Of course we had to buy Sam the biggest pumpkin we could find for his 1st Halloween :-) We actually don't know the exact weight since the scale at the pumpkin patch would not read anything over 30 lbs. I'm guessing it's about a 35 lb. pumpkin but all that really matters is that Sam loves it! He climbs right up the side and uses the top to balance. This weekend we took pictures of our little owl with his very first pumpkin - too cute! 
Today we took advantage of the beautiful fall weather and took Sam out for his 1st swing at our neighborhood playground :-) He looked a little confused when Craig first put him in the swing, but once he got going he LOVED it!! We've decided that this needs to be a daily activity for Sam while the weather is still nice! 
I have to be very honest and say that Sam has always been a very good sleeper. Once he reached about 3 months he was sleeping through the night, about 7-8 hours...a dream come true after those MANY middle of the night feedings. Over the last few months Sam has grown to be quite the sleeper because he is now averaging 10-12 hours a night. Last night he broke his record for the 2nd time and made it to 13 hours!!! The moment he came out of his crib Sam made it very clear to Craig and I that play time would have to wait because it was time to eat breakfast IMMEDIATELY!
Sam is really beginning to show how attached he is to us lately. I am noticing more and more how excited he is when Craig comes home from work. He giggles and bounces in my arms waiting for Craig to take him. Craig definitely has the role of the "fun parent" since almost all of his time with Sam is spent playing :-) Sam adores him! These are just a few pictures of the boys spending time together.
