Nice Sunday

Went out to lunch today with my mom, Susie and Joe!! We had a nice time shopping around. Finally went to Trader Joes! I have to say I was quite impressed! Think I will stop by there more often.....

Spending time with Friends & Family

On Sept 6, 2012 my dad met up with me and several of my Stroller Strider ladies and we took the kids to the Butterfly Pavilion in Southlake.  It was such a neat experience.  The older kiddos got to hold sticks with watermelon on them and the butterflies would land and feed on them.  I didnt think Sam would enjoy it as much as he did.  Gosh this little boy is growing up so fast.  Here are a couple shots I took that day.

Nancy and Caroline

Heidi and Everett

Jake (just turned one and a pro at walking)

Allyson and Luke

Pam and Paige

Ana and David

Boys being boys!!

Sabrina and Peyton

After that we all went to Corner Bakery and had lunch!  And a little shopping with my parents, Sabrina and Peyton. 

The next day, Saturday, some of my family came in from California.  My aunt Pam and my favorite cousin Cindee.  We enjoyed spending time with them as it had been since my wedding that I had seen them and it was their first time to meet Sam. 

This was Sunday Sept 9, 2012 at H3 Ranch!

August and Beginning of September

We have been super busy with lots of fun stuff with Sam.  He is now 10 1/2 months.  I can not believe it.  When people tell you is goes so fast, they are not lying.  It really really does.  And I am enjoying every moment of it I can!  Here are some neat things we have been up to this month!!

He only wants to eat food that he can pickup, refusing the spoon most of the time now. 

Things he likes to eat: peas, pasta, cherrios, turkey, chicken, yogurt, hummus, just about anything you put in front of him!! Most of the time even if he makes a silly face he will keep eating. Oh and he loves sucking out of the pouches and holding it by himself. 

This face cracks me up!!

                                            He turned 10 months on the 20th of August!

He loves bath time!

8/30/2012 - Last week one of my dear friends from Stroller Strides invited several of us over for a Sensory play date!!  Thanks Chelsea, it was so much fun.  The moms were to bring something that stimulated the children's 5 senses.  Great idea!! So glad to have met these women!

Janie & Le Blanc

These were some of the items moms made and brought!

Vinny & Sam (they are the linebackers of the bunch)

Stacy brought pudding that she food put food coloring in so the babies could paint!  Such a great idea!

Vinny was stealing everyones pudding!!  

Cici decided just to eat the pudding! LOL

My precious baby Sam!! He will always be my baby whether he is 10 months or 10 years old!!

We also went to the Dallas Aquarium this last weekend!! 9/01/2012

I had to add these, they were just too cute!  He learned where his nose is and how to pick it while waiting for the elevator.  

Yeah we saw that buddy!!

This crab is as big as me!

This is my favorite photo!

He picked out this snake. Such a little boy!!

Then we took dad to the West End and the Original Spaghetti Warehouse

What a fun day!!

PS - Sam started shaking his head no at us :)
