Busy Boy=Busy Life

Busy Boy=Busy Life

It has been a while since I've blogged. Sorry for the long absence. I'll just tell you that my world has really changed since Samuel started crawling. I can't believe it has been over a month since he's been cruising! He is in to EVERYTHING! If it is in his reach it is fair game! I'm not a super clean freak but my house isn't too dirty, but Samuel seems determined to find every crumb, lint, leaf and other unknown objects that might hide themselves in my carpet. Clean floors are now a high priority! I've also had to start using the "no" word. It's interesting how fast they understand that word, but also interesting how quickly they learn to test and see if mom is serious. I'll say "No Samuel" and he'll stop and look at me, then slowly start again until..."No Samuel"...he stops and looks at me then grins to see if I'm serious and then he may or may not try it again. It's pretty cute, but also a glimpse of the future with my ornery boy! One of the cutest things he is doing now is dancing to music. He puts one finger in the air and bounces up and down or if he is standing at something he will bend his knees or push out his botton. He also just started clapping so sometimes he claps to music! It is all SO cute! I just love being Sam's mommy and am so blessed to get to spend everyday with him! John has been very busy with work and we have been missing him, but hope that soon he'll return to his normal schedule! At Sam's 9 month appointment he was 22 lbs, 2 oz and was 29 inches long. He's in the 75th percentile and is doing great! Today he is officially 10 months old! He is such a blessing!
