Getting ready for Santa

From 2009_11_25_Sam's 1yr pics_Xmas

I had a wonderful birthday a couple of weeks ago...and now that Thanksgiving is over, Christmas will be here soon! Mommy and Daddy took me for my 1year portrait...and it didn't go over very well. I was very scared of the photographer and would not stop crying. Luckily Santa Claus popped in and I got a chance to sit with him and get my picture taken. He was very nice, but I am still not quite sure what to think of his white beard.

I have had a cold now for 2 or 3 weeks...Mommy should buy stock in Kleenex because I am going through them like crazy. I saw the doctor for my 1-year appointment and he said I am growing perfectly! I also received 4 shots that day...including the H1N1.

I am really starting to walk now...I will take 8 to 10 steps now on average. I love to talk...saying Mommy and Daddy, bot bot, and lots of other baby talk. If you ask me to wave or say good-bye... I will wave and smile.

I am excited for Christmas and can't wait to see what Santa will be bringing me and Nicholas!
