Well, Mr. Sam has made it to 8 months old! And I can finally say he is a JOY to be around. Not that we weren't happy to have him in our lives before, but he has really started to be super fun and super happy the last 2 weeks. As Mike said, "it's like someone turned off the crying button!" He is full of personality and grunty giggles and big drooley smiles and we love it! So here's to Sam, Sammy, Sammo, Samsonite, Sammy-go-B, whatever you call him he is too cute!
At 8 months he is sitting beautifully for long stretches at a time. In fact, he much prefers to be upright than laying down or on his belly. He is not crawling yet, and we've started having some informal mommy/daddy PT sessions to work on his mobility. I know he will be mobile, and I will long for these days of calm, but we're working on it! My biggest concern is that he walks before he crawls. Then I would really be screwed!
Like his brother, Sam is a great sleeper and a great eater. He takes 2 or 3 naps a day and usually goes 11 hours at night without a peep. He still prefers veggies over fruits, but he's pretty much a human garbage disposal and would eat anything put in front of him. He is taking a bottle much better now, and is moving to formula pretty easily (woohoo for mommy!). As for Noah, he's been down with a fever for 2 days (can you tell how pale he is in the photo?), so we've enjoyed some calm snuggle time. Hopefully he'll be fully recovered for his big 3rd birthday which is coming up this weekend.
Noah had his first sleepover this past weekend at his cousins' house. He had a wonderful time following Nick around everywhere and visiting with Francesca, Auntie Kimmy, Uncle Frank, Aba-Aba (grandma), and PaPa (grandpa). I swear, these two could be brothers! Stay tuned for next week and all the birthday madness. All I'll say now is that Mike is making fondant to cover a cake, should be awesome...
