Happy Birthday Sam

Today is Sam's 1st Birthday! What a GREAT and SPECIAL day for us! We love our Sam and could not be any prouder!

Here are 12 things about Sam: (He hasn't had his 1 year check up yet so I will share those stats later.)

1. He is still known as "Sam I Am" or "Sam Man".

2. He really likes to play with his big Tonka truck or fire truck because he can walk with them.

3. He also really likes to play with cars. He will even make the "vroom" sound when he is pushing one around. He also really likes to play with anything he can pull out of our kitchen cabinets!! :)

4. He is SO CLOSE to walking. He took a little step for me the other night. I was happy to at least say I saw a first step. He is going to take off any day now!

5. His favorite foods are cheese and fruit. He is a pretty good eater. He did not like his #1 pancake this morning though! Oh well! At least we got a cute picture! :)

6. He really likes music. He has a cute little dance he will do when he hears a rhythm of any kind.

7. He is good sleeper. He is in bed by 7:30 pm and will sleep until 6:30 am. He still takes 2 naps and sleeps with a burp cloth and his pacifier. Yes, we will start working on NO pacifier in the next month or so.

8. He is drinking out of a sippy cup now...no more bottles!!!

9. He really enjoys being outside and he has just started to enjoy the swing. He used to not like that at all.

10. He is a Logan and Addie follower. If they are making noise, he is making noise with them.

11. He is a snuggly baby boy. When he wakes up in the morning, he will lay his head on my shoulder. When I get home from school, he will lay his head on my shoulder. When I rock him at night, he lays his head on my shoulder. He will crawl into our laps and lay his head down on us. He is just sweet, sweet, and sweet!
12. Sam LOVES his daddy in the sweetest way. They have their own little "language" of sorts. David makes a certain beat (it's funny) but Sam automatically starts moving to his beat. He won't do it for me. David and Sam have a very sweet bond. I do think it is very special for them to be home together!

**Logan helped me come up with these 12 things.

We are looking forward to another year of fun with our Baby Sam! Happy 1st Birthday to SAM!

Come back soon for pictures from his birthday celebration. We are off to baseball and the LES Bear Bolt!
