Hello everyone - can you say first day of spring?! We are so excited for the snow melt and warm weather, we can't wait to play outside more! Sam started walking a couple of weeks ago and hasn't looked back yet. He's doing really well, actually pretty steady for walking for only such a short time. He'll still crawl if he wants to get somewhere really fast, but he's starting to pick up speed on his walking too. He always look so proud of himself when he's walking, just a real ham! With the warm weather, we've made several walks to the park to hit the swings in the last week. We've also taken the opportunity to play out in the yard and Sam just loves being outside. We got to go sledding at Uncle Joe & Aunt Brenda's house with the cousins a few weeks ago before the snow went away and he really enjoyed that. As you can see, he's been cheering for Daddy's alma mater when the Sioux are playing hockey the last two weekends, so Dad's been pretty excited about that. Sam loves to "help" empty and load the dishwasher, open and close the doors and fold the laundry. Amazing how long it can take to fold a load of laundry when you have to do it three times :)
