The One Where We Tell Everybody!
Well, it's time to tell everyone the good news! We are having another baby!! I am due November 5th and we are very excited! We will keep you posted when we find out if it's a boy or a girl.
March for Babies
We walked for the March of Dimes this year to raise money for research to prevent premature births, birth defects and infant mortality. Our friends Marti and Jenn joined us and we had a great day. The weather could not have been more perfect and Sam's Team raised over $1000. We walked 4 miles in the Shelby Farms Park and enjoyed being with other NICU graduates.
Random Pictures
Chris just recently figured out how to get pictures off our new video camera so here are some from Halloween and when it snowed.
1)Can you find Sam?
2) He was a giraffe for Halloween 3)Sleeping with his pal "Jeffy" 4)Snow!! We got 3-4 inches and Sam made a baby snow angel.
Redbirds Game!
We went to a Redbirds game one Friday night with some friends-Lori and Cary Duncan (who just had a beautiful baby boy named Carter on April 22nd) and Marti and Jenn Neill. We had lots of fun even though it was COLD and I forgot to bring Sam's coat! (I know, I know-Bad Mommy!). Well, Sam got to get his very first Redbirds sweatshirt-haha! We had a great time and enjoyed being with friends.
Hangin' Out with Sam
These are just some fun pictures of Sam being Sam. He is definitely a Daddy's boy! As soon as Chris gets home from work Sam literally flies to him with a huge smile and a laugh. This just makes Chris' day. Chris got be a balloon for my birthday and Sam thought that was the greatest toy ever made. He put the clip in his mouth and carried it around for weeks! Then Chris got him a push-car toy and Sam can basically run around the room holding on to it. We tease him that he looks like a little old man pushing a walker! It's so funny!

Sam is SEVEN Months Old!
Sam is now seven months old and is very mobile. He can scoot or roll to anywhere he wants and he is trying to figure out this thing called crawling! He loves his Johnny Jump-up and he likes to go out and see his friends. He also likes to smile so big you can see his tonsils! He loves Bible Class and watching the kids in our group at church. It won't be long before he's running around like them so we are enjoying it while we can.
Sam's First Christmas
We got Christmas kicked off right in Gulf Shores and continued the festivities all the way to Jackson where Sam's Uncle Curtis, Aunt Beth, Cousin Aubrey and Cousin Rylan had arrived to spend some time with everyone at PopPop and MamaNise's house. The boys enjoyed playing in the exersaucers while Aubrey made a Gingerbread house. Then they had a little fun rolling around on the floor. We opened LOTS of presents and then Aubrey taught the boys about the Rockin' Santa Clause. We were sad to see our Garrisons go back to Erie, PA but we had a wonderful Christmas in Jackson.
Sam's First Vacation
We got to go to Gulf Shores, AL the second week in December with Chris's family. I know you're thinking, "The beach in December?!" but it was so much fun! It was a long trip but Sam's Auntie M got to fly over from Texas and drive with us. The weather was fabulous in the mid 70's and sunny all week. And since it was the off-season we didn't have to worry about crowds-we had the place to ourselves! Sam really enjoyed the sound of the ocean-he went to sleep everytime we went. But he did not care for the chilly water. We went fishing but it was really just "jelly-watching" since nothing was biting. We also saw a pair of cranes making a nest on one fo the small islands in the harbor. We had a picnic at sunset the last night we were there and the seagulls kept trying to figure out how to steal our food. Sam even ate some peas on the beach! The last day we were there, Chris decided he just had to go in the water even though it was the coldest day that week! Then he decided that I should go in, too. Auntie M told Sam that "Mommy + Daddy = WET KISSES!" We had a wonderful time and enjoyed an early Christmas with the Gilberts.
