Playing in the snow!
We got about 3 inches of snow last night. We bundled up Samuel and then he couldn't move. He seriously could not walk up the stairs so I had to carry him! He enjoyed the snow. At first he was a little unsure of it but once Ben started making snowballs, he LOVED it! Now every time it snows, I'm sure that he will ask to play in the snow!

Brushing teeth in the dark?
Samuel LOVES to brush his teeth. Multiple times throughout the day he'll say "Teeeeeeth!" This time he figured out that he can reach the light switch.
Dancing to Sesame
Samuel loves to dance to the Sesame Street Theme Song! He just loves to dance. period.

Shapes, Colors & Animals
Because he's just SO cute, plus I need to do the typical mother bragging...
Samuel is getting so big these days! He loves to learn new things. When he looks at pictures of animals, colors & shapes, he'll tell you what they are. He waits for us to acknowledge that he said it correctly & for us to repeat what he said. If we just nod or say "yep", he continues to say it until we repeat the exact same word. He knows most colors except he struggles with green & yellow. He knows a lot of shapes, too although he can't seem to get square yet. He loves to walk around and talk about circles all day long!
He enjoys looking at animal flashcards! He recognizes most animals by name or by the sound they make. He's getting more picky about what shirt he wears, though. He only likes shirts that have something on the front like a ball, animal, etc. He will walk around all day telling you what is on his shirt.
He is learning manners, too. He says "more, please" to just about anything. Although, he assumes that by saying this he will get whatever he asks. :)
Here's Samuel in an old rocker I had when I was little girl...

Denver & my parents visit!
My parents spent a week with us. We met them in Denver last Saturday & the temperature was barely in the 30's! It was super cold. We went to the Colorado Railroad Museum & Coors Brewery in Golden (AB is SO much better of a tour but what can I say, I'm biased to them)! We also went to the Denver Children's Museum which Samuel absolutely loved! We walked a bit around 16th st in Denver but it was just too cold! Saturday night Ben & I went to a nice dinner at Simm's Steakhouse which had panoramic views of the city - it was our 5yr early anniversary celebration. Ben & I headed back home on Sunday night and my parents kept Samuel in Denver with them until Monday. They went to the Denver Zoo on Monday - luckily it was a bit warmer. We spent the week hanging out in Colo. Spgs. My dad installed organized closets in our master bedroom - YEA(https://www.johnlouishome.com/)!
It was great having them here. We look forward to seeing them at Christmas in St. Louis!

Fall in Colorado
We took a drive out to Buena Vista, Colorado today. It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day! As much as we wanted to stay home & watch college football, we decided to hit the road up in the mountains. It was a little under 2 hrs to get there. The drive was beautiful in itself. Once we arrived to this small mountain town, we hiked along a river with an array of different colored trees. After our nice hike, we ate a local bar & grill. Samuel had a great time checking out every rock (& there were A LOT) along the hike. I think we maybe went a total of a half mile but it took us over an hour!
