Our little guy is 1

Where the heck did this year go? Our little Sammy is already one! I cannot believe all the changes that have happened in one year. He has brought us so much love, laughter and joy and we are excited for another great year.

Sammy weighed 25.12 at his 1 year check-up and is 31 inches long. Apparently he is only in the 75% for weight and 90% for height. He is crawling like a little monkey and took 4 steps last week. We'll see how motivated he is to start walking on his own. I don't know about any other mothers, but I have the hardest time letting go of the baby stage. I cannot give up the infant car carrier and bottle. Pretty bad when Sam is showing me that he's ready before I actually start making changes. His feet are hanging 6 inches out of the car seat and he takes squigs of his bottle now.

Anyways - to give you an update, we have a lot of changes coming our way. Matt was accepted into the Respiratory Therapy Program through Weber and IHC in January. He is going to be extremely busy for 8 months. So if we fall off the earth for that time, you will understand why.

Here's our Sammy!











Birthday Party...
LOVIN' the cake!

What a cutie. I totally understand what you mean about letting go of each stage, it's so hard to watch them grow,but it's also the funnest and most rewarding thing too. Tell your husband congrats on school and also good luck. Hope all is well.

Wow! One? That did fly! I wish I could tell you time slows down but my baby is a senior this year and worried about ACT's and deciding on what college to attend. I just want to go back to watching Barney and eating fruit snacks!
