Big stuff

There are big things going on in the Sampson family. Davy just started taking some unassisted steps on his own, last night he walked on his own across a 4 foot area! I was so happy and proud of him! I do know that this means that he will be walking all over the place soon, but I am still excited for him.

On the fertility front, Kevin transported his frozen semen from one location to another. Now we are all set for our next try. I started my cycle and will be starting my daily shots tomorrow. I will probably have to continue them for two months. I will give more info tomorrow when I get my instructions on what to take.

1 year

Friday January 20th was Davy's first birthday. We didn't really get into the whole celebration until after his afternoon nap. Nana and Grampa Springer came by to celebrate it with us. When we heard Davy talking to himself we all came in singing Happy Birthday, turns out we must have surprised Davy because he started crying. Once he calmed down we started on Birthday cake. I made a small football cake for Davy to eat and a larger one for everyone else. Davy first picked at the green coconut shred grass and wouldn't really get into the cake until we cut it open and fed him some on a fork. Then we gave him some ice cream, which he really enjoyed. Finally near the end I helped him get messy by clawing his hand through the cake a few times, he finally ended it all by eating the cake off his fingers and rubbing what was left on his hands all over his belly and legs. After bath time came the opening of the presents. Davy got a lot of new toys from Nana and Grandpa Springer (most of which came from the thrift store), he got a piano toy that sings, has a microphone and a little book, a standing toy microphone, a little ride and push toy, a sled, and a few other things. From Mommy and Daddy he got a handmade stuffed zipper ball, and a VTech Learning Helicopter. Overall I think his birthday was fun for him. Yesterday I took him over to Nana and Grampa Springer's house and we went sledding, which involved us pulling him around in the yard on his sled. He really seemed to enjoy it.

I can hardly believe that he is a year old already. He is growing up so fast!!
