These boots are made for walkin'...



Well, Samuel decided he was ready to disclose his newest trick to the world. Naturally, we agreed to do our part. He's been truly amazing his mom and dad with how much he is growing and maturing right before our eyes--even in the small things. It's amazing he's almost 10 1/2 months! It seems like just yesterday that we were hanging out between contractions, awaiting his arrival on the scene.


We thought we'd take a walk to the ol' DQ (Dairy Queen, for those with little knowledge of Hot Eats AND Cool Treats) today since it was so nice--midwesterners, skip this next line--IT WAS 65 DEGREES TODAY! So we took advantage of it, and got the big guy some fresh air.

He really enjoyed the few bites of blizzard he received, but we had to leave him wanting. It's tough being tough parents! Gotta hold the line, even when Samuel gestures(i.e. kicking the legs, waving the arms, arching the back, whining...) for more. FYI, we're still working on the clear method of baby talk. But it was a fun trip, and Samuel came home pretty wiped out. Mission accomplished!;)

Well, we'll write more details about our lives in later blogs. Without further ado--hhhheeeeerrrreee'sss Samuel! Enjoy!

Yay! Congratulations on your first steps Samuel! Now that you can walk, would you be up for walking this way? Autumn might join you a quarter of the way in a few months:) We're so proud of you and love you lots!
