Double digits

 Ten months ago today, this little guy entered our lives!  Part of me can't believe he's ten months old already and another part feels like he's always been part of our lives.  He such a joy!  Happy, active, smiley, funny...just a few words to describe our Sammy Doodles.  

 Sam has loved this nice weather!  He's such an outdoors boy!  The other day, we spent probably two ours outside and he was as content as could be.  He loves going for walks in the stroller or in his wagon, watching the neighbor kids play in their yards, and looking for birds and planes in the sky.  

 We're headed back to the pediatrician on Thursday for a quick check to make sure his ear infections are all cleaned up.  I have a feeling he weighs right around 20 lbs.  He's still in size 3 diapers, but wears size 4 at night.  Sam's wearing 9 month clothes.  He's eating pretty much everything we eat.  It's getting to the point where he has no interest in being fed by spoon.  I just hope he's getting enough food, since he still drops a lot on the floor.  

 Sam is sleeping about 11 hours straight through at night and takes two two-hour naps each day.  He's halfway finished with his second session of Waterbabies and still loves the pool!

 Little Mister is getting very close to walking.  He's cruising all over the place and walking with assistance from his "dinosaur walker" or mom or dad.   This week, he's started standing by himself for a few seconds at a time. 

Sam loves musical instruments (especially the marakas) and when we sing songs.  He's still not too interested in books, but we still read a few each day.  His giggles are absolutely contagious!

Happy 10-month birthday, Sam boy!!  We love you!!!
