These Feet Were Made for Walking!!!

Here is Sam finally caught on camera, walking. He is getting quite good. And yes, I know there is a soother in his mouth - it keeps him from screaming. Don't worry he will mysteriously loose it when he turns 2! But he's walking!! Hurray! He is so proud of himself and he loves to snuggle.

Toothless!!

Aidan had a loose tooth. He wiggled and wiggled and wiggled it until finally on Thursday, Nov 27 it fell out at school. He was so excited to greet me at the end of the day and to show me his right of passage. His best friend, Brady, also lost the same tooth that day too, so they were both very excited that the tooth fairy was going to see them that night.
Here is Aidan showing off his wiggly tooth. Luckily we didn't need any string or a door nob - right Uncle John!!
Here he is showing off his missing tooth. The tooth fairy came and brought him $2, he was quite happy with that, especially when I told him that when I was a little girl, she brought me a quarter!!

Handsome Boys

Here they are, sporting their new dos.

Curls Be Gone!

So I did it!!! I cut off the curls! He was starting to look like a wild-haired child and Chris really wanted him to have a hair cut. So we gave all three a hair cut on Thurs night in the bathroom. Sam was the last and the most dramatic change. I think he looks pretty darn handsome though. For the past two days he has been rubbing his head wondering where his hair went!! He's too cute!!!

Sadly, they are related to me!!

These are my GOONS! Ben and Aidan were having fun making faces as they were looking at themselves in the view finder. They are too cute. Sam is trying to get up on the couch and you can see/hear how he communicates!!! I need words!

Caught on Camera!

Sam has started standing up by himself and is quite the tough little guy. He stands up and falls down and gets right back up again. He's quite proud of himself!! We also caught him taking a step. Also seen in this video is Ben doing his laps around the house!!

Sam is a ham!!

Sam getting ready to stand up.

HURRAY!!!! I DID IT!!! LOOK AT ME!!!!

Sam in his new jammies! Doesn't like the hat though! He needed new warm PJ's because he keeps waking up in the night when he's uncovered. I want a night's sleep uninterrupted!!!

Having Fun

Boy and their toys! Ben had been begging for some help to build a track, so both Aidan and Daddy obliged! The only rule was that the track was contained to the carpet. It was quite the work of art when they were done!!! Ben has been playing for it for 3 days! He even closes his door so Sam can't destroy it - oh how the tables have turned - it wasn't too long ago that Ben was destroying tracks that Aidan had built!!
