Where has the time gone?

December has flown by way too fast. We arrived home on Dec 9th ready to pull out all the Christmas decortations and celebrate the birth of our Lord. Unfortunately there were mountains of laundry and items to put away before we could pull out Christmas. We finally got a tree after I threatend T I was going to take one down from the yard if he couldn't find time to take us to get one. We had one up in a day! After a week of being home, Grandmother and Uncle Ken came, it was quite a treat. I was glad that I had most of the Christmas out and was motivated to get the rest put away! Then the next weekend was Christmas. We were able to see most of our family and that was nice.

Sammy really likes it!

That's what Zack said after we rescued Sammy from Zack's trap!

9 months

December has been quite a milestone for Sam. He got his first tooth, took his first steps and enjoyed his first Christmas. He is 9 months and is such a fun little guy. Now that Sammy has started eating "real" food, Zack has realized that Sammy is a little guy. They are enjoying each other.

Cookies

This is the best part of helping mommy make cookies...

my walking shoes

Sam is excited to have his first pair of shoes. They give him more traction on the wood floors so he doesn't take as many tumbles. Best thing is that they don't come off until Mommy wants them too!

my sleeping tent

We wanted you to see my special tent where I spent my nights and naps while we were in Montgomery. From the picture you can see where I jumped on the side one too many times. At the end of our stay in Montgomery, Sammy realized how fun it was to be inside and everytime he was on the floor he would crawl over to climb inside my tent.
