11 months today

Sam is closing in on the big 1 year bash. It is amazing how fast these past 11 months have gone and how much Sam has grown (and Mom and Dad have grown too). Needless to say, they have been wonderful and we are so excited to continue this journey.

One thing that has changed over the last month or so has been the lack of pictures and/or videos of Sammy. I think part of the reason is because he is so busy and we are so busy keeping up with him that we don't find the time. I also think Mom and Dad are much more exhausted these days and don't have the energy or wherewithal to remember to take a picture now and again. We did break out the video camera briefly tonight, though, as Sammy was having fun running around the house. Now mind you, he was holding on to our hands, but he is almost ready to walk unaided.

Other changes in the past month with Sammy - he has a lopsided grin (2 teeth completely out on his right side on top, 2 teeth not quite out on the left), he has been weened from the breast and is drinking exclusively from a sippy cup, he is sleeping through the night (at least the last few nights), he is generally happy as a clam and is learning new things every day (like "throw" and "put in").

Mom and Dad can't wait for his first birthday and X-mas. This is a special year for all of us and we are going to enjoy it.
