Holy Pictures!!!

So Sam is at the lake with Mimi and Pop Pop, so I am MAKING the time to post some LONG over-due pictures!!!

On Sam's real birthday (March 31), we were in VA at a wedding for some dear friends. It was beautiful, and they were so happy!

I am not sure where BJ was here, but Bo was inside doing wedding stuff. Jennifer is on my right... that's Bo's new girlfriend (or old????)... they dated when the were graduating high school and ran into each other in the last few months and are dating again!!!! The other two are Chris and his fiance Amanda - we went to college with Chris, who is also a very close friend!

Keeping Sam happy... not such a hard job!Sam couldn't hold his little head up by the end of the night! Bo's face when Sam plopped his head on his shoulder was SO CUTE!!! It just made his night!!!

Here's Sam's birthday brownie that Mimi and Pop Pop had for him before the wedding... my child is not shy!!!

So Sam had a bunch of birthdays... this was actually Easter too, but he got presents then too!!!

This was so cute, because Sam crawled up in Bo's lap and started "showing" him how to use the computer!!!!

The Easter Bunny brought Sam a swimmie suit! He looked like the Hulk in it! This summer will be so fun watching him swim for the first time!!!My little boy is getting so big!!!

This is him first starting to walk (on my birthday)... Now, he is trotting... running is coming VERY soon!!!!!
I believe that is all for now! Preggy mommy must eat!!!! But at least we are somewhat caught up in the life of Sam!!!!

Little Update

OK, so I haven't been the best blogger lately...

Here's a quick update:

• Sam's ONE... I can't believe it! We had a little party for him this past Saturday - yes, I have pictures, but they're on Mama's camera, and she's in Orlando (not for fun), so I will get them from her when she gets back. Sam got a bunch of wonderful presents, and has been in toy-bliss ever since!!!!!
• Sam is walking like a champ now. I'm giving him a week, and I bet he'll be running!
• I'm still fighting the morning sickness that lasts all day... I THINK it's getting better, then, BAM, it's not. SURELY it will pass soon! Saturday was 12 weeks, so I'm officially in my second trimester... can't believe that either!
• Sam is obsessed with Stormie's water bowl - he wheels his walker over to it (literally, you can envision the wheels off the ground as he careens aroung the corner), tumps it out, tries to eat some food and he's off again before I can even get over there! I have started spatting him for it - I hate the little cry he lets out, but it seems to be working... we shall see!
• If it's not Stormie's food and water, it's the blinds, or the living room. He's just obsessed with things and places that aren't his... go figure!
• He's still such a happy little boy! And, today, he napped for TWO AND A HALF HOURS... and he's sleeping right now!? So far, for another hour!!!!!! What the heck is going on here? Last week, I was praising God for 30 or 45 minutes!!!!!
• He now has a bunch of little teeth - with which he has bitten me with... once! Then he bit himself... didn't do that again!
• Poor Stormie gets chased and harassed all the time... if she's in the right mood, she'll chase him back, though! It's pretty cute!!!

That's all I can think of right now... BJ and I are doing good - hanging in there! Bless his heart - he comes home from a hard day's work to a wife who can't get off the couch and a one-year-old that won't stop; he fixes dinner, plays with Sam, takes care of me, puts Sam to bed, and then puts me to bed! I know he's exhausted - but he's the best husband in the world! I am ready for this burst of energy thing to kick in... I don't really remember that when I was pregnant with Sam... =)

Pictures to come...

P.O.D.

Path Of Destruction...

That is Sam's new nickname - given by Mimi and Pop Pop!!! And it's so true. Wherever he goes, he leaves a wake of, well, destruction behind him!!!! Toy boxes unloaded, Stormie's toys unloaded... basically anything he can get his little hands on!!!!

Have I mentioned that he's walking? He took his first steps a couple of weeks ago (on my birthday!), and he is getting more and more stable and confident everyday!

I am doing better. Some days are worse than others. I just got Sam down for a nap, so I am about to eat and go take a nap too!

Here are a few pictures - I got SOME downloaded from the camera... there's still more!!!

Here's mommy's little helper - he found his stash of "un-used" toys... well, that is no longer the case!!!

This is Sam just getting started!!!!Have I mentioned that he's a climber??? He can push his toy boxes around and use them to climb onto the couch and various other objects!!!! This time, he is helping Mommy unload the dish washer!!!

Sam LOVES balloons! So, everytime we go to Mimi and Pop Pop's, he always has balloons! He got some for his birthday, so everytime we come downstairs in the morning, he says "Boon" and points! It's so cute!!!!And he drives! I think after this driving experience, Daddy's truck was in Auto 4WD for about 200 miles - he was wondering why he was getting worse gas mileage!!!! Sam likes to push buttons while he drives too!!!!
