Our friends Michelle and Mike recently got married down in St Simons Island, GA and we used their destination wedding as an excuse to plan a family vacation. We decided to rent a house on the beach and our nephew, Quinn, joined us to help with the kids. The wedding was great fun and we all really enjoyed having Quinn along for the trip.

We were recently in Georgia for a friend’s wedding and the change of venue brought out some new tricks in Sam and Wil. Sam surprised us by buttoning a shirt like it was no big deal (I had no idea kids his age could pull that off) and Wil decided to do this (the spitting was a real hit with our fellow plane passengers):
We’re very proud of them both!

“When I had my dog…” These are the words that preface just about every fantastic story that Sam decides to tell. For the past year or so, this has been his solution to becoming part of the conversation. You say you just got back from a vacation? When Sam had his dog, the two of them went on vacation all the time, including Wisconsin where they could go and see his family. You say you’re having car trouble? When Sam had his dog, the wheels fell off his car and they needed to take it to a mechanic…
I think it all started with Sam getting excited about the idea of having a pet dog and the phenomenon just grew from there and kept going. Most days he pretends to be something else (a dinosaur, a tiger, etc.), but anytime he’s tells a story that isn’t true it still always involves him and his dog. We have yet to start keeping track of all the adventures that the two have been on, but they would easily fill a few volumes by now. Whether it’s flying a concord jet, teaching each other how to dance, working on a construction sight building skyscrapers, or digging up dinosaur bones, they’ve been through a lot together.

Wil clearly adores his brother. From early on, he smiled at Sam, even though Sam was oblivious. More recently, Sam has started to realize that Wil laughs at his silliness so Sam is perfecting his slapstick comedy skills. Wil has always been quick to smile, but we have to work to get him to laugh. Sam is still able to get Wil to laugh in a way that Todd and I can’t easily achieve.

We fed Wil his first solid today–a soupy mix of avocado and breast milk. He seemed to think it was okay but he’s also eager to put everything in his mouth these days.
