Happy Birthday Samuel!

Wow! We can hardly believe it has already been a full year. Today Samuel officially turns 1!

He decided to sleep in a bit on his birthday and woke up to mommy and daddy singing Happy Birthday! We decided to take him out for breakfast at the Sugar Shack. He ate a pancake, some eggs and a little bit of hashbrowns. We then went to Target to find him a pair of tennis shoes he can wear when playing outside. We also looked at lots of Elmo toys and some Duplo Quatro blocks. After his party this weekend he can go and pick out some extra toys! After Target Samuel decided it was time for a nap and is currently sound asleep upstairs. Once he wakes up the fun can continue!

As for stats, we will have to weigh and measure Samuel when he wakes up. We will let everyone know where he weighs in at!
Samuel completes his first year with a ton of milestones. He is walking like a pro now, even running at times! He has eight teeth and knows how to use them well. He eats pretty much anything he wants now. He has refused baby food for a week or so now, I guess he doesn't want to be referred to as a baby anymore. He does love pasta and cheese, but is venturing out and willing to try more foods now. His sign language has started to really grow. Currently he knows more, please, eat, and milk. He is so cute to watch when he really wants something. He will go through his repertoire of signs until he figures out the right one and you give him what he wants! He has also picked up on the beauty of cell phones and will hold multiple toys up to his ear and walk around the house pretending to talk to someone! Very cute! I am sure there are many more I am forgetting to share, he is an amazing little boy.

Well, I better get back to the birthday boy! Celebrate with us today...eat some cake (at least I am giving you an excuse)!
