Sam's Birthday

I know this is all out of order and way behind, but I still couldn't resist showing all of you a bit of Sam's actual birthday, which happened on April 18th. He woke up all adorable, as usual. The night before I put him in my favorite pajamas so he would be ready for a morning photo shoot to start things off right, and he didn't disappoint me. I'm telling you, he's a fried egg, but he's as cute as they come.

We spent the morning playing in my bed. This is one of Sam's favorite things, as he gets to pester Ben and throw himself everywhere without getting hurt. Actually, Ben quite likes the pestering, and giggles like crazy while Sam climbs all over him. Here they are enjoying their morning bottles together. So cute.

We didn't do much else exciting that day. Ben and Sam had their favorite meal, hotdogs and macaroni, for lunch and then it was time for naps. Glen came home early to help Sam open his birthday present and to help me set the thing up. (He had parent teacher interviews all evening, so we had to do all of the fun stuff before supper.) Sammy sure likes his fancy kitchen and so does his big budder. Of course, Sam plays very differently than Ben does. Yesterday I actually caught the little monster ON TOP OF THE COUNTER CLIMBING THROUGH THE LITTLE WINDOW! Here are some pictures of him enjoying his present on his birthday, before he discovered it could be used as a climbing apparatus.

He particularly likes the little phone. He puts it up on his ear and pretends to talk into it. So cute. Did I mention that I think Sam is cute? I did? Did I mention that he is a freaky little fried monster? Well, he is. And most days, I wouldn't have him any other way.
