Then he started pressing the button, too much. On and off.

When he got the concept of what the "orange button" was, at first he would only come up at touch it with one finger, not hard enough to start the toy.

Snow!

Swartz Creek received its first snow of the season in the early hours of Thanksgiving. Samuel hates the process of getting into his snow getup but seemed to enjoy being outside (per usual).

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving for us was at our house this year, with Grandparents on the Bira side, Grandma Irene, Aunt Karina, and Uncle Ryan in attendance. We had a gourmet turkey prepared by Hannah, which was wonderful. Samuel had pureed turkey with yams and cranberry sauce.

All smiles

Pretty much 24/7 smiles and good behavior over here. No whining ever.

Samurai

I promise to post some pictures from thanksgiving, and some in the snow, but until then, please enjoy this picture of Samuel in a purple headband.

You don't often see samurai with purple headbands, but you do see them.

GQ

Well, as close as he would get to a GQ pose in his leather jacket.

Another Hope sweatshirt

But can you have too many?

Samuel and Mommy

Samuel has taken to smiling after he sees the flash of a camera. So if you use the red eye reduction mode and take it just right, you can catch the squint.

View from above.

A good day to you.

Drummin'

Playing drums with Uncle Chad.

Playing with Caesar

Or at least thats what Samuel thought it was.

Dancin'

Samuel enjoyed the music from this toy he acquired while at Grandma Irene's house.

Costume/Uniform

Hannah made Samuel some scrubs out of an old pair of mine. He wore them to the residency halloween party.
