Fire Tuck Parade

Sam is completely obsessed with fire trucks.  He loves to pretend his is a fireman and runs around the house pretending to put out fires.  It is really cute.  He actually yells "Sam to the rescue"!  He's also very loud b/c he likes to imitate the sirens. 

Our little town sponsored a fire truck parade this year and we had front row seats.  Sam even made a couple of friends.  I can't even begin to describe how excited he was when the fire trucks started coming down the street.  And that's all it was, folks.  Fire truck after fire truck with an ambulance and motorcycle sprinkled in.

Sam's first friend birthday party

We went to Sam's first party.  Twins were turning 2 and the party was at a local gym for toddlers.  We had lots of fun and Sam ate a lot of cake!

Big Boy Bed

Well, the time has come for Sam to move on from his crib.  He actually does great in the crib and had never tried to climb out until just recently when he pushed up on his arms and flipped out.  He's just too tall!

We found a twin bed we liked that had rails on both sides.  They can be removed so when he's older we can take them off and it can be a daybed with railings on one side or just have the headboard and footboard. 

He slept in the bed for the first time on 7/12.  I don't think Sam realizes that he can climb out on his own so he just stays in bed until we come to get him out.  He's done great since we moved him!  I'm so proud of him and sad that he's getting so big!
