Yiayia and Papou

We had a great visit with Yiayia and Papou last week! Sam especially liked it when Yiayia sang to him. We had better food than you can get at any restaurant. I even learned how to make tsoureki (a Greek braided orange-flavored bread, similar to brioche).

Sam has passed the six week fussy peak and growth spurt and is quite a different baby now. He is holding his head up, he sits in our laps, and he loves to stand up too. His legs are really strong, but he gets frustrated with his arms. He wants to reach out and grab things, but he hasn't quite figured it out yet. He loves to spend hours in his swing now (which is great for Mommy and Daddy). He loves to watch the fish mobile and the flashing lights above the swing. He also loves to look at himself in the mirror.
