Meet Dr. Sam

Meet Dr. Sam Gilbert. Future Surgery Pharmacist.

We made him a monkey at Build a Bear and found this outfit. Looks like he is taking a nap between cases.

This is Dr. Sam with his new best friend, who is acctually a tad bit taller than him, Dr. Stitch.

Sam's first trip to Jackson

Pop Pop and Momma Nise were so excited about Sam coming to visit. Pop Pop bought a brand new grill and everything. We had fun showing Sam around and then saying hey to the church family there in Jackson.

It was great to see the Great Grandparents spending time with little Sam...well he is not so little any more. He is 6 weeks old and weighs about 7.5 lbs. He is packing it on. We love how he is growing.
Nap time in Jackson.
I was showing Sam that at the White house in Jackson there is always food on its way...where is it?
There's the food. Sam enjoyed the food and time in Jackson.

Church and Ball

Look at those bright smiling faces.


Look how excited Sam is to go out and see, for the first time, his dad pitch in a softball game. We won by the way.

Grandparents and SAM

We want to thank Sam's grandparents for all they have done for him and us.

We enjoy seeing them enjoy spending time with him.

Thanks again ya'll.

Sam's First Month

Wow! This month flew by. Not only did Sam decide to come early, his cousin Rylan was born a couple of weeks early in Erie, PA. They have already seen each other via web cam but we can't wait to meet Rylan in person. Rylan weighed 6 lbs and 7 oz. Look out...Sam is going to catch up to you soon.

Sam is now a month old and is home and doing well. He was right at 4 lbs when he came home and is now well over 6 lbs. That is what happens when all you do is eat, sleep and poop. He is doing really well. Now I know these pictures can't show the full extent of his growth this month but here is one picture of the night when Sam came home...


And here is one today after a month...


He actually does fill it out a little better. He is getting a rather large tummy and chubby cheeks. He is not only over 6 lbs. but he has grown an inch this month too.


Sam loves looking around and I think he has learned to speak Pooh...

Our little cowboy...
We continue to thank you for all the thoughts, prayers and gifts. We are trying to get Sam into all the outfits that we have been given before he grows out of them. He is doing great and we will continue to post pictures.

Time with the Whole Gilbert Family

Sam got to meet the Gilbert Family from Virginia over the weekend of July 6th. They (Alan, Penny and Brennen along with Great Grandpa Gilbert) came and we went to Corky's for Sam's first outing.

Great Grandpa Gilbert couldn't take his eyes off of Sam. They really bonded in the time they had together.

A couple of Sam's Firsts

Sam has been busy since coming home on June 25th.

After Sam's first bath he had to show his allegiance to the VOLS

He spent some time hibernating


Enjoying his first nap in the crib that Grampa Dave built

On July 4th Sam showed every one he was "BORN IN THE USA"

He had another photo shoot and this time it was with "Lamby"

The day after Sam came home he had to go back to the doctor for his first checkup.

Sam enjoyed spending time with two of his Great grandparents who came to see him from Jackson, TN. I think they enjoyed it too.
