2 Years Stats!

New stats: 33 pounds/2 ounces & 37" long. 97th percentile for height, 95th percentile for weight...and continues to hate the Dr.'s office a little more each time. Next appointment I might need back up to hold him down!

Counting to 10
Recognizing and saying basic colors
Can sing 1/2 of ABC's ..the 2nd 1/2:)
Says everything!...A talking machine and repeats everything too.
Incredible memory
Can and will mock you!
Great sense of humor
Doesn't want help, independent!
Not interested in potty training yet. However he cheers very loudly when Elmo goes in his potty! (thanks for that Kel!)
Loves all sports, watching and playing
Seems to do most things left handed right now

Sam continues to have lots of energy and cracks us up daily. Such a fun little boy:)

Yum...chocolate penguin;)

"Mumble" the penguin before...

"Mumble" 2 minutes later...;) And yes my 2 year old already rolls his eyes at me!

Santa's big present to Sammy this year was a new grill, just like daddy's!

Phew. We made it through December. I need to get used to December always being super busy since we have a December baby! We had 3 weekends in a row of celebration. 2 b-day weekends and then x-mas. I'm pretty sure Sam is wondering where his presents are this weekend;) Although very busy, we had a lot of fun and made a lot of great memories. This is such a great age and we're trying to soak it all up!! Hope everybody had a great holiday season:)

Kissin' Toddlers

Sammy, Tatym, & Adela during a little holiday play date!



The power of a toddler kiss:)

Ah well...maybe next year.

Christmas 2008


Christmas 2009..hmmmm very reminiscent of last year. Don't worry, he was only on Santa for 10 seconds and was then fine.


Milk and cookies made him happy again!

Two is the new One!

This cold weather hasn't slowed us down yet! The picture above is from last weekend with Aunt Kelly. Godmother Kele, Jake, Sammy,and I decided to hop in the car for a Illinois bound road trip to visit Aunt Kelly & Uncle Robb. And although a 5 hour car trip with two toddlers in the back seat had it's ups and downs, it was overall a great trip and we're so glad the Carnell's came for the ride! Thanks for having us Tadelman's, can't wait to meet our neice:)



This December baby is pretty lucky. Sammy turned 2 on Friday so Jer and I had our own little family celebration. As you can see Sammy really loved his new tent. Matter of fact, the rest of the evenings activities happened in the tent. (Including all present opening!) Jeremy started getting back cramps from sitting hunched over for too long, but the b-day boy wants what the b-day wants!! We can't wait to celebrate with our families next weekend!





The above video is from our Saturday tree search. And again, what a fun age!!

Another use for your kitchen strainer..

In other Sammy news: ..he used his potty twice last week!

Trick-or-Treat

This year Halloween was so much fun! Thanks to everyone that came and shared such a fun evening, cuteness everywhere! Sammy had such a great time trick or treating! As soon as Jeremy gave him a taste of what he was getting in his halloween bucket he was hooked! "more candy" "more candy" ...it was just too cute watching him go door to door. Hearing him say "trick or treat" and then "thank you" (most of the time) was so cool, very memorable for us. Here's our little police toddler:)











Sammy put his own hat on!
