Beach Trip

This is only about a month over due, but we had so many pictures from 3 different sources that I couldn't make myself sit down and blog. But since everyday I keep putting it off is one more day later for his 10 month post. So here goes... We got to spend a week at the beach with David's whole family on his mom's side. PawPaw and Grandma even got to go, and I think they really enjoyed being there with everyone. However, we did miss Uncle Butch who wasn't able to come. We had a great time and look forward to many more beach trips in the future!

(Warning: Lots of pictures; some out of order)

We spent most of our time at the pool b/c Sam did not like the ocean.

My sweet boy!

Sam did not like this, but his daddy was determined to make him!

Grandaddy and Sam

"Not again, Daddy!"

Entertaining PawPaw

Grandmerry and Sam

Uncle Michael

Worn out Baby Boy :)

Grandma helped a lot when everyone was at the beach.

This kid loves to sing!

Told you so :)

4 generations

I think Sam is singing again :)

Cousins. Baby Kipton will be here soon to play with, and we are excited!!

The whole crew

I know that was a lot of the same, but I couldn't choose.

"Mommy, can I eat this seashell?"

"I think I will"

"This was a good idea..."

"...until everyone yelled NO at me..."

There's my happy boy!! He learned how to really pull up at the end of the trip.

Sam had a great first trip to the beach!! He is a great traveler.

9 Months

I really dropped the ball on this one, but Sam turned 9 months on June 24th. We celebrated at the beach, so those pictures will be coming in a later post. Anyway, because we were at the beach his 9 month checkup was a little before the actual day, and the pictures with Jeffrey the Bear were about a week after.

Stats:

Weight: 20.8 lbs. (57%)

Length: 29 inches (77%)

At 9 months:

2 teeth

Crawling everywhere

Still very attached to Mommy

We think "Nonna" is "Momma"

Said "Dada" when looking at David (once but we are counting it:)

Learned how to spit out food

Can bite big pieces of food from his own hand

Sleeping (usually) from 8ish to 5 o'clock hour for bottle, then usually back to sleep

First time to the beach

So far pretty good at moving onto something else after being told "No" (after he laughs)

Still a very easy, happy boy

Since he has turned 9 months: (since I am late posting this)

Pulling up on everything

Can feed himself (even the small things)

Plays games

Everyday is so much fun!!

Wow...Really Behind!!

I didn't realize how behind I was until I downloaded the pictures from our camera. I had forgotten I took all of these. Anyway, Sam is getting more and more fun each day, and I could eat him up! :)

The day after my last post, where I think I mentioned he had no teeth, one of his bottom ones poked through, and the other was just a day or two behind.

Happy Boy!!

Sleepy Boy

The five cousins at my birthday day lunch at Richland. YUM!!

The yellow seersucker clan.

Memorial Day fun @ Pops and Mimmy's:

These two are going to have lots of fun together!

Big boy!!

So far summer has been lots of fun!!
