New Toys for Sam

It's an exciting world for kids when there are such fun toys for them to discover and that is what Sam has found during our stay here in Utah. The stroller has become a torturing device since he found there was a new way to take a stroll with mommy! Without fail, Sam always grabs hold of the steering wheel each time we go for a cruise!

My mom bought a bouncer for all her new grand babies and it has become Sam's favorite toy. Without fail his little legs do an Irish Jig! Grandma Stomberg loved it so much, she bought one for her house too for Sam. Sam has also been discovering his voice and has found a new game of Copy Cat.

6 Months and Growing

It has been 6 months since we have had our special little Sam in our lives and we feel so blessed to have our amazing son! Right at Sam's 6 month birthday he decided to show off some pearly whites to us! Aren't they cute!!

Firsts for Sam

These little events are big events for Sam and I. Since we've been to Utah Sam has had a few fun little firsts!
Like discovering grass!

Taking a bath without a baby tub! He loved to splash!!

Playing and sharing toys with cousin Tristan!

Sitting in a high chair for his meals!

Visiting the Strombergs

Sam & I have been able to see Grandma & Grandpa Stromberg and Aunt Susan since we've been here and I think a great time was had by all. Sam and I plan on making many more opportunities to visit with the Stromberg side and enjoy our little Sam's company!


I guess this is how Sam shows his determination. What a riot you are Sam!

Coming to Utah

With Aunt Ashley's help we had a great flight to Utah, with the last leg being filled with babies. We were actually glad that was over. We think that Sam was the best baby on board!

Grandpa & Grandma Bean met us at the airport that night and I think everyone was glad to see each other. It's always such a relief to arrive to your destination. The next day, Sam was able to meet the newest Bean cousins (Tristan & Samantha.) It was really cute to see them smile and play with each other. Grandpa had just as much fun as them!

Aunt Ashley Comes to Laura's Aid


If it were not for my sister Ashley, I don't know if I could have packed everything up, take care of Sam and close up the house for 4 months! This was an emotional experience and I feel blessed for family that always comes to my aid.

Ashley and I decided to relax a little and play dress up with Sam at Old Navy. Sam please forgive us, but you're so darn cute!!
