Story Time with Tigger

Sam is going through a Good Night Moon phase! He loves this book and will read it with anyone willing to listen, including furry stuffed animals :-)

He points to his favorite pictures in the story which include the fireplace, kittens, moon and red balloon.

Maybe it's the teacher in me, but I think these are the cuttest pictures! I am so happy that Sam is fascinated with books. We read together all the time but I think it's so important that he enjoys "reading" independently too (or with Tigger!).

Snow!

This is why I absolutely love being a stay-at-home mommy...I get to be apart of all of Sam's 1st's! Well, except for the walking 1st...oops! On Super Bowl Sunday I went into the kitchen to get a drink and according to Craig, Sam took 5 steps all by himself in hopes of catching me! I was sad that I missed it but he's made it up to me by showing off his walking skills lots and lots over the last few weeks :-) So last week we had a crazy mini blizzard for about an hour in the morning - Sam woke up and couldn't take his eyes off of the window since he had never seen snow before! He was babbling to the window and trying to touch the flakes, very cute! He stayed at the window until the blizzard stopped and within hours the snow was gone and the temperture was back up into the 50's...love that midwest weather!

Super Bowl XLIII

We had a quiet family super bowl party at home this year. Sam seemed to be entertained for the majority of the game, especially the half time show! Craig and I were laughing because he danced and clapped his hands the whole time Bruce Springsteen was on! I guess he's a fan? We tried to get Sam to use his 3-D glasses for some of the 3-D commericals but he wasn't interested. He would rather chew on them! We weren't really routing for either of the teams playing this year - Craig is hoping the Lions will make it to the super bowl some day :-)
