Happy New Year, Merry Christmas, Happy Thanksgiving, etc.

So...there's a reason I've been quiet. I swear! It's called holiday madness plus awesome-but-wild-and-crazy-being-a-parent. From Halloween on we were sick, then we were teething, then we were sick, and teething some more! Add the holidays and busyness that creates - and well, I just never got to the computer to upload pictures. Why why does it take so long? Sigh.

Anyway, here we are! So, for updates:

We all had a special treat in November - Brad's cousin Chris, his wife, and their daughter Gracie (a month older than Samuel) were close to Austin for some training, so they joined us for Thanksgiving.



Then, we cut down our own Christmas tree! We got a Cypress tree so we didn't have to worry about the needles with Samuel eating everything he can.

 For Christmas, we got to see some very special people - like these guys!





 And Samuel also went to the zoo for the first time. He had a blast!


 Samuel still loves to eat and now feeds himself anything that doesn't have to be spoonfed. He can even eat apple off of the core! Those 6 teeth he has sure do help. I keep thinking the 7th one will make its appearance, but I haven't seen it yet. Although he just broke his two hour nap streak for a 45-minute nap today, so who knows?

He decided to skip crawling altogether and can walk pretty well on his own! He can even sort of run with help. He loves being mobile and gets more bold every day.

He loves being outside, and we go to the park just to run around sometimes.

Oh, also! Of course, he got some awesome Christmas presents - like this!

We hope you all are doing well!
