And here we are, back to June again — let the birthdays commence! First up is my little Samwise, who is finally one year old. I say ‘finally,’ but it really has gone by at warp speed. What a year, man; what a year. Once I realized we had less than a month until Sam’s […]

sputnik; eleven months in orbit
Yay, yay, the sputnik post is on time — wait . . . oh. Ha ha. Yes, Sam turned 11 months old back on May 2nd; my 31st birthday. I happened to be home sick that day, then life just continued from there. I’ve been sick twice and Sam is sick right now. Lydia tried […]
sputnik; ten months in orbit
Sam’s getting to be an old man now: he has reached the big ten-oh. This past month was quite the busy one for him and thus he has kept Mommy and Daddy busy as well. He has even roped Lydia into the game of Pick Up The Toy I Just Threw On The Ground (And […]
sputnik; nine months in orbit
Hi, and welcome to the expectedly delayed nine month post of Sam! I doubt I’ll ever get one of these out on time. Near the 2nd, back when Sam actually reached nine months, he was under the weather and miserable; this past weekend, Steven and Lydia were under the weather in turn. My time came […]
sputnik; eight months in orbit
And here we are; we have reached the fine age of eight months old! Oh, so happy are we. At least, as long as we’re not hungry. Sam’s second tooth sprouted forth soon into his eighth month, not that it will help him much in the food department. Food introduction is going SLOWLY. So far […]
sputnik; seven months in orbit
First off, my apologies for getting this done a bit late. Sam turned seven months old a full week ago, but he was a miserable soul and we were all waiting for Monday so we could get him to the doctor. It turns out he had bronchiolitis and an ear infection. It also turns out […]
sputnik; six months in orbit
Sam reached the big Six Months Old way back on December 2nd. Life has a tendency to keep on happening and I’m just now finding a bit of sweet time to sit down and reminisce. First things first; I have been meaning to proclaim to the heavens that Sam’s tests on his kidneys and bladder […]
sputnik; five months in orbit
Five months. Finally, it seems. Last month was a long winding road of an incredible sickness that we still have not reached the end of yet, so I am just thankful that we’re in NOVEMBER and at FIVE MONTHS. I finished the last post with an epilogue, which now seems moronic. Way to tempt the […]
sputnik; four months in orbit
Samwise is scooting right along the calendar of time, turning four months old yesterday. Tomorrow I will get a doctor-certified length and weight on him when we go for his four month checkup. I’m guessing 16 pounds. My father has a bet in for 18. Sam’s schedule has stayed pretty steady this month — he […]
sputnik; three months in orbit
Sam is now three months old; a quarter of a year! When you’re eating and sleeping, time can really fly by. Poor Sam, he’s definitely the Second Child. This month I really began comparing him to Lydia and her Awesomeness of Sleeping Through The Night At TEN WEEKS OLD. She started one night at ten […]
