Our sweet Sammy-boy (or Sam-Sam, or Sam-Bam, or Samster) turned ONE on August 26th! He is such a joy to all of us! He is a fun-loving, spunky little guy who is always on the move in some form or fashion. When music plays, he starts dancing; when he sees his chance to get up the stairs or out an open door or play in a toilet, he crawls like mad in that direction (until he is caught, of course); when his brother is laying on the ground, Sammy is climbing on top of him. Sammy wants to be where the action is and where the people are, waving to and charming anyone who passes by. He is a smiley, chatty, happy (and sometimes fiesty) baby boy and we are so thankful that he is in our lives! Here are some birthday pics along with some others of our cute boy (and his family)!
I love this picture of Sammy's fun personality and adorable smile. :)
All of us at Rocky Mountain National Park on a camping trip this summer.
Sammy had 2 little celebrations...one with friends and one with family. In this one, he is wearing the same birthday hat that John wore on his first birthday.
Yep, a mess. But, hardly a lick got in his mouth.
Celebrating with his birthday buddy, Isaiah, and big brother, John.
What mud?
Hummmm...maybe they won't notice how dirty I am?
Sammy thinks his big brother is the best!
The boys loved their visit from Bukka...
...and Grammy (who watched the boys while Ben and I went backpacking - thanks Mom and Dad)! :)
Are you looking for me??
Where are we off to next, mom?
Hello world!
What fun it is to play at the creek!
The big 1 year old.
Sammy is quickly becoming a mobile, fun, playful, spirited little guy! He is almost crawling, getting one of his top teeth in, and finally sleeping through the night!
