Oatmeal

Usually while I am making myself some breakfast I put Sam in his walker and let him explore. His latest obsession is the pantry. So many fun things to pull out and throw on the floor. I thought I had everything that couldn't be "destroyed" put up higher, but apparently I was wrong. Sam has gotten pretty good at opening containers with his teeth...as you can see in the pic below...he whipped the top of this off pretty darn fast! These are the highlights of my days!

Coaster Trouble

My mom has these coasters on the coffee table downstairs and for some reason Sam just can't take his eyes, hands, or mouth off of them. He sure is one determined fella when he has his mind on something. Anyway, when daddy was "watching" him the other night I came home to a little boy with red hands and a red face.
Needless to say, the coasters are gone! Oh well, it makes for a cute pic!

My Little Contortionist

Yep, he's asleep! We are working on sleeping without being held now...this can lead to moments of crying and this is what happens when sitting up crying finally wears him out! He sure is flexible! I really can't imagine him being comfortable, but you know what they say..."Never wake a sleeping baby!"

Big Cedar

Big Cedar was beautiful this time of year and Sam loved the pool. We can't wait to go back this summer so he can enjoy some time in the sun!

Christmas

Sam loved his presents from Santa...of course he REALLY loved the wrapping paper and boxes almost as much as the toys inside!
We are so thankful for our precious Samuel this year on his first Christmas and are looking forward to so many more with this little guy!




I'd smile too if my uncle was making this face...

Updates...finally

Due to the stress and busyness of our current house situation I apologize for not keeping updated blogs. I really am going to try and do better, but we have just been so darn busy these days!
Lots of fun things have happened in the past month. We started to crawl, went on our first vacation, and celebrated our first Christmas. Here are some precious pics of our handsome little man.
