Monkey Joe's!

Dear Sammy,
You are so much fun, you know that?! We took you to Monkey Joe's this weekend and you laughed and giggled the entire time. You were jumping around in the blow up castles, sliding down slides and running around yelling jibberish. It was so worth it to take you there, just to see you enjoy it so much. You're such a people person. You actually walked up to some lady and hugged her butt.. hahaha i dont know if you thought it was me.. i hope not, because she was rather large.. but it was still hilarious :)
Every day gets more and more fun with you, and I enjoy every second. I used to want you to stay little forever, but Im learning to enjoy the time and the age that you are in this moment. Its exciting to watch you learn new words, and do new things... One of your favorite new things is my new keyboard. You are obsessed with banging on it. I dont mind until its right after eating a go-gurt, then you get my keyboard all slimey :) haha. But Im hoping this means you will be a music lover and learn to play instruments and sing. But if not and you cant carry a tune in a bucket and you want to play basketball or tennis, thats fine too. Just not football. I already told daddy and your grandma, NO way on that. I dont want you to get hurt :( Mommy is a weirdo.

Have I told you lately how much I love you? You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'll tell you that every day until you say it in your sleep. :)

Love times a million,

Mommy

you're adorbs, Sammy...

Funny/ Cute things Samuel is doing at 14 months old:

1. waves goodbye to his bath water/ toys when he's finished with his bath.
2. dips his chicken nuggets in ketchup
3. puts my headbands on his head and runs away giggling.
4. sees a dog and says "dah!" (thats his "dog")
5. can effectively climb onto the couch and also get off without hurting himself! yay!

I love you, baby boy.

A Note To Sammy....

Dear Samuel,
Sorry I havent kept up with the blog much, little buddy. But I just remembered I had it because my best friend Megan is having a baby!!! (hence, I was looking for info on you!). Anyway... You're getting so big!! I wanted to start remembering things about you so I could look back at it when you are older and show you what you were like. Do you like this picture above? You're a chubby little monster.. but so sweet.

You are almost 14 months old now!!

You started walking a few months ago, and you are really getting the hang of it! The only thing is, you tend to trip alot. (see the bruise on your forehead?...poor guy!) Other than that, you are into everything you can get your hands on. Your favorite things are pulling on my fake tree, and trying to turn off the TV no matter how many times mommy says "No No Sammy!".. you usually look at me and laugh... you find it funny. Sometimes I think its funny, unless my favorite show is on, then I think its not that cool.

You're also eating big people food! But, like your mom, you are extremely picky. Your favorite foods right now are crackers, cheese, melon, strawberry, bread, and bananas. Not the most nutritional diet, but hopefully that will turn around soon :)

I wish I knew what was going on in that little baby brain of yours... I want to know what you're thinking when you put your forehead on mine and give me a really serious, but sweet, look. I hope it means that you love me. I sure do love you.

You know my favorite part about today so far? That even though you weren't feeling well this morning, the only thing that made you fall asleep was when I took you to bed with me and cuddled all night. I got no sleep, but I hope you did. You were so sweet the way you cuddled up to me and put your arms in mine. I love that.

Love,
Mommy :)
