Most Annoying Toy EVER!

So, here it is - the most annoying toy ever.  As a disclaimer, it cost only $1.50 at the GM Sale so the investment was certainly very minimal.  I was acutally a little concerned/Scared at Sam's initial reaction as i didn't know if he was attacking it or scared and trying to get away!  Originally, I thought it might be something to entice him to move (aka crawl), but so far not so much.

Introducing the Motion-activated "ROFLOL Dog" 
(ROFLOL = Rolling on floor laughing out Loud) for those not fluent in computer speak



I will say that after the first time we showed it to him, he seems more at ease around it and likes to play with it and eventually ignores it.  I think it annoys mom and dad more than Sam!



Anyway, the whole thing was and is probably anti-climatic.  It's always funny to see how Sam reacts to things, what toys he loves, doesn't like, etc...

RANDOMNESS

Sam with Mickey and a goofy look.


Cutest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
Sam loves to splash in the bath and he gets excited just hearing the water running in the tub. 


Sam in the jumpy - he just looks so big in it now!


RAISE THE ROOF!!!


Sam with his best friend - easiest way to get a smile and squeal from Sam!


Sam-Candids





One new skill Sam is working on.....


Two videos to come.....

1. Mom officially bought the "Most annoying toy ever" - Sam doesn't know what to think of it.... I'd throw it away if I didn't still want to test the entertainment factor out.

2. Sam has some serious dance moves - they first appeared at Bible study last week and got a few strange looks.  This week at daycare they wrote on his paper how much they enjoyed his dance moves.... we just need to get them on video because it's very cute.  He basically sits down and rocks his pelvis and throws his hands in the air - serious dance skills!

Visit from Grandma VanderStelt

We were so excited for Grandma Vander Stelt to see how much Samuel had grown since she had last seen him in November.  We had a fun 3 day weekend hanging out at home, out to lunch, church, on walks around the lakes, and a short shopping trip.  


Sam is eyeing Grandma's necklace....... SUCCESS!!


Playing with all his toys


Sam was SO enthusiastic to shop with Grandma and mom, but we kept it short!
