And Christmas is done.....

Here we are seeing the fabulous Christmas display at the Macys 8th floor.




Ever since Sam could get on the couch a couple weeks ago, he is up there all the time! How cute is this?

Very happy Gigi feeding Sam at Christmas dinner.
Aww....the happy family!

Just like every other boy in the family, Sam, too, is obsessed with hockey! He got a net from Uncle Pete and we are so excited to play...and play...and play....
We got a very special visit at Grandma Connie and Papa Tim's house from Santa. Sammy, however, was not the biggest fan :)

What an amazing Christmas! We had the best time. Sam was at a wonderful age. He was active and loved the presents...well, actually the wrapping, but still had a blast!

A couple major updates with Sam -

-He now "talks" up a storm. He points, babbles and I really think that he gets that we are saying. Grandma Connie thinks he is speaking Chinese.
-He can point out "mama" and "dada" in photos.
-He waves "hi" like a mad man
-He still loves signing more and all done.
-A couple weeks ago he started getting his molars! All 4 at once. They are slowing coming in and he is a rock star! You would barely know that the kid is teething.
-He is still a dancing machine. He has added a little "head bang" to the mix. So he has a nice mix of "hip hop" and "rock" dance moves. Love it!
-He can now go up and down on the stairs

Had a fabulous family Christmas with my family - Pat, Sam, Dad and Colin - What an amazing Christmas!!! The boys loved playing hockey before Chinese Christmas dinner!

Back from Australia....

I got back from Australia after a 2 week vacation with my mom and brother. It was an amazing trip, but I am very excited to be back with Sammy!

Sam is growing up so fast! When I got back, we went and got our tree! It was beautiful and snowing!



Here are the updates from the past couple weeks:

Sam is now a waving machine - he loves to wave "Hi" and "Bye"

When he wants more, he can sign it and does it a lot with cookies, bananas, blueberries and raspberries. We cannot help but give the kid what he wants when he is so cute and smart :)


He LOVES to dance - whenever he hears music (particularly Hip Hop) or the word "dance" he dances. Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes is one of his favorites.

He can climb on the couch - boo - where he can grab all the things we put up there to keep out of his reach such as phones, clickers, cameras and computers.


He still LOVES toothbrushes. All kinds, all sizes. The kid is a toothbrush loving machine.

And just like his Daddy, Sammy loves hockey! Pat is very happy. They play and watch sports all the time. Like father, like son.



He can now walk backwards and loves to spin around. Pretty funny to watch.

And the kid is still a book fanatic. Loves to read, er, well flip the pages. He is obsessed! I think it is fantastic. Whenever we get to a bear or lion he makes a "roar" sound that is way too cute.
This kid makes us so happy and it is so fun to watch him grow up to become the perfect little person he has always been.
