11 weeks.......

(Taken by Meg Caton Photography)

old today! Where does time go? He's just growing so fast. His new thing lately is laughing out loud. We will pick him up from daycare in the afternoon and once we get home the laughing begins. I LOVE IT! He's such a good little guy and has the best personality. He weighed in last week at 13lbs 6oz. I was talking with another little boy's mom that's in the room with Samuel and he's two months older than him. She was telling me he weighed 13lbs 12oz. I thought that was nothing compared to our little guy who's two months younger and only 6oz behind him.

We would like to say THANK YOU.......

to everyone who has been with us on our journey to Samuel!! Without all the love, support, and kindness of each of you our journey would have been a struggle. People who didn't even know us stepped up to the plate to pray for us and make donations. Our co-workers and friends all stepped up to throw us a babyshower that provided us with tons of stuff for Samuel. We are grateful to ALL of those people as well! Last year proved to be a challenge and a blessing all in one. God has blessed us with wonderful family members, friends, and an awesome son! Hellelujah!

Happy Valentine's Day

Samuel says Happy Valentine's Day!! Thanks to Tonya he had the perfect outfit for the occassion. You can't even tell he's been sick all week. Poor guy has been sick since Saturday with RSV. We are doing the breathing treatments to help loosen up things and tylenol for the fever. I'm soo ready for him to get better. He's such a trooper and doesn't fuss much. You know he has to be feeling terrible. We sure hope this daycare thing gets better. These first two weeks have been no fun. I got the stomach virus the first week and now he has RSV. Maybe once we are over this hump we will be good for a while. We hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and an awesome weekend!

Happy Birthday to Chad!

Today is also Chad's birthday! He's a BIG 31 now! Poor thing had a sad birthday this year. Attached are a few pics. I couldn't resist adding those of just Samuel!

Back to work......

When we left this morning!

When we returned this afternoon after a long day of play!

and first day of daycare! Today was a sad day but not as bad as I thought it would be. Samuel had an awesome night last night only getting up for one bottle during the night. Our day began at 5:30 this morning. We got to daycare around 7:30 and I was doing good......until it came time to take him from his carseat. I knew that would result in handing him over to his daycare teacher Ms. Dee. I really like her so far and Samuel seems to care for her as well. I went by to see him on my lunch break and he just smiled and talked to me. He made me feel so good! This afternoon when I picked him up he gave me another great big smile. Ok I'm off to get ready for day number 2!
