October/November highlights

Sam is 13 months old today! Even though we aren't doing the "months" photos anymore, we still thought it would be fun to share some highlights from November...and since we got caught up in the birthday fun last month, we decided to share the October highlights too:

Thanksgiving!

Last year we spent Thanksgiving at home with Sam, since he was only 3 weeks old. We enjoyed it, but with only the three of us celebrating (and only two of us eating the turkey) it definitely felt like something was missing! This year we flew out to Pittsburgh to spend the holiday with Grandma, Papock, Aunt Valerie and Uncle Mark, Emily and Clara, Uncle Mike and Miss Erin, and Great Aunt Beth and Great Grandma. A much fuller table than last year!

Sam did really well on the flights, and he had a great time playing with everyone, being pulled on the "blanket sled", and seeing the birds at the National Aviary!

Some highlights from the holiday weekend:

Grandma and Papock--here I come!

(We started packing our suitcase and Sam climbed right in!)

Yum!

I don't think Sam could fit one more bite of PB&J in that mouth!

Rock Rock Rock

Puzzle

Playing with his farm animal puzzle--plus a shot of those teeth!

Trying to get the last few puffs out...

What a ham!

Another highlight from the big birthday weekend--Sam sure knows how to ham it up for his audience!

Birthday Party!

Sam had a GREAT weekend with all of his grandparents here. We celebrated Sam's birthday with lots of food, cake, presents, and playing!

I bet there's something good in here...
