I was wrong....

For some unknown reason, I thought things would get easier the older Sam got. Boy was I ever wrong!! Now that the kid is mobile I have to watch him constantly! He's in to EVERYTHING. But it's so much fun to play with him and watch him learn and grow and become this cute little person. Next week he will be 10 months old. Where has the time gone? He is such a "talkative" little guy. Some days I want to just change my name because all I hear when I get home is "Momma, Momma, Momma". He does, however like to go searching for daddy and will crawl over to the door and jabber "Dadda, dadda" the whole time. He loves playing with the dogs and stealing their toys and teasing them. I have no doubt he'll be walking before he turns 1. He's standing, unsupported, more and more and becomes more confident by the day. He now has 4 teeth and try as I may, he just won't let me get any pictures of them. So, you'll just have to take my word for it. :-)

Sam LOVES going outside and couldn't care less if it's snowing or raining or windy or just plain cold, he wants/has to be outside! He's such his father's child.

He wants SO bad to go out there....but it's raining and snowing today and he's got a cold.

He likes having photo time with mommy. Or at least that's what I tell him. :-)

He can entertain himself very well

There aren't very many pictures of Sam and Mommy....but here's one of my favs

And last but not least....Kristi this one's for you...

Happy Half-Birthday, Sam!!

I cannot believe that my little guy is already 6 months old! Seriously, where has the time gone. I look at my little sweetheart, still remembering the day I found out we were pregnant, and marvel at the beautiful little boy we have created. It brings tears to my eyes. Sam had his 6 month check up today. Besides the fact that he is a small buckaroo, he's doing fantastic!!

Height/Length: 26"

Weight: 15 lbs 5 oz

See, just a little guy!! But I guess that also means he'll be wearing his 3-6 month clothes for even longer now! hehehe. Here are some of the milestones our little man has achieved in his first 6 months:

• I can roll over from tummy to back

• I can sit, by myself, for about 10 seconds

• I "talk" when I think no one is paying any attention to me

• I have said Dada and Moma and blah blah

• I can stand by myself as long as I am holding on to something (mom's legs, arms, hands)

• I LOVE to eat my squash

And so you can all enjoy how super active he is, I have added a video I took just last night of Sam trying his hardest to become mobile. I swear he is going to just propel himself forward and skip the whole crawling thing altogether!
