Catch Up

Wow! I'm a little behind. To start with Halloween. We went to Uncle Brian's house and went trick-or-treating with the Cousins. Mostly Noah and Ava as Alex and Sophia are older and we couldn't keep up.  We had a blast. Sam was Sulley from Monsters Inc and surprisingly he kept the costume on and it was Nick and I who finally took it off of him. It was Soooooo hot on Halloween. Arizona! We were dying. I had a cape and witch hat on and I had to take those off as I was too hot. So Sam ended the night slightly naked. :)

Death, Zombie Soccer player, Sulley, LadyBug and Cowboy!

So now lets skip to November. What a crazy month that flew by.
Sam is now going up and down the slide all by himself. Big boy and he loves it. We take him to the park and he doesn't want to come home. Not even with the promise of food.
I finally had to pull out pants and long sleeve shirts for him. But even that wasn't until the end of the month and sometimes he can still wear a short sleeve shirt. The cold is sure taking its time to get here.
Chil-fest was a very fun very successful night. Nick's Chili came in second place. Whoo Hoo.  Sam enjoyed playing in the beer cooler and would even bring beer to people when asked. So the torch has been passed. I was a Beer girl as a kid and so will my child apparently. :)
My sister Sara competed in a Cross-fit competition and Holy Hell. I never realized she was so Bad Ass! She came in second place in her weight class. Dam!

Doing squats!



Thanksgiving went by in a blur! Always a great time. We had grandparent's and Great Grandparents, and Great Uncles, and Great Great Cousins. Yikes! Also a Great Cousin with her new family. And of course a ton of Aunts, Uncles and Cousin's.

 We deep fried the turkeys as now is our tradition and they are always yummy! I tried to get a good photo of my kid with his cousins but they were just not having it. Sam has so much fun playing with his cousins and they enjoy playing with him or chasing him or laughing at him. I'm so happy he gets to grow up with them.

 

 



There is so much that you are doing on a daily basis I can't keep up. You are now saying Banana instead of Bananie and are slowly trying to say Yes, but it's more like Ya. That's a start, you say NO plenty. You are very good at your Thank You! We are working on locating body parts, so far you have belly button down and ears, except I think you think those are your eyes. LOL
You are a very good jumper and you get a good half a foot off the ground when you do it.

Your a charmer...Everyone loves you. The ladies fall at your feet. We didn't see much of you during Chili-fest. Either Jenn ( Aunt Jacy's friend) or Lucy ( Uncle Brian's friend) were holding you and you just loved it. Not to mention you are so entertaining. Everyone just eats it up and you are such a Ham. You love to have an audience and if you do something to make someone laugh you will keep it up. We hear a lot of Where's Sam? When we first walk through the door.

And singing oh dear you love to sing. Especially to frozen. Oh it's your favorite and your pretty good at it and dancing. You love Taylor Swifts' Shake it off"  We have dance parties with you. Your such a happy baby, but don't worry you have your breakdowns, and we are trying to get rid of the paci. But you are not so happy to let it go.
