in the weight category, 20 lbs 8 oz putting him in the 76th percentile and shrinking in the height category, 27 inches putting him in the 23rd percentile. Simply put, our little one is pleasantly plump :)

8 Month Majors

He did his first army scoot on the floor 6/13/08
His first boat ride
Discovery of the tub plug chain which has resulted in some early ending baths
Rolling forward, backward, to the side
Sporadically waving goodbye
A huge distaste for diaper and clothes changes, which brings me to....
Lungs at a whole new level, he's at a screaming shriek now
Two little teeth on the bottom
Able to eat little snacks using his "pinchers"
Loves graham crackers
Smacks his lips when he wants "real food"
Does a clicking sound with his tongue
Thinks the Backyardigans are pretty neat
Is like his Mom with his love for the water
Still struggling with the sleep
Gives me the best kisses daily
Making new sounds like MaMaMa

To My Homies

Sam would just like to give a shout out to his two friends and cousins Cooper and Peter for making it to a big milestone. One. 1 is just fun. Way to go Coop and Pete and HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!
