Walking!

July

Well Sam has been walking since July 22. We were at the water park and he just decided to let go of my head and break out on his own. I was so shocked even though I was expecting and hoping it would happen soon. He is getting better at it everyday. Hecan now go very long distances and can stop and start and keep his balance, but he hasn't learned to stand up with out pulling up on something first. He falls a lot, but hasn't nurt himself too bad yet. Walking hasn't changed a whole lot for Sam, except he is so proud of himself, but I'm definetly a little more nervouse. He has fallen and hit his head pretty hard a few times and those moments replay in my mind every time he is walking around something hard. Oh well, he'll get better and I will too! And just as I suspected, there are few slow and considerate steps and lots of fast, almost running to keep his balance ones.

Back from Vacation

Vacation

We made it back from vacation. We had a really nice time. Here's a list of some of the highlights of the trip.
1. Eating Beignet's in the French Quarter for the last time in a long time.
2. Shopping in Foley, AL at a huge outlet mall and scoring Sam some great shoes!
3. Driving along the Gulf Coast and seeing the beautiful emerald waters of the ocean.
4. Taking Sam to the Ocean for the first time.
5. Watching Sam play in the sand.
6. Swimming in the pool and staying cool from the heat.
7. Seeing dolphins in the wild (they came right up to our boat)
8. Eating some really great seafood (Sam loves shrimp too!)
9. Meeting some friends in Fort Worth for dinner.
10. Getting free tickets to the Rangers game from the guy at the ticket booth
11. Taking Sam to his first Texas Rangers game (even though we left early cause he pooped twice and threw up twice, I think it was the heat).
12. Grammy and Papa Joe sold their house while we were there! So they are ready to move back to OKC!

Since we've been home Sam has been sleeping so much! I think we really wore him out. The 11 car ride was not much fun and I'm glad we don't have to do that again for a while. However, it was worth it cause we had a great time and just enjoyed being together.
