Mama's Smiley Bear

Check out those teethers!!!! And that orange nose from too much baby food. haha
How can you resist this face?!! Seriously, what a cutie.

10 months old and trying to crawl. He's doing the Army crawl thing right now but usually he only tries to get to things like the remote, my phone and the dogs. Other than that, he's still pretty much staying in one place. WHEW! Although... he is trying to pull himself up on most everything.

Samuel's Favorite Activities

PUTTING HIS FINGERS IN HIS MOUTH!

Actually, putting anything in his mouth will do. And looking like Super Baby while doing it. Somehow his bib always ends up doubling as a cape.

CHEWING ON BOOKS!

He probably thinks we think it's the dogs doing it.

PLAYING WITH CONSTRUCTION PAPER!

We keep his pacifier in so he doesn't eat the paper.. which he loves to do. In fact, he ate the corner of my grocery list just yesterday. ooppss Paper counts as fiber right???!!!

PLAYING WITH HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS!

For example.. this Tupperware container. It's not really a toy and it's cheaper than his actual toys. Isn't that always the case.

Pulling the bumper down in his crib, throwing his pacifier out

and then (usually) crying b/c his pacifier is on the floor. In this picture, he was happy b/c Raven was in the room. We put the bumper up b/c he rolls around so much at night that he bangs his head on the crib rails, plus we were trying to make an attempt to cage the pacifier in.. obviously he figured out a way around this.
PLAYING IN THE LAUNDRY BASKET!
Again...better than an actual toy and cheaper too. Of course, the real fun is watching his mama (and Auntie Monica) get out of breath from pushing him around the house.

Samuel's Best Buddy

Samuel really loves spending time with Mariah. His face really lites up when he sees her.

Hopefully, what's playing is Beat It and not Billie Jean. haha

Some of Samuel's favorite things.... Daddy and the dog

Now that Samuel is trying to crawl Raven has become his new jungle gym. Poor Raven.
Ha, Ha You can't get me........ said Raven. ;)

Listening to Daddy read Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss

Sometimes when I download pictures from the camera to put on the blog I find pictures of things that happened when I wasn't around....like this one for instance. Too funny! His onesie says Certified Cowboys Fan.

I love my LuLu

We try to spend Sundays over at LuLu's visiting Bobby & Poppy and Grandpa Guy.

Out on the patio at LuLu's.

Hanging out.

Hanging out with Granddad!
Classic!
Diapers. Check. Beer. Check. Samuel. Check.

Samuel loves to be outside so we try to eat out on our patio as often as the weather permits.

I just love this pic of him. He's always smiling.

Playing at LuLu's

Samuel with his Great Uncle Proctor Basically this is what Mike looked like when he was a baby.. except he had whitish blonde hair.

Auntie Desiree..

Hanging out with my Auntie at her favorite place when she comes to visit.... The Cheesecake Factory

Samuel Believes!

Some day Uncle Ron & Aunt Desiree will have to show me how to use this thing
because mama and daddy sure don't have a clue! For now I guess I'll just eat it.

Watch out! I've got teeth.

Hard to see but they are definitely there.
Well, they are officially here.......Samuel's first two teeth. I can hardly believe that my baby is during into a little boy. Thankfully, he hasn't tried using them on us.. yet. He loves his teething biscuits as you can see. WOW, what a mess!
