Thanksgiving, A Baptism and DADA!!!!

Time to catch up a little, I've been very behind on this and SO much has happened since Halloween.

Sam has started crawling and he can move. He does an army crawl and before you know it he is in the kitchen banging the cabinets. Another favorite of his, opening and closing cabinets, and doors.
He trapped Mommy in the kitchen pantry one day, I didn't realize he could close doors and then BAM the door was closed.

He is now sitting up on his own and can pull himself up on to things. Although this is a little bit harder in our house as he is usually in footie pajamas and we have laminate wood floors so he slips and slides a lot.

We went to ZOO LIGHTS, it was a lot of fun and you loved looking at all the lights. You managed to stay awake most of the night.

We celebrated your first Thanksgiving and you slept through a lot of it, but you did wake up just as Mommy and Daddy were starting to eat dinner. Thanks Sam!
Happy Thanksgiving


You were Baptized on November 24, 2013. Aunt Sara and Uncle Mike are your godparents. We were able to celebrate with a lot of family. All the grandparents came out and a lot of Aunts and Uncles and Great Aunts and Uncles. Very special day.

Your first words have been spoken and sadly it was not Mama :(  But....you did make your father very happy but saying DADA. He even got it on video which Mama was very happy to be able to see since it took you forever to say it to me.

You are waving HI and it is sooo stinking cute. We were at the mall today finishing up Christmas shopping and we were watching the kids playing on the toys and you were waving at them and were so Happy to do it.

Your 9 month Doctor visit has you weighing at 19 lbs 7 oz and 27 3/4 inches. You are such a growing boy.
We also found out that you have 4 teeth coming in. Very much looking forward to the next few weeks.

We started giving you puffs, which you love and you are even starting to get most into your mouth. Mama fed you some scrambled eggs yesterday and you enjoyed those as much too.

We threw a Baby Shower for the Izzo's. It was a lot of fun, a lot of people showed up and there were a lot of little kids running around. Most were toddler age, but there was one little boy that was your age and was crawling around on the floor with you. When you two saw each other you just crawled into each other and squared off for a minute and then went on your way.
We are anxiously waiting to find out if the Izzo's are having a boy or a girl. We still have a little bit of time left until we find out. Mommy is hoping for a little boy for you to play with.

We just went and saw your Cousin Ava sing at her school. It was So cute. The kids sang 10 or so Christmas songs with dance moves. Ava was front and center and at times singing the loudest and I think she really liked the Little Drummer Boy, or at least I loved watching her do it because her arms were swinging pretty high.

Here you are playing around with a Santa Hat. Mommy's favorite.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
