First day of school!

When I dropped him off:

When I picked him up:

SIDE NOTE: He didn't want to leave :)

First haircut!

It started with explaining the process rationally...

then bartering...

then begging...

then he climbed....

then holding him myself....

then he got his first ice pop (grape...unfortunately not pictured)...

then I WON! Haircut Success!

Sam's first Frosty

And it would only come from Grandma...

Full contact playdate!

His wrestling buddy is Elsa, my dear friend Ellen's daughter...

Crusing with my big boy fruit snack!

A healthy snack turned into a Jedi Mommy move when I discovered pouches with vegetable blends...so I can sneak yummy SUPER healthy veggies like spinach and broccoli!

Phones, buhbyes, and babbles

Playtime with Winston

Sam answers the phone...

or the remote. Whatever. Same thing.

Funny hunny Lis

Sidenote: Lis or 'Wiss' was one of Sam's first words. Even before Mamamamama. I love 'Wiss', but COME ON!

Rose colored glasses

Christmas Morning! Part 3

SO upset that Winston gets presents too! Lookie at the temper on this one! (notice stomping feet)

Christmas Morning! Part 2

Christmas Morning! Part 1

Christmas! Winston opens a present!

And this pretty much sums up the night. Sam was SO upset that Winston opened a present - I'm not sure if Sam thought Winston was opening one of His gifts, or if Winston was killing whatever was in the box...but he was NOT happy! After this, we read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, and put the sad and cranky baby to sleep. Then.....SANTA came!

Christmas! Afraid of the talking truck :(

This was his first gift he opened on Christmas Eve. Needless to say, the night didn't go as Mommy had planned. I certainly didn't expect that he'd be afraid of what I was sure would be one of his favorite toys!

Floor-E-Oos

Floor-E-Oos = What you call Cherrios that are on the floor

Dinner time flirting and babbling

Sam's first apple

Sir Sammy Gigglepants

Who knew Mommy was so funny?

I want this one. No wait. This one. No. Wait.
