Sam is ONE - already!

My little Sambo is growing up.  He is still very baby-ish, but this year has seemed to FLY by.  Here are a few picts of the Exciting day.

We started the morning with a "SMART" pancake (Grandma Heaton named these).  An "S" just for Sam.  He loves breakfast -- it may have to due with the fact he has to maintain that figure and sleeping 11 hours without food make breakfast a GREAT meal for him. :)

Then time for Cake and Ice Cream...

Sam was pretty stoked about his cake...

And the brother's loved helping unwrap the presents -- they probably enjoyed them more than Sam too!!

Thanks to Taylor's brother and family (that live around the corner), Sam had a fun little party.  No frills -- poor 3rd child.  Not even a home made cake.  

Some of Sam's 1 year acheivements are to name a few: walking, waving, throwing a ball, patty cake, a couple baby signs, blowing kisses, and saying "yeah, and no."

We sure love having Sam in our family.  He is such a cute little bug.  One year olds are a lot of work -- but so fun to watch and be around.  We cherish every time he slows down long enough to cuddle and give hugs -- not often.  We sure love you Sam!! happy birthday.
