Fall Fun!

in September we were wearing snowsuits & in October we are wearing shorts ... only in Calgary! But Sam is loving the gorgeous weather and we have been spending lots of time outdoors.


mmm, eating the leaves (can't get him to eat food, but leaves & rocks are too tasty to stay away from!)
really mom?! I am not sure if I believe you...

does volume & hand gestures help my case??

Fun on the stairs

Sam loves climbing up the stairs ... I keep trying to teach him that he should only climb the stairs with an adult around, but you can guess how far I'm getting with that! luckily we live in an open concept home so I can see when he starts up. (and the cute thing is that he thinks he is in trouble when I run over there so he starts climbing faster & squealing)


peek-a-boo!

are you watching me?
I'm taking a break, so there!
Fun with grandpa on the stairs too! Grandpa had a conference in Calgary so he stopped by to visit with us ... well not us ... Sam. :)

I'm a lucky little guy

ps....bruises on his head aren't from stairs! :)

Happy Birthday Dad & Grandpa!

mmmm, dirt

hi mom, I found something new to play with ...

I'm not in trouble, am I?
He wasn't....but mom learned two more lessons yesterday. lesson #1 to mom: if you let your child play with the pot downstairs, he will play with the pot upstairs - he does not know that one has dirt and one doesn't. lesson #2 to mom: if son is happily chatting away and he is not in a spot where there are toys, maybe see why he is so happy! :)

Happy Birthday Mom!

Thanks for putting up with my messes....

And playing with me all day...

Lots of kisses, love Sam!

Who likes Brussels Sprouts?!

SAM likes Brussels Sprouts!! We eat pretty healthy in our house, but he tops it at his newest food love.

mmmm, crunch crunch

8 months and full of fun!

here are some pictures I took on Sam's 8 month birthday...such a fun guy!


hi mom, I'm just standing here...not even thinking of getting into trouble...

hands in the cookie jar! (or in his case, in the pot of rocks)

playing peek-a-boo: his favorite game
his favorite person in the whole world!
kisses for mom! this is his new thing ... I ask for kisses and he opens his mouth and plants it on my cheek. sooo adorable (makes up for the fact that he likes dad the best, haha)
