Samuel's Birthday Party

The theme for Samuel's party was Barnyard so I made Piggy cupcakes - which Sam obviously enjoyed. His birthday was Friday but we had his party Saturday. Our families, our neighbors and Jenny & Mattie came to help us celebrate. Mattie is such a sweetie and it was nice having a baby around that is close to Sam's age. He got lots of books, snacks, money and a stuffed cow and he's enjoyed each and every present! Some of the pictures are a little blurry but Sammy's cuteness still shines though! The last two pics are of him in the bath - it took me forever to get all that cupcake off of him!! Enjoy!

Samuel is 1!!!

Boy time sure does fly by! It seems like just yesterday Samuel was born! We've spent the last year marveling at how fast he's grown and celebrating all of his achievements. He's learned to smile, coo, sit by himself, talk, crawl, walk and wave all before his first birthday.

Here are a few of the words that Sammy can say:
Mama
Dada
Nana (for Hannah)
Papa
Nanny
MayDay & kitty
duck & quack
cow & moo
uh-oh
boon (for balloon)
ball
hot

He's been walking for several days now. He will still crawl if it's a long distance but he's getting braver every day. He can also stand up without pulling up on anything. He's also very close to being completely potty trained. He will make the sign for potty when he needs to go or he will crawl towards the bathroom if you ask him if he needs to potty. What a big boy!!

Here a some pictures of past & present:

There were so many pictures that I wanted to put on here but I had to settle for a few of my favorites!
