happy birthday to daddy!

celebrations, kids

thursday was daddy’s  2 9 t h  birthday.  yes boys,  daddy is 1 year younger than mama.   he will always remind us of that too.   so i should not even try to forget about it.  we were so happy he was able to come home from a business trip on his birthday.  we sure missed him!  a lot.   we celebrated with spoiling him with his favorite foods and lots of love!  samuel was really excited to see him!   it is so sweet to see his love for his dada! we  look forward to spoiling daddy through out this last year in his 20’s  😉

at  n i n e  months you keep us on our toes.  you have 3 top teeth that we can see now, especially when you giggle.   you love music and you dance when you get excited.  you still are a huge fan of clapping.  you   l o v e   food.   you favorite is to be able to pick it up.  sometimes you try to take the food off of your spoon.  you love blueberries, avocado, meats, yogurt, baby goldfish, graham crackers, cheerios and even tomatoes!   i’m sure the food list will grow just like you ;).  sounds like you are a perfect fit for our family.   you are sleeping through the night 9pm to 8am most nights.  you are ready for a nap around lunch and will usally sleep a few hours.  your napping schedule reminds me so much of jacks when he was your age.  however,  now a days i don’t stress out about specific times, if you go down you go down 🙂  if not, i’m sure it will happen at some point in the day.

you are crawling so fast.  pulling up on everything.  walking along the things you pull up on is the newest trick.   it’s all so new and exciting to you!  i love to watch you.  you still are attached to your bevo wub a nub.  we lost your puppy one so we pray we never lose this one or else we are in trouble.  you love playing cars.  you really move them back and forth to make them go, it is pretty darn cute to watch.  your favorite toy right now is a shake and go lightning mcqueen car.   it is so much fun to watch your eyes light up with it.   you also love to play with and throw the ball around.   you love giving kisses and you are still jack’s littlest, biggest fan.  you recently started to crawl up to daddy when he walks in the door to give him hugs and kisses.  oh man do you know how to melt our hearts.

  nine months is such a fun age!

pictures are getting more challenging,  but i’m determined to still try because you are just getting cuter.   your hair is insane.  daddy is reluctantly letting me trim the hair around your ears and the crazy strings on the backside this week.  so i did cherish grabbing these pictures.   no worries i know your hair will still be “out” there just not as long on the sides 🙂

you are a very happy  nine month old and you never want to miss a beat.   we love you so much and can’t get enough of this growing little personality of yours.  we love our sam sandwich!
