Sam is 10 Months Old!!

I can't believe another month has passed so quickly and Sam is now 10 months old. It all happens in the blink of an eye, which is SO sad to me! Anyway, this precious child gets cuter and cuter as each day passes. He is so funny, sweet, and loving! However, he definitely has a little "temper" that comes to life when he doesn't get his way! He can squeal louder than any baby I know! Over the last month, he has gotten 3 more teeth (totaling 5) and LOVES to eat! He still nurses/bottle 4 times daily and eats 3 meals a day and several snacks! If he ever catches up with his eating, he is going to outgrow everything he has! He has taken a few steps along the way in the last few weeks, but he isn't walking yet. I guess I'm glad because I think when he starts walking, he is going to be in to everything! He weighs 19 lbs still (hasn't gained any weight since 9 month checkup), but I don't think it will be long before he is packing the pounds on with all of that eating! Here are a few pictures of my precious baby boy!

He was eating crunchy poofs and wearing his Santa hat. Look at that dirty little face--isn't it so Precious??

I LOVE that sweet, innocent smile!

Sister was being silly and dressed brother with a "Coffee filter hat"! He thought it was so funny!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We've been busy getting ready for Christmas! We have slowly gotten the decorations up (with a little help from Kendall and Sam). Kendall was so helpful getting her pink tree decorated! She was so proud because she did it all by herself! I'm sure hoping that Sam keeps his little hands away from the trees and other decorations!! 

Sam is excited about Christmas decorations!

I see that mischievous little look as he heads straight for the tree!

On December 1, we attended the Tupelo Christmas Parade and Gingerbread house activities downtown. It was a lot of fun! The weather was very pretty and it was a perfect day for the parade! Sweet Sam enjoyed watching the parade and mostly watching his sister doing all of the fun activities.

Precious!

Yay for Santa Claus!

Daddy and Kendall working hard on making the gingerbread house. I think she ate more of the candy than decorating the house with it!

Talking with Santa and telling him ALL that she wants!

So proud of Sam for not being scared of Santa!

Thanksgiving in Clarksdale!

We went to Clarksdale for Thanksgiving, and we had a wonderful time with our family! Somehow, we never get a picture with all of us, and poor Mimi and Papa weren't in any of the pictures!  We will definitely remember to include them in the future! Anyway, we got a few pictures of each of our families!

Kendall, Mommy, and "Lovie"!

Sam has 3 teeth now...1 on top and 2 on bottom! Look at that sweet, precious smile!

Sweet, Sweet Babies!

We took the kids out one afternoon when the weather was pretty to attempt Christmas card pictures. We got some sweet pictures of them together! Here are just a few of the 100 pictures we took! I love how they love each other!

9 Months old!

Sweet Sam is 9 months old and he is really coming into his personality! He babbles all the time and has started waving "bye bye". He is standing alone for several minutes but not taking too many steps yet! He loves to eat and does not miss a meal! He likes eggs and rolls a lot! He is NOT interested at all in a sippy cup, though! He has the sweetest little smile and a great big belly laugh that I just love! 

weight--19 lbs (37%)

height--29 in (76%)
