Happy Halloween

We have the cutest little lion!! Holiday's are already so much more fun and he's still too young to understand! We dressed him up as a lion because Sam LOVES to roar (growl)! It is so stinking cute! I know in some of the pictures he seems to not like the costume, but he just wanted to play with the hood. He didn't mind it, but thought it was a toy. He was also WAY more interested in eating the leaves then looking at me!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

10 Months Old

Sam is so much fun and is growing so fast! He is such a joy and keeps us smiling and laughing! His personality is really what is growing. He is so funny and loves to laugh. But also is very curious and loves watching people. 

He's a pro at standing while holding onto things. And is even getting brave and starting to let go and stand without help for a couple of seconds. He is really close to taking his first steps! (Not sure if I'm ready for that!)

This is his face after getting in trouble...he's trying to decide to smile or cry! :)

It is amazing how someone so little can change everything about you. We are so in love with this little boy that we are smiling all the time. (Or I cry...hormones!) I love watching him learn and grow, but also hate it...it's going by so fast and I can't get it back.

32 Weeks

I have been horrible with pictures! Hopefully, now that I have a new camera I'll get better at it again! This isn't the best quality, it was taken with my phone, but you get the idea...I'm huge!

I am so ready to have this baby! I am super tired, sore and tired! I tell people I'm an elephant. (Cause, they are pregnant for 2 years!) I do love being pregnant, and I love feeling her move, but I'm ready to meet her. Vanessa moves a lot! She seems to be growing very well! I've been having dreams of delivering her for the past two weeks, so I am really hoping that means she will be early. (Not too early though) I still can't believe I'm going to be a mother of two in two months!!! I feel so blessed!!!

Baby Shower for Vanessa

My sweet cousin Ruth threw a baby shower for Vanessa and me. She did a great job and knows how to throw a party!!! :) Vanessa got some really cute clothes, and much needed blankets. 

Emily Costner made this amazing dress for Vanessa. I absolutely love it and almost cried when I opened the wrapping paper!

These pictures don't even do it justice! It's made from vintage lace.

Ruth went all out! Ruth and her brother Steve, made all the food. Ruth even made the decorations. The best part about them...they are for her room! I LOVE THEM!!!! She made 2 awesome banners. A cute 'plain' one and then one with her name! (I had to squish it together to get it all in the picture, but it's pretty big!) 

It was a great day, surround with people who mean lot to me and I love!!! Again, I am feeling overwhelmed with how much love I feel for me and my baby. I've overwhelmed with my love from Heavenly Father sending me another little miracle so soon!!! I am loving the way my life is turning out!!! 

9 months...ok maybe 9 1/2 months

Our printer is being funny, so I haven't been able to print a 9 month sign. And since Canada, my camera just hasn't been working right. (And, I am super tired!) Excuses, Excuses!!! I know!

Our sweet baby is 9 month old!! He had a great 9 month 'birthday'. We got our family pictures, went to lunch, went shopping and went to the zoo. (I've already blogged about our fun day)

Sam is a big kid! He eats everything!!! No food is safe from this kid! He is a busy boy, if you can't tell by the pictures. He is a super crawler, and can pull himself up on the furniture and walk around the room using the furniture. He is in to everything and is quickly learning what the word no means :) He finally likes bath time...thank heavens!!! He has 4 teeth, the two front bottom, and the two front top. He is currently working on a 5th. 

Here are the stats: 

Head: 18.2 (75%)

Height: 29.1 (75%)

Weight: 23.14 (95%)
