Mother's Day in Ohio

So I know it has been almost 4 months since I have updated and I am sorry (Grandma Rayanne). I am going to try and get caught up on all we did this summer.

Happy Mother's Day Mommy

Adam, Sam, Grandma, and Great Grandma

Sam has a surprise for Uncle Andrew

The Curls are GONE!

I finally talked Adam into letting me get Sam's hair cut. I am sad that the curls are gone (yes we did save a few for the baby book), but he is 14 months old and it was time. He did great! Sam sat all by himself in the chair and did not make a peep. Not even when she used the razor at the end. I think he looks like a little man. And I will never have to hear what a cute girl we have. We ran a bunch a errands after we got it cut and I got just as many comments on how cute my little man was, we just don't get how cute the curls are anymore. My little boy is growing up.

Bad Hair Day

This is why I want to cut Sam's hair.

But a little water and gel goes a long way.

Sam has not been wanting to eat foods that he normally loves. I finally figured out why. He wants to feed himself. So we have had a lot of messes like this lately.

Sam love fruit especially bananas!

Chew! Chew!

The lady at the caf gave Sam this apple when we left. I did not think he would eat it like that, but he made a pretty good dent in it by the time we got home.

I love that smile!!!

Boys will be Boys

This is what Sam's beautiful little hands and face looked like after a long day out at a baseball game. He had a blast walking around and climbing the stairs to go see his daddy in the press box.

Sam had a great time talking a walk in the new wagon that his Boppa got and fixed up for him.

Sam decided he was not going to take a nap on this particular day, but his body had other plans. Don't worry I have been just putting him in is crib at 11 and 3 for his daily naps and I do not get him out for an hour. So now he has no choice but to take a nap.

Easter and a Special Anouncement

For Easter this year we got up and went to our wonderful little church and enjoyed another great sermon from our pastor Elliot. I love hearing the story of how our Savior rose from the dead after three day in a tomb just for me. I still have a hard time with that fact, that Jesus died just for me. I can't wait to really share that with me son. That a man who lived long, long ago died just for him and has an amazing plan for Samson Paul's life.

We then headed to Rockford to visit Grandma and Grandpa Truesdale. Mom, Dad, and Tori were there too. It was fun for Sam to open his Easter baskets. He loved to shake the eggs filled with money. He especially like the dollar Aunt Tori snuck into the soccer egg. But I would have to say that the best part of the day was the present we gave Sam. Read below to find out what is was.

Mom what does the shirt say?

Yes, Mom it is true...

Sam is going to be a big brother!

Yes I am pregnant! We are expecting baby number two in early November. My due date is November 5th. We are very excited. No we are not planning on finding out what the baby is or the names we are considering. It is all going to be a surprise! I figure with Sam nother was a surprise, I was even induced so with this one everythig will be a surprise.

Sam's 1st Birthday Party

Making cards to thank the people for coming to my party

Finger painting the decorations for my party

The cupcakes and cake Mommy and Aunt Tori work so hard on.

Opening presents is so much fun!

Mommy and Daddy had to help me blow out the candle

That cake sure was good!

My Best Buddy Silas

I had to take his hat off.

Then he took mine off

I love playing with basketballs

Balloons!

Aren't I cute!

Sam is 10 months old

My baby is 10 months old! It has gone so fast. He is such a joy. I love just watching him play and discover new things about his world. Here are a few of Sam's favorite things.

Sam loves to stand and is getting braver at taking steps inbetween things.

He now has four teeth. Two on bottom and four on top.

Some of Sam's first steps (Yes he is starting to walk)

He LOVES to eat, especially when he gets to do it himself.

Sam has learned to say "please" when he wants something especially food. It has made life a lot less whiny.

Sam has figured out he can crawl under things.

He loves remotes and cell phones

Grandpa curl

He is a sweaty boy when he falls asleep in his car seat.

Sam likes to figure out how he can fit things into other things.
