\"Sam<\/a> <\/p>\n

I remarked to Ben that Sam was three weeks old today.\u00a0 Overhearing us from the backseat, Jack piped up “Sam is three?\u00a0 He is the same age me was!”\u00a0 We explained weeks versus years, but he was still tickled that they were both three.<\/p>\n

Sam is growing heartily.\u00a0 (Why do all romper-makers think babies have stumpy legs?\u00a0 I know my boys are long, but the body fits!\u00a0 Why are the legs all capri length?)<\/p>\n

\"Sam<\/a> <\/div>\n

He really is a good baby too.\u00a0 He has a nightly fuss starting at 7:30.\u00a0 But I can manage it easily and it doesn’t last the hours that I recall it lasting with Jack.\u00a0 In general he behaves better than I expect a newborn to behave.\u00a0 Sam is awake for about an hour at a time, then he naps for 1-2 hours.\u00a0 At night he goes back to sleep rather quickly with a swaddle and a couple minutes of rocking.
\"Sam<\/a> <\/p>\n

Sam can turn himself from his back to his side.\u00a0 He hasn’t flipped all the way back to front yet, but there have been times I thought he would.\u00a0 He can hold his head up while sitting for several seconds.\u00a0 Even longer if he’s having a gassy fit \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 He already lifts his head a little during tummy time.\u00a0 (Jack LOVES “tummy time.”\u00a0 I think he likes anything “time.”\u00a0 He gets down on the blanket with Sam and mimics him, or pretends to swim, or does what he thinks are exercise moves.)
\"Sam<\/a> <\/p>\n

Today was a nice day.\u00a0 Ben worked from home, so I got to see him periodically.\u00a0 I signed up Jack for some dance and art classes. \u00a0 That will be fun when they start in a couple weeks.<\/p>\n

Today we had our first snow!\u00a0 I like to make Belgian waffles on the first snow of every year.
\"Sam<\/a> <\/p>\n

Jack was sad the snow wasn’t enough to make snowballs, and was melted by 10 AM.
\"Sam<\/a> <\/p>\n

But it was still a lovely October day.\u00a0 We went for a walk around the neighborhood before going out to lunch with Ben.\u00a0 (He’s trying to make a funny face.\u00a0 Most of my photos are some variation of this now.)\u00a0
\"Sam<\/a> <\/p>\n

During quiet time I cleaned dishes and gave Sam a bath.\u00a0 After Ben and I finished work and Jack woke up we went to Cherry Creek mall.\u00a0 Sadly, the play area was torn up for renovations.\u00a0 So Ben and Jack went to a toy store and bought hoodies at H&M while Sam and I browsed the Janie and Jack store.\u00a0 I indulged in a cute romper for Sam to wear for his blessing.\u00a0 We all met up for pizza then went home for a quiet evening.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Two more Samigrams, just because of the cuteness. \u00a0
