Happy Birthday to ME

And here I am at my last party of the year...I'm a big boy--with a hat and all! I had about 25 of my little kiddo friends with me & we partied hard for an hour or so...too bad it was POURING rain outside...we wanted to own that zoo...maybe next year!

Sorry Folks, Lot's full...

This is the scene at my birthday party at the zoo. We had a virtual LOT of strollers parked inside. There were more strollers there for my party than you'd find at the mall during Christmas...phew! Glad we captured this pic.

Birthday Starbucks

Daddy took me to Starbucks for my Birthday breakfast. I ate a banana & a marionberry muffin. The barista sang to me...and I sported a really cool hat.

Happy Birthday to me

So here it is...the picture you've all been waiting for...but none of you expected the train cake mommy & daddy created for me. Even I didn't know what they were up to. Daddy won the 2nd grade cake walk cake by doing his train cake...so with that, we decided to recreate it. Daddy said he didn't remember it being so much work & so complicated...um, that was like 30 years ago, dad; how do you remember? Mom's back hurt by the time it was finished...but you can tell by the pictures it was well worth it:) Mmmm

I was supposed to be born today...

Today is my "official" due date. Mom says that's something about when I was supposed to come into this world. But as nature (or the works of Dr's) would have it, I was born two days and one year ago. Soon you'll see my party pix on this site...but until then, just remember this is the day - one year ago...that you all thought of me and my mom and my dad...not sleeping. Thank you for the casseroles...we could not have made it through...mmmm...those all sound really good right now. And this year I can EAT them!

Update in my mom's words: Sam celebrated his first bday on TUESDAY the 25th! It was a big day--he took a step (hasn't taken one since) from daddy to mommy, he's in the process of cutting top teeth (3rd & 4th total), and LOVES to wander around the house on one of his many push toys (or even a trash can if it's close by) as he practices walking. He is eating everything from Indian food to Sushi to daddy's first love--mexican food. Loves BEANS...... His favorites, though, are cottage cheese, apple sauce, and banana's--he just learned to eat straight from the banana & has been mastering eating the whole thing in one bite. We visted the dr. yesterday where we confirmed Sam as the "average Sam" - he's still right down the middle of the growth chart...but not average in our eyes.

Until next time...smooch (I'm just learning to blow kisses...someday mommy will snap a pix of that too!)

Lucca's Bday party

Getting in gear for my own parties, I downed a piece of chocolate cake with frosting...in celebration of Lucca's bday. For the rest of the party, I cruised around Lucca's deck with the princess toy...darling.

This crazy lion.....grrrrrrrr....

This crazy lion my friend Valerie had is the most fun. Infact, it was so much fun for mom & dad to watch me practice walking to the tune of grrrrrr huuhuuu that I got one as an early Birthday gift last week. Here are some pictures of me tearing it up. I might not be walking on my own yet but this lion gets me around pretty quick!
