Vince's Graduation!

I know this is a little late.....

Vince finally graduates! Yeah after 3 years of hard work, we got to celebrate. Vince's parents and my parents along with my brother got to come up to enjoy the day. We ate at M and S grill. Afterwards, we all got to hear little Sammy's giggles. It was truly one of the best days!

A nursing tradition is if there is a family member that is a nurse, then they give them their pin.

**** Update, Vince passed his boards!! Now he truly is done*****

Happy Birthday Kevin Arnhold!

Happy Birthday dear brother and uncle! I am so lucky to be your big sister. Here's to another wonderful year, love you!

5 months... give or take a week

Little Man is five months old! I know this is such a cliche... but time is really flying! I just can't believe that a year ago, Vince and I had just found out that we were going to be parents. It is amazing and wonderful how our life has changed!

Sam's Stats:

Well, since there was not doctor's appointment this month, so we are going by my rough measurements. Weighing Sam on our scale, he's a whopping 18 lbs!?!?! My little boy is not so little. Every where we go, we hear, "Look at those cheeks" or "Look at his thighs" and yes he does sometimes get stuck in his bumbo chair! He is almost 27 inches long. I can't wait to see how big he is at his six month appointment later this month.

Likes:
-Eating (hello, look at him!)
-loves to play, his favorite toys are his stacking cups (thanks Catherine) and Mortie the Moose


-Stand! he has to stand or sit up. we are getting better at sitting up

-any kind of moving, this child is nicknamed Squirmy Sammy. We rolled over from back to front the other day for the first time, so all that squirming is getting him somewhere!
-water bottles and cups, he wants to drink out of them all the time! So I got him a sippy cup thinking he'd love it. Nope, not interested at all!
-loves to giggle and smile, Sam is a happy boy!
Sam and Daddy

-Dislikes:
this is a hard one, Sam is such a good baby. I am truly getting spoiled. The first few weeks of work were rough sleep wise but (knock on wood) we are on a good routine. My major dislike is not getting to be with Sam all the time. Sam doesn't seem to mind at all. He loves his days with daddy and is so happy to see Missy, Jay and Katie!

I am loving every minute of being a mom to my sweet little Sam!
