10 months!!

10 months!

10 MONThS!!!  just 2 shy of 1 year!! oh my gosh.. i cannot believe it!! We have had a great month!!  It has gone by so fast I am having a hard time collecting my thoughts.  Sam is moving and grooving and constantly learning so much!  He is pushing his walk along and anything else that he can push, including the Tonka and his beloved wagon.  He is "talking" more and more and trying so hard to tell us things.  He really likes to point and say, "Da!"  This could mean, dog, dad, sky, leaf, fan, etc. :)  Sam is also starting to "share", especially with Kate. He gets a big kick out of sharing his cheerios and bread.  And so does Kate.  :)  He can hand me something, if I say, "can I have it?"  Of course he immediately wants it back.  I am also holding out hope that Sam will be more of a reader than his mom as he has really started to like flipping through his books and babbling, babbling (reading of course.) Our trip to costco today reminded me of something new happening this month.  Waving "hey" and "bye bye"  Sam met a few friends today immediately stealing their hearts with a floppy wave and the sweetest smile!  And one last thing, my man has been getting his groove on.  I have not yet captured his moves on video (soon to come) but he has been daAAncin!  When the music comes on, the moves come out.  It is hilarious.  Sometimes he will even wave one hand like he just don't care paired with the cutest bounce ever!  Oh, and one more thing.  How could i forget to mention green baby paci.  Sam found these infant/newborn paci's in his diaper basket and is obsessed with them.  There are not many hours of the day that he does not have one in his mouth.  The green baby even trumps cheerios sometimes.  :)

We spent a wonderful few days in Morehead the latter part of July 4th week and had so much fun!  Sam had his first trip to the Aquarium and loved looking at the fish and otters.  Penguins.. not so much...boring.  I have to say that I am not much of an Aquarium/Museum person but seeing the little ones so excited (sam and logan.. my precious neice) made it much more entertaining.  We also did lots of swimming and sam chilled in his pink pool police float.  K-mart was out of more manly baby floats.  We had so much fun spending some good quality time with the fam! 

4th of July in Morehead!
