Nine Months Old!!

Sam is now 9 month old! He can crawl very well and is trying to walk. He can pull up on things to stand and LOVES for people to hold his hands so he can walk around. It tires Mommy out so that's what grandparents and aunts are for!!! haha He is eating a lot of table food now. He likes Cheerios, cereal puffs, and anything else he can get in his mouth! The doctor says he is a little small for his age but we're thinking he'll catch up in the next few months. We had a bad bout of virus/teething/fever earlier this week but we are back to all smiles now! One month old

Three months old

Six months old

Nine months old!

Sam is nine months!

Camping in Hiawassee, GA

Joseph, Sam and I went camping with our friends Mandy, Brian and their son Bradley along with their Sunday School class and their families. Sam and Bradley were the only boys but they loved it. Sam was the youngest so he had lots of baby-sitters and I loved it!! :) It rained off and on a couple of days but it wasn't bad. Sam enjoyed the dirt and the streams most of all. There are several pics of him on a tarp(because the ground was wet and we were running out of changes of clothes!!) playing with sticks, rocks and dirt....you know, boy stuff!! The campground was really nice. The kids brought their bikes. Even the "big kids" (the Dads) brought their's too! There are a couple of pics of Bradley learning to ride. There was also a putt-putt course and a pool. We had a great time and look forward to next year!

Fourth of July

Wow, it's been a while since I put pics on the blog. Here is Joseph, Sam and I watching fireworks with Joseph's parents, Meme and Pops! Sam is in his pajamas because it was so late. He liked sitting around waiting for the fireworks but cried and fussed once they started because he was sooo tired!

Our trip to Alabama and Florida

Sam and I went to visit my mom while Joseph was at camp/mission trip with our youth group and my Dad, Emily and Jenny were at camp with their youth group. We stayed in Chatom (AL) for a few days and also visited my Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle and my cousin Lauren in Ft. Walton Beach, FL for a few days that week. Sam got to go swimming for the very first time at the same place I went swimming for the first time (I was 6 weeks old!) at my Grandparents cottage on Garnier's Bayou. Sam and I actually rode Amtrak (train) from Atlanta,GA to Meridian,MS and then back. It was cheaper than buying gas and driving!!! Sam really enjoyed the train ride. He was very social and made lots of friends. People came by our seat just to say "Bye" to Sam when we were getting close to Meridian on the way down. On the way back he played with a couple and another family with kids while I ate lunch! haha He's such a charmer! Anyways, this is a compilation of some pictures that I took that week! :)

Happy Father's Day!

Unfortunately, Joseph missed his first Father's Day with us. He was on a mission trip with our church youth group that week. This is a picture montage I put together for him. I know he hasn't been a Dad that long (only 8 months) but he has been the best Dad Sam could ask for! :) We love you! :)

Stone Mountain Park Camping Trip 6-6-08

We went camping at Stone Mountain Park this past weekend. We were supposed to go with another couple but their little boy broke his arm :( so we're going to wait and go with them later this summer hopefully. Anyways, we didn't camp but two days because it was really hot! I didn't take any pictures of the train ride, the Duck ride, or the mountain because I left the camera at the campsite! Oops! These are pics of the Antebellum Plantation and farmyard that I did remember to take the camera to. We'll have more pics to show when we go back later this year. Enjoy!
