Spring is in the air

Sam likes the Carolina Jasmine

Two of Sam's favorite things... his wagon and sandbox

Practicing for the ultimate sandbox... the beach!

Feeding cornbreak to the ducks at the Museum

(After throwing it, Sam will pick up chunks of cornbread

and eat it if they do not come and get it quick!)

Fun at the Museum with TaoTao and Juliana

Sam is really enjoying this nice warm weather. He is definitely an outside boy. He loves playing in his sandbox, pushing and riding in his wagon, playing on the slide, kicking his ball, and now his new favorite pastime... hunting Easter eggs!! He loves to find them, put them in a basket, then laugh hysterically while he dumps them on the ground and they roll everywhere! Easter is my favorite time of the year and we are so excited about sharing this very special holiday with Sam. As he gets older he will understand the true meaning of Easter and the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus Christ did for us up on that cross and the miraculous resurrection that followed. We cannot wait to share our faith with Sam. He is so cute when we say our prayers. When say amen.. he always throws his arms up in the air and yells "Yeah"! We are going to visit Sam's Nai-Nai and Pop-Pop for Easter and we will post pictures later. Last week was spring break and we had a play date with Juliana, Madilyn, and TaoTao at the Museum of Fine Arts. He also spent alot of time with Mimi and PawPaw. Oh by the way.... thank you Aunt Tami for the Easter care package you sent Sam.... he loved the marshmallow bunnies/chicks and the books. Sam has been growing and is getting taller. He weighs about the same, but his pants are getting shorter. He continues to pick up new words (you have to listen close to understand him) except when he says "ByeBye"... that is strong and has the cutest southern accent to it! Last week he put together a two word sentence twice. He said "Da-Da Bye Bye" and "Da-Da Bath". He has started saying "Mama" more and seems to enjoy saying it when he wants something!
