Sam - 14 months (Feb 2009)

What a chip off the ol' block. Sam loves bacon and eggs with Papa on the weekends!


Sam's favorite playmate, Shane

Superbowl Sunday

Here we go Steelers, Here we go!

Shouldn't everyone enjoy a little junkfood on Superbowl Sunday? Balanced with a few grapes, of course!

Check out my awesome curls!

Looking cute in my new shirt from Aunt Jen & Uncle Adam

Pajama Time!

The future of Ajax Amsterdam

The jacuzzi is way more fun than the regular bathtub!

Lots of catching up to do

So, I am not even going to make excuses anymore, I think I'll just start posting photos since that is what you really want to see anyway! I'll break it up by month in the following posts. But, as you can imagine, Sam is really starting to grow up and change each day. He is finally starting to get some hair and is much more communicative. He signs like crazy, although still doesn't say much yet! He got his molars in, which wasn't very much fun for us, but at least we are through with round 1 of that! And, he enjoyed a long weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Ennis, where he was spoiled rotten! Other than that, life has pretty much been status quo in the Althuis household. We are fortunate to have such a nice winter here in Austin so we get outside quite a bit...I really don't know how my parents ever raised us in a cold climate. I would go crazy with a child indoors all day!!!

Enjoy the photos. I'll try to break them up as best I can. And I'd love to tell you that I am going to get better about posting stuff, but I'd rather underpromise and overdeliver!
