Today I am 7 months old!!

I can't believe it! Sam is seven months old today. From this point until he is one year old he is going to go through a huge transformation. He is already starting to stretch out, get strong, and moving! For this month birthday, we took him to the Flamingo Park pool in South Beach. We used to rent right across the street before buying our place more north on the beach. Back then, it used to cost something to get in! Now it's free, ofcourse. It's an awesome facility and it has a great park right next to it. We are going to be coming here a lot. I take short videos with my camera once in a while. They feel like old home movies to me because they have no sound. Here he is swimming. Here he is swimming again. As for the videos I have posted before, you will need Quicktime player... and remember, like I said, they have no sound, so no... you are not doing anything wrong.

We got this great bathing suit from Amy (in Boston, Noah's mom) and I am trying to stretch it out until it absolutely does not fit him anymore... I love it that much. Here he is all lathered up with sunscreen and ready to go.

I know sweetie, this one is not heated like the other time.

Gets going anyway...


Swimming works up an appetite.

Sunday

Our neighbors and us got together to organize all the hurricane shutters for the building. I just got to carry Sam around and let him take in a beautiful day.

Thursday night

It's hard to get a shot like this these days, once he hears the camera go on...

...well too late, then comes the huge smile. He is already a Philippe Starck enthusiast.


Starting to crawl

An impromptu dinner with our neighbors Melissa and JJ. So far, you can take Sam out anywhere.

Taking over Grandpa Ernie's office

My deductions are bottles, diapers, and wipes... so how much do I get back?

Do I know you? Oh yes, at the hospital sure sure...



Taxes... boring!

Happy birthday to you....CRY!!!!

Why are they singing so out of tune...make it stop!

Sorry, I just can't take group singing yet, I am only 6 months old!

And what's up with this hat! That's it I'm leaving!

Sweet

Man! Sam is a sweetie!

Oh Dad, that's gross!

Yum!

Grass

Now he gets it!

Hmm... what is this stuff?

We had to take him away from the commotion for a little while and let him take in his first birthday party from a distance

...And can I eat it?

Sweet Jane helps with the transition back into party mode

Weeeee!
