Happy Birthday Sammy!!

Sammy turned 1 on 10/17. We had a big weekend....Erick and Samantha came down from Chicago and Mom and Dad came from Virginia. It was Sam's and Erick's first meeting.... Samantha is Erick's girlfriend, but Sam sure took a liking to her and so did we!


Grand-daddy showing Sam how to work his new toy....

We had Sam's party on Sunday...he woke up from his nap to a house full of people...he was just a little bashful...at first..


So we broke out the gifts......



Sammy is not walking yet...but he was standing for long periods of time while playing with his new toys....it won't be long...


Then comes cake.....as his afternoon snack...



We didn't have a party hat for him...but I like the Mickey ears much better!





It was a great weekend! I loved that my family came...I just wish I had taken more pictures! My folks took us out for Thai food on Saturday...Sammy's first taste of Thai...I brought my camera...but it never left my purse....I really need to do better! He liked the chicken from my Pad Thai...but that ws about it. We'll have to work on that!

It won't be long....

until this little guy starts walking....



Sam has always seemed to be curious about how things are made...he has always studied his toys and objects in a way that I have never seen any of kid do. Here he is checking out his walking Lion...he does this everytime he plays with it...it is almost as if he is working on it.


When I bring the camera out now...he just wants it...he doesn't care about anything else at that point....
