Our Baby Size Life!

Archive for March 18th, 2009

Hey people! What a crazy, sick, flu-ridden, ear infected, sinus infected week! Every since Sam’s been starting daycare, he’s brought home the whole array of kiddie sicknesses that one can bring back from a daycare. Kids really do share everything… and they then pass it on to the parents!  So, all that aside, I am, again, at home today with sick Sammy who’s recovering from a sinus infection. Yeah he’s doing good… the little bugger’s Irish! He’s tougher than nails baby.

Now, I know his birthday was about one month ago (already!), so I’m gonna breeze through the last part of his first birthday posts: the gifts.  After Sam had spaced out on the cake, we got him cleaned up and decided to let him use some of that newly acquired sugar-induced energy on unwrapping some gifts. And Sam didn’t disappoint with some very involved gift paper tearing… until all the wrapping paper was gone… Then he’d just crawl away, onto the next gift! So next year, we’re telling people to just wrap empty boxes!

Sam was spoiled as friends an family gave him some great stuff: clothes, toys, stuffed animals… and a huge, kick-ass kiddie play-set!  It’s got a soccer net, a basketball hoop, a climbing ladder and a slide!  I can see him having some good fun with this thing in our yard this summer!  The box was huge and Sammy-boy needed a little help unwrapping it, but as you’ll see in the pics below, he got it! Melissa and I would like to thank our awesome families and amazing friends for all their love and generosity!  We were even given a lasagna from our long-time friend has a gift!  It shows she knows me, because I can always be bought with food! And yes the lasagna was too good! SO thanks again!

That’s it for now, I hear Sam waking up from his nap and it’s time for lunch!

Take care and be good!
