I love this face! KISS ;)
I took this picture because it shows how long he has gotten. You don't notice things like this on a day-to-day basis but this day it caught my attention. Not bad little premie.
This is Samuel's 2nd Cousin Averie's stuffed dog. But of course, Samuel had to love on it.
ahhhhhhhh... hugs for Averie
I love, love, love my pool.
We came home the next day and found the pool ripped to shreds in the backyard. Thanks a lot Raven! Of course, we haven't been able to find one like it again. $5 bucks down the drain. ;)
I love popsicles.. sugar free of course. ;)
Mama's favorite Ranger... and little boy
I imagine they are both waiting for a treat.

Sweet baby elephant... bronzed of course.
Cool Crocodile 
Giddy Up Mama
I can hear what you are thinking.. he's still taking a bottle. Well... just at night and that's going to end shortly. Telling a toddler they can't have something they want is not a fun ting to do. ;)
My cool new sun hat. Although, I think it looks like he's going fishing.
Dang I'm cute!
Hugs for Raven.
Poor Raven. Samuel thinks she's his own personal riding toy.
oooooohhhhhh water!
For me this blog is sorta doubling as Samuel's baby book which is why I feel the need to say something about every picture and post so many pictures. However, there are days when it can be very difficult to say something fun or positive.... you parents out there know what I am talking about. I usually work on this blog when Samuel is napping which is what he is supposed to be doing right now. Instead he is in his bed yelling for me to come in and give him his blanket and pacifier which have been thrown on the floor for the third time now. Sorry buddy. I have to draw the line somewhere. Sweet dreams. ;)

Enough with the pictures already
Samuel was dipping his green beans in the salsa and eating them. Strange. 
I love my Auntie Des!
Riley loved kissing Samuel and he thought it was pretty funny too. If his daddy had come on the visit he would be freaking out because of all the dog germs. Sorry daddy.
Uncle Ron reading me my favorite book.
Monica and Des always crack me up. Mariah was mad about something so they decided they were going to pout too. Samuel's looking at them like they have lost their minds.....which they have.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Samuel sandwich!
Girl you're too old to be doing stuff like that.. you might break a hip or something. ;)
Still being crazy and Samuel's caught in the middle.
Sisters Rock!
Mariah waiting for a bucket of water to fall on her at the waterpark.
This was Samuel's first time to be at a waterpark. He really loved it.
The socks are a nice touch aren't they?? I thought so. hahaha
It's amazing how Samuel understands the words "pool" and "swim" but not the words "Stop Screaming!"
This is why swim diapers were invented. That thing has reached maximum volume capacity.
There was a time when we used to have to help Samuel up on his slide. Now he climbs up and starts shaking the top. FEARLESS

Samuel's first banana. At 18 months old you would think that he would have had his first banana already but he had always refused to eat them. I guess it was a texture issue. This day he just ate one out of the blue which really shocked us. Little stinker.
Samuel's first time in a baseball dugout.
He loves to run through Mike's legs. I call it the wind tunnel. ;)
