Sam in the great outdoors

| May 25, 2010

I have always enjoyed hiking and being in the outdoors. I got that from my father for sure. I want to instill the same love for the outdoors in little Sam so am starting her out really early! As long as the temperature is between 50 and 80 degrees and it is not raining, I take her for a 2 mile walk each night in her Bob stroller:

She finds it really comfortable as you can see and normally ends up like this by the time I get a few blocks away from home:

She really seems to like being outside after the long crazy winter. I want to take her out hiking but even with the off-road capable Bob, it is still not suitable for hiking in a lot of our favorite spots. Pennsylvania has some beautiful places to hike but most of them are hilly and rocky. So, we are going to try this out:

We tried her in it today and she seemed really happy. We walked about a mile around the neighborhood and Pam said she was smiling and looking all around the whole way. I think this weekend we are going to take her out somewhere for a longer hike. Here’s one more photo, check out cute little leg sticking out:

You know we are going to have to try putting Zephyr in this thing one of these days 🙂

Look out for that lip!

It’s funny, the most emotive part of Sam’s face is her bottom lip. She makes all kinds of funny faces with it. You can always tell when she is about to cry because she sticks that lip way out there. It’s tough to photograph because the moment is so fleeting but I got lucky the other day:

She is just so cute. She makes 100 different faces and we love every one of them!
