Happy 1st Birthday Sam!

Happy happy birthday Sam!  We can't believe it's been a whole year.  It's been the fastest, happiest year and we can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays with you.  

Sam had a great day - he woke up happy and ready to eat his blueberry pancakes.  Lots of playing,  topped off with birthday cake.  So many friends and family called to wish him happy birthday - he loved all the singing.  He's cruising like a champ and walks holding our hands - 6 teeth to report too.  We love our birthday boy! 

Playing on his new slide - head first, of course

Seriously checking out the chocolate

Artwork

I know it's the first of many, but it's still the first!  Here's Sam's artwork at Mothers' Day Out.  And a shot that has Henry Lee's too.  It's so great to see Henry and Sam in the same class and becoming friends.  I hope they'll be lifelong friends like their moms!

11 Months Old

Hard to believe that Sam is 11 months old - almost a year!  He's still on the go and so curious, leaving no stone unturned and no cabinet unexplored.  He loves to eat all kinds of food and enjoys reading books, especially animal books.  He's excited it's football season and enjoys catching some of the games, especially when the Irish are winning.  We can't wait to celebrate his birthday next month!

Sweet Sam

First Day of MDO

Sam went to his first day of Mothers' Day Out this week.  Here is his first day of "school" picture.  His teachers said he had a great time.  He and Henry Lee were the only two who didn't nap.  I don't blame them - it sounds like they were having too much fun playing together!

Favorite Things: Daddy's Eyes

Another favorite - Sam has his Daddy's dark eyes and long eyelashes.  I wish Daddy could give those to me!

10 Months Old

10 months old already?!  Where does the time go?  Sam is a mover and a shaker.  He's crawling all around and likes to walk holding on to things, especially his red wagon.  He loves all kinds of foods, which he enjoys eating with his 4 teeth, and really loves baths and pool time.  Here are a few pics of our big, happy 10 month old!

Hoping for a pony ride

Favorite Things: Curls

We were hoping for a few curls, and here they come!  Just love them.
