A: Anniversary

August Blogging Challenge!  Let's do this thing.

My parents celebrated their 40th wedding Anniversary on Saturday.  We threw them a rockin' party in Helena, Montana and they had a blast.  They must be the cutest couple with 40 years of marriage under their belts.

Yay, Mom & Dad!  We love you.

Diary of a Sleepy Kid

I've been reading a lot about sleep lately.* The books and websites tell me that I should put Sam down sleepy but awake. And to do it before he gets fussy and overtired. That sounds easy enough. But adorable little Sam moves like lightening from one state to another. In fact, after only 45 minutes of being awake (after a nap or a night's sleep), he starts to do this:

This talking and kicking is super cute, but believe me, a coo or a smile can turn into a cry at any second. It's hard to rush him off to bed at moments like this because I'm in such disbelief that Sam is tired already and because he obviously has something to say.
* No surprise there.

Let the Fun Begin!

Sam doesn't quite know what to do with the exersaucer yet.

Frankly, I'm a bit overwhelmed by it myself.
