7 months

sam is 7 months already. (crazy) he is a really good baby. he is always happy. (unless he is teething)
he now sleeps 8 hours (or more occasionally). whew!
he still has really poofy hair (picture above is evidence)
he can now crawl. (he looks like an inchworm)
he has 4 teeth. (with two more any day now)
he loves to jump. (he gives my arms a great work out.)
he is 90% for height and 25% for weight. (although we think he looks chunky)
he looks sooooo much like andrew. (we might start calling him andrew junior)
we love him tons. (so much we fight over who gets to hold him)

park city

we headed to park city after christmas with nannie, poppie and jo-jo to have our christmas with them. it took us a couple of days to actually make it up there due to the weather. it was sooooo cold. we had a good time just hanging out, eating, and playing games.

jeff took the kids outside to take these pictures. it was like 3 degrees. they were out there for about 5 minutes before will was crying because it was so cold.\

the kids had fun playing in the snow with cousins. i didn't take any photos, so i stole these from miriam. kaylee and savannah and their snowman. andrew was the only brave soul. even uncle matt was wimpy. he even did it twice, cause mom didn't get a picture on the 1st round.

Christmas Morning

Sam's first Christmas! He could have cared less:) although he did enjoy all the wrapping paper. will got his rocket ship that he has been wanting forever! it has been played with almost daily since, he loves that thing.

as usual Andrew was the first to wake up. he sat patiently on the stairs waiting for everyone for a realllllllly long time.

as usual kaylee would have liked to sleep longer but her brother couldn't wait any longer!

we had a great christmas morning opening presents at mike and tiffany's house. as usual the kids got way too much, and were excited about it all. later that day, mom and dad, matt and miriam, darrick and ariel, and chris and janet, and their families came over to mike's house for dinner. (we still had jo with us too) unfortunately i didn't take a single picture. we had yummy food, and all the cousins had fun together. the cousins exchanged presents and got to open their new ornament from grandma peanut. this is always a high light for my kids. they love their ornaments.
