Samuel's 1st Christmas



breakfast with mommy

stockings!



We stayed home this Christmas. We missed our families but enjoyed a very relaxing first Christmas as a family of three! Samuel and I had breakfast while we waited for Ben to wake up. Samuel was not very interested in opening any of his presents so Ben & I traded off. He really loved the yellow smiley face ball from Grandma Sola (he carried it the whole morning). He really loves the ABC Elmo he got from Aunt Shannon, Uncle Greg and cousins Kyra & Kami!

Samuel was pretty fussy off and on the entire day. He had a runny nose so we thought he was getting a cold. The day after Christmas, while I was feeding Samuel breakfast, I noticed his FIRST tooth! Now that explains the fussines...close enough to say he got his first tooth on Christmas! :)

I will try to post 2 videos later. For some reason it takes me about 10 tries to upload a single video...I don't know if it's blogger or me. Argh!

O Christmas Tree

Here are a few pictures of Samuel checking out the Christmas tree. He LOVES the lights!! He has kept his distance from it for the most part, but every so often wanders to the tree and tries to grab a few ornaments.

Update on Samuel

I finally have some time to sit down and write an update on Samuel. Here goes...

Samuel is constantly on the move. He enjoys climbing up the stairs, pulling himself up on anything imaginable. He loves any type of music! He claps his hands moves his upper body to any beat. He talks quite a bit these days. His favorite thing is to look at something and say "ooooooh". It is too cute! He absolutely loves lights. He will look up at the ceiling multiple times each day and say "oooooh". He is now standing by himself for up to 5 seconds at a time. It is only a matter of time before he takes that first step. We are anticipating that will be by Christmas. He sleeps so well. He goes to bed pretty early at 6pm and wakes up around 6am. No complaints here. He still has no teeth, though...I guess his wish this Christmas will be for his 2 front teeth. :)
