Boy #2 on the way

It's another boy!!!

We are really excited!! Sam will have a little buddy, and I can't wait to get their room ready. We don't have any names decided yet, but we are leaning towards Benjamin "Ben".

Sam is almost 2, and he gets more fun each day. His newest thing is to answer by humming "mmm hhh" instead of saying "yes". It is so cute, and so full of energy!!

A Glimpse of Sam's Vocabulary

Sam's New Word: "ELMO!!!"

Sam's favorite letters of the alphabet: o, e, i, & s (we watch a lot of Wheel of Fourtune)

New baby

Baby is moving these days...thumping and bumping, but not somersaulting like Sam did. This baby is much less active, so far.

1 week until the doctor's visit!!

Phone Infatuation

Sam is infatuated with phones, especially cell phones.

Sometimes Sam gets to play with Papa's cell phone, and he gets very excited and enthralled.

Christmas Train

Sam loved Papa's train that went around the tree. To this day, when he sees a train, he says, "Papa!!" He remembers that train...what a little boy!

Big Daddy & Aunt Aaralyn

I love these pictures!!! You can see the love spewing from them!! (These were from Dec)

Electronic Explosions

Well, our camera bit the dust...it was a sad day in the White household. Our vaccuum also decided to explode and nearly catch on fire this week. That was rather traumatic as well. Sam cried, Josh flew out of the other room in a frenzey, I tried to remain calm and cool as not to alarm the boy or the other boy. By the time I was able to turn it off, pieces had flown off of it, the shell had cracked, it was convulsing, and smoking. I figured out the motor blew. Sam had a great time helping me "fix" it. He loves tools!! He worked on that thing for a good hour or so. Then, we tossed it in the trash. So, this has not been our week for electronics.

I am not sure when we will get a new camera. I have researched them, and I know the exact one I want. But, until then, I have some older pictures I can post (not this week - too many papers to grade and mid-term grades are due!!)

ALSO...We find out if we are having a boy or girl next Thrusday the 21st!!! We are so excited!!
