Treats!

Happy Halloween!

Sam loves his Tiger costume!


Or does he...?

Children's Museum

For Sam's birthday we took a trip to the Minnesota Children's Museum. They have lots of fun stuff to do, including an exhibit for kids under age 4 (the "Habitot"). Sam had fun going through the "log", looking at the turtle in the aquarium, playing among the "cattails", pushing buttons (his favorite), and crawling around everywhere!

Cake!

We let Sam have his birthday cupcake at 9:07AM, the time he was born one year ago. At first he wasn't sure it was food..but once he got a taste of the buttercream frosting he was hard to stop!

12 Months of Sam

Sam turns one...

Hi guys! It's my birthday! Stay tuned for birthday updates :)

Videos!!

We have so many great videos of Sam to share. With Sam's birthday and Halloween coming up there's little risk that the blog will be short on content, so we decided to share a bunch now. Hope you like them!

Hey, this card makes noise when I shake it!:

Stacking Rings

Sam's getting pretty good at stacking these rings, and at dumping them off again! We were getting ready for his bath, but Sam wanted to play--I think he was showing off so he could delay bedtime.

Check out my spooky shirt!

It glows in the dark!

Pumpkin Patch

Our neighbors recommended a local pumpkin farm, and we took Sam there this afternoon. Not only do they have great pumpkins, it's also on a small family farm, so there are animals too! Sam saw pigs, goats, llamas, and mini horses and donkeys. Sam especially liked being pulled around in the wagon with our pumpkins:



We had perfect weather and we all had a great time!

Lookin' Sharp!

Sam's hair was getting pretty shaggy:



So we took him to get a little trim:



We think he looks pretty good!

Puffs

Sam is good at finding places to put these puffs...

Reading with Dad

Sam thought this pop-out book was pretty funny!

"Feeding" Raven

Like Father, Like Son

Fish Face

Recently Sam's started making this funny fish face, and we're not really sure why. Maybe it's more fun than it looks:

Basket of Toys

I gave Sam's soft toys a wash, and he thought it was pretty fun to play in the basket:

Busted!

It's no wonder Sam's drawer is always such a mess...
