Sam is 1!

My second baby, my little pudge, is a whole year old. It doesn't feel like it's been a year, but then, years seem so much shorter nowadays. 

Sammy is feisty and opinionated. But he's also super sweet and snugly. 

He loves tackling his big brother, trying to steal my phone and getting into trouble. When I do use the phrase "Sammy, no!" He turns and gives me a big grin. He knows what he's doing.

Sam likes to take naps and go to bed. I don't know how I lucked out with that one, his brother is pretty much the same. Sam does not like to be confined. We packed away his bouncy chair and he would just scream in that or the pack 'n play. 

His favorite baby food is squash, but we're finally moving away from the purée and into real solids. He's got 4 teeth now! And he loves his Cheerios. Sam is also trying to copy words and uses "all done" often and he tries to say "kitty." His "words" aren't quite words yet, so I don't know wether to count them as his first. 

Sam loves the cats and will crawl after them to give them squishy hugs. The cats don't appreciate it very much. 

Turns out that Sam also loves cake. He dove in with his fists before I even set the plate down. 

He had a bath immediately after. He was very cake covered. 

Thanks to grandma for hosting! It was our house's first weekend on the market and that's a whole pile of stress in itself.

No walking yet, but he is great at crawling and pulling himself up. 

St. Patrick's Day

Nymeria looks so happy. 

Matching jammies!

While I said he likes naps, he still has his days where he's too silly to sleep:

He was very proud of himself. 

Happy Birthday, Sammy! Love you super bunches!!
