Friends, Family and a 2nd Tooth

10 months, 6 days old. The past few weeks have been a lot of fun as Sam has been able to spend some time with some of his friends as you can see below. He also now has a 2nd tooth which came in right beside the 1st tooth. He absolutely loves to be outside and in the water. He's making new noises and jibber-jabbering even more.

I like making new faces. It cracks Mommy and Daddy up.

I love my books.

My next door neighbor Dillon came over and we played.

I still like the basketball goal.

I made a new friend. Her name is Carmen.

I like to stand at the ottoman on my own.

My butt wipes are fascinating.

My pool is great. My parents can hardly keep me out of it.

Every night I go to bed with a sock in my hand for security. When they moved my crib they discovered my stash of socks.

Here I am with my stash of socks. This is heaven.

I am getting pretty good at drinking and feeding myself.

Grandma came down to watch me today and helped me get in my pool!

I am a very good eater.

My buddy Bizzle and I have a lot of fun.

A Fun Little Boy

9 months, 22 days. A day with Sam is never dull. He continues to love to "walk" and is screeching and "talking" more. We visited with family last weekend and also bought him a new table and basketball hoop. He's a fun little guy and keeps us laughing.

I have a lot of fun toys!

Do you guys like my dinosaur feet? I do!

I tried out my swing for old time's sake - I barely fit.

I still love the big pool at granddads.

I liked this apple.

My new table is great! I can stand and play!

Slam dunk!

I'm ready to play!

I'm learning to feed myself with the spoon - with limited success.

I fell and scraped my nose this week. But I'm okay!

Sammie Goes to the Park and Hiking

We took advantage of the excellent weather the past few days and decided to get Sam out and about. We went to the park where Sam loved the swing and the slide. A few days later we went to a nature preserve and put Sam on our back to give him a look at the scenery.

I absolutely love to walk. I can't wait till I can do it on my own!

The swing was great!

We went down the slide too.

Hiking is fun - especially when you have a chauffeur!

We're ready to tackle the trails.

We made it to the lookout - but I was more interested in chewing on my pack's straps.

Sammie's First Tooth!

9 months, 3 days old. Sammie now has his first tooth on the bottom in the front! It came through about a week ago and is slowly becoming more visable. Surprisingly he hasn't seemed fussy with his new tooth. He continues to like to "walk" around the house. He went to his 9 month check-up at his pediatrician and he is 95th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. Today we went and visited 2 of the new babies in the family --- cousin Houston and cousin Micah (who was born just 3 days ago).

I have my first tooth!

Mom and Dad bought me my first car. I am still getting the hang of it.

Dad and I like to play outside.

I tried out my rocking horse.

I love to "walk". I'll do it all day as long as someone helps me.

Bizzle and I are still friends although I am starting to get a little rough.

My mom is fun!

I'm trying out all kinds of new and exciting foods these days.

I went to Ty's 1 year old birthday party.

Mom got me a new ball and it made my day.

All the grandbabies were together for the first time - Houston, me and Micah.
