Poor little Sam and Santa

We went a few weeks back to Von Maur for Sam to meet Santa. It didn't go so well... I'll let the photo's do the talking for me!

3/4's of a year!

Nine months, no way! I can’t believe it, I really can’t. Especially when we wnet to the Dr.’s and he said Sam could eat table food. And Sam is cruising around the coffee table and couch. He stood the other day! I am in denial. Sam, listen to Mommy and stop growing!



Sam's new highchair! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!



Stats:

Height:

27 1/2 inches

Weight:

20 lbs 12.5 oz

Likes:

Cruising around as fast as he can go.

Jumping

Crawling as fast as he can go

Being chased by Momma, this gets the best giggles out of him!

Pulling up on Momma and Dadda

Wanting to be held and then immediately put back down in the same second

Water! The bathtub, glass of water, everything to do with water. He gets this from his dad. The Connealy’s are excellent swimmers and my side can barely stay a float to save their lives. Sam has figured out how to pull the water cooler and just plays and plays in it!



Sam meeting Auntie Katie 

Dislikes:

Getting dressed, getting his diaper changed, anything  where he has to sit still.

Strangers, he’s really gotten stranger anxiety. This hard because he clings to me. I love the extra snuggles from this usually not cuddly kid.

Sam, you are quite the character and even though it doesn’t seem possible, Daddy and I love you more each day!

Go Big Red!

Eight months, no way!

I’m only a month late right?

Sam is really 9 months but I am going to try my best to think back to a month ago.

My sweet boy is crawling everywhere! And boy is he quick! He is pulling up on everything. Sam love to get into things and you can always tell that he’s thinking and trying to figure everything out.  We got our first real cold this month so we had to go see Dr. Brooks and had to miss out on the family Thanksgiving. Sam also got his first two teeth, the first a day before his 8 month birthday!

His Stats:

Weight: just shy of 20 pounds!!!!

Height: not sure, he’s too squirmy to measure

Likes:

To Move! I feel like I say this every month, but that is Sam! Squirmy Sam for sure!

Loves to play with his stacking cups

Wants the remotes or our phones

The dishwasher! As soon as he hears me open it, he is climbing in a flash!

Climbing into the laundry basket, does this mean he is going to be a good helper? I hope so!

Dislikes:

Sitting still

Sleeping, I blame teeth. We had what felt like a month of no sleep or very little, with Vince working nights this was a disasterous combination, to say it mildly.

Having his diaper changed

Love you little man!
