12 Months!!

Oh my goodness, I have so much blogging to do! I'm going to try to get it all done this week but we'll see!!

Our little man turned ONE YEAR OLD on June 18th. In some ways, it's crazy that it's been a year since he was born, and in others it seems like he's been with us for ages. Here are the highlights of Samuel's 12th month:

First off, we moved into our new house this month!

 Samuel enjoys getting into "his" cabinet and playing with the plastic containers.

 Samuel has climbed across every inch of this house! We pretty much have it baby-proofed and it's nice that he can explore.

 Samuel's room. We love it!!

Samuel and Daddy playing in the backyard.

 Next, Samuel took his first swim class this month! He LOVES the water!! Samuel learned how to kick, splash, "float" on his tummy and back, blow bubbles, and "jump" off the side to Mommy or Daddy. Here is our little swimmer with his Daddy.

And here we are at the baby part of the Carrollton pool. They have all sorts of splash toys and a lazy river! We love it!

Here Samuel is jumping into the pool to Daddy.

We enjoyed getting snowcones after swim class on some nights. I think Sammy like raspberry flavor best!

 Our little man got his hair cut for the first time this month! It was on June 16th at Cool Cuts for Kids. He did a fabulous job! He loved sitting in the little car and chewing on the little gown they had him wear. Doesn't he look handsome???

 We have also enjoyed some good cousin play time this month. Samuel and Hannah love each other and enjoy "playing" together. This is only the beginning of cousin craziness!!

At Samuel's 12 month appointment on June 19th, he weighed 22 lbs, 12 oz (55th percentile) and was 29 3/4 inches long (50th percentile).

He is wearing 18 month clothes.

He can say mama, dada, cheese, and go.

He is cruising along furniture all the time. I'm pretty sure he would be able to walk on his own if he tried, but he really isn't interested yet. It won't be long, though.

Samuel loves to play "peek-a-boo", stack and unstack blocks, swim, go for walks outside, and just be free.

Samuel doesn't like to be cooped up for long, to get his diaper changed (seriously, he fights it and screams when I put him on his back!! I'm ready for this phase to be over!!), or to be away from mama.

He will eat pretty much anything we put in front of him. Some favorites are cheese, bread, watermelon, strawberries, bananas, and ice cream:)

We LOVE our little man!! I am so happy to be spending the summer with him!!

Next up: Samuel's first birthday party and camp!
