First bike ride

Sam's main birthday present was his bike (blue of course). After he had opened his presents, blew out his candles and ate cake we took him for a tour of the village. Safety conscious like his father, he wouldn't get on his bike without putting on his helmet. Getting Sam to push his pedals full circle is going to take a few goes - he prefers to be pushed!

Happy 3rd Birthday Sam!

Happy Birthday to Sam - 3 today!

This is Sam pleading to use the camera. I think he is going to be either a photographer, a waiter - because he likes to clear away our plates after a meal or a doctor/nurse - as he's always asking how our ailments are and keeps us updated on his cuts, scratches and bruises. The only cure he swears by is a kiss.
Also this week, Bella has started to sit on her own - for 3 minutes so far and she can roll over by grabbing a leg and using it as a lever.
