I can't prove it, but...

Sam took his first steps during the Super Bowl. It was a good day: the hated Patriots lost and Sam started walking. Hard to say which development our household enjoyed more. Okay, it's easy to say which our household enjoyed more, but Sam's walking was still a really big deal. At any rate, we've been waiting to post this announcement ever since. Surely, we would be able to videotape our son walking soon enough, we thought. There are two things working against us on this front. First off, Sam gets really excited whenever the video camera comes out, meaning he stops whatever he's doing and starts frantically attempting to touch the shiny electronic device. Secondly, while Sam is capable of walking, it's really not his preference at this point. His preference is for things that are easier, quicker and sweeter. Which explains his penchant for walking...and eating lots of pineapple. So while we have no video evidence, please believe us: Our son can walk. And the Patriots really did lose. Both seem too good to be true, I know.
