Sam's First Week

It's official - we've never done anything as amazing as being new parents! Sam is literally growing before our eyes, and he shows a little more personality every day. He's quite the little

thinker -- he loves to really focus on things as if he's trying to figure out everything he can about them -- and he loves to look out the windows at the great outdoors. He's eating and sleeping well, and we feel VERY blessed and lucky to have such a sweet, happy, and healthy baby.

Not surprisingly, being new parents means we spend so much time feeding, changing, and soothing (and oogling over) our son that we don't find much time to update the blog! Sam's fans have been demanding a new post, though, so here are some more pics from his first week of life.

My first bath...

Getting some love from Mom & Dad...

My little hands and feet are so sweet...

Showing off a hand-me-down outfit from my Uncle David...

Off to the pediatrician for my first check-up!

Posing with a map of Eastern NC (my mom is teaching me about my roots early)...

My big sister Annie loves me very much and is very protective of me...

Just a few pics of me chilling out and being sweet...

He'll be two weeks old tomorrow, and we promise to post pics from Week 2 this weekend!
