Sam Man's special day!!!

As well as enjoying the best first birthday ever, Sammy decided today was going to be a day that goes down in history for him...He decided to take his very first steps!!!

I was sitting across from him on the floor after we had finished all the dinner and cupcake hoopla when he suddenly stood up, picked up his right foot and took a step! After realizing what he had done he immediately fell back to the ground before standing back up and clapping for himself. I was so excited and amazed I wanted to cry. He did it!!! I am so, so, so proud of him! He went on to try out his new found freedom two more times after this before he was too tired to impress anymore.

Sam Man also showed me a new skill I haven't before seen, (but apparently Matt has and forgot to mention it...Good thing I'm the record keeper/blog writer or we'd have nothing in terms of milestone dates!) the stand up and bust a move. One of his toys started singing a song and he stood up and began dancing! When I clapped and shouted "Yay!" he added some clapping to his dance...Geesh! Just yesterday I was wondering if he was going to hit any of his milestones and overnight he started doing everything!

Happy Birthday Dear Sam...

Adri tried to get a photo with the birthday boy...All Sammy wants to do is count how old he is on his messy fingers...

Look Mom! I'm not a mess! I can stay clean while I eat! (And it only took three years before I could do this!)

Adri wrapped her present to Sam all by herself...Bet you'd never guess what he got!

Sammy uses his telepathy skills to try to figure out what's in the completely wrapped box he can't see in to...
From Spring2011

What do I love best??? My loving family surrounding me on this happy day! Oh, and the wrapping paper and boxes that held the presents! Those are the BEST!
From Spring2011

My! What BIG teeth you have!!! Do you use those to eat cupcakes?
From Spring2011

Sammy gets ready to walk over to Adri...Here I come!!!
From Spring2011

We love you sweet little Sammy Man! Happy Birthday Buddy!
