Our Sam is officially one. It is hard to believe that he is a whole year old. On the other hand, he is such a part of us that it is hard to imagine our life without him. He was definitely meant to be part of our family. We had fun celebrations for his big day. Two days before his actual birthday, we were at Pack Night. Our friend fed him little pieces of her cookie and then gave him is very own, whole cookie. He was delighted. I wish I had taken a video. He has this infectious little giggle. (According to Grandma and Grandpa, Joseph used to giggle like that, too. I know, it is hard to imagine Joseph as a giggler.) Sam had us all laughing along with him. If only we were all so pleased with the little pleasures of life.
Backing up a few more days to Easter Sunday . . . When we were all together for Easter dinner, we celebrated with Sam and Brook. Sam was not to sure about unwrapping presents. He tore off one small piece and then tried to put it back on. How cute. He liked his singing puppy from Grandma. He also like Brook's toys. We had to keep luring him away from all the pink stuff.
Finally his actual birthday arrived. He still did not quite know what to do with the wrapping paper, but he liked the toys. So did his siblings. I was excited to give him this little racetrack, but he hardly got a turn with it. The big kids took over. Zac was the worst. Now Sam just sits in it. Oh well. It's the thought that counts.
Sam knew exactly what the puffs were and knew just what to do with them.
As per tradition, he got his very own cupcake all to himself. He was not hesitant at all. He pulled the candle right out and as soon as the wrapper was off, he started shoving it in his mouth. His bandaged hand did not slow him down by any means. We got some great video that will hopefully be on the blog soon.
We love you so much, Sam. We love your smiles and growls; we love your toddle waddle and side-to-side head bobble. Please don't grow up too fast. We don't want to miss a thing!
