Thank You!

A BIG heartfelt thank-you goes out to Lisa Donatell, Gatfly and Cindy Millin for helping watch Sam while our Day-care gal was off after her knee surgery. She was out for a week and a half and we truly appreciate these ladies pitching in and helping. Also Great Grandma Palmberg helped in the morning one of the days so Momma could go to the dentist...we won't be posting about the dentist...
Anyhoo, Sam continues to grow and surprise us daily with his sense of humor and his temper. He also had his one year appointment and measured in at 23lbs (50%), 30 inches (50-75th) and a whopping head size of 49 1/2 cm (still ABOVE the 95th). They reassured me that he continues to grow on the same curve so all is well! He yet again was not impressed with the shots and go VERY angry, though recovered more quickly this time.
No more independent steps yet, but lots of practice standing and walking with only one hand from Momma/Daddy to support him.
We also had a Birthday gathering with the family Aho- they will have to send us pictures to post of that!!! A big thank-you to them as well for helping celebrate with more cake!!



Big Boy sitting in the rocking chair "Old Grampa" made for him. He climbs in and out of this as often as he can...



I can climb into this chair too!



This toy is a Ball Popper- air forces the balls back up when he puts them in- Lisa from DayCare gave this to him and he can turn it on himself- he is very impressed by that...



Awesome!



Thanks Gatfly!



Quick, take the picture before the mosquitoes find me!
