Grandpa Stanley had to leave today since school starts next week. We weren't ready for him to leave. We did a lot of indoor stuff because we had something like eleven days straight over 100 degrees. We watched the Tour de France and the British Open. Americans won both! And, we cooked lots of yummy food, of course.
Daddy had a Food and Wine magazine which had some good recipes and an article on photographing food. Chris wants to make a family cookbook one day, so he took a few practice shots: asparagus wrapped with prosciutto and smoked chipotle citrus shrimp.
The instructor from the "Waterbugs" program came to talk to our class last Friday. Sam will have to wait until next year to enroll because the minimum age is 6 months old.
Our class is a rotating eight week class, so half of the mothers and babies won't be back after this week. We took this opportunity to take pictures of the babies together.
Sam had his two month doctor's visit last Friday. He was 10.5 lbs and 23.25 inches, so he's gained 3 lbs and grown 3 inches. He's in the 25th percentile for weight and 55th percentile for height, so he's long and skinny. He got four vaccinations (which he was not happy about). It was hard on Chris because he had to hold his arms down, and Sam was smiling at him right before they gave him the shots. Poor baby! Poor Daddy! Sam did well with the vaccinations though. He didn't get a fever; he was just a little fussy.

Ok, 10:00 at night is too late to be craving asparagus and shrimp!!! That just made me hungry. Recipes, please.
Sam is looking like a happy little boy. And why wouldn't he, with such cool parents. Looks like ya'll are doing a great job.
Can't wait to meet the cutie on Labor Day Weekend!!!
