Summer is finally here and we are loving it! Sam loves being outside, swinging on the swings or taking walks. He is getting such a cute personality - he is a big flirt and smiles at everyone who talks to him. It is so fun to hear him discovering his voice, he "talks" all the time and laughs and giggles at things. Every day brings another delight for him, it's just a fabulous thing to see!
Sam finally got to meet Auntie Cristy, Uncle Jack and cousins Lexie and Ally a couple of weeks ago when they visited from Arizona. He spent Thursday afternoon with Auntie Cristy and they are now fast friends! He loves playing with Lexie and Ally and Lexie has promised to help babysit next year when they come to visit!
Last week I had a conference in Grand Rapids for four days so Sam came with me along with Veronic to serve as a babysitter. It worked out really great, and they had a really good time together. Even though the weather didn't cooperate too much, we still got some walks in and they had a great time playing together.
This past weekend was Matt's family reunion and Sam made some new friends. He got to spend a lot of time outside and played with the cousins. He also spent some time with grandma while Mom & Dad when fishing in the evening.
Just within the past week, Sam has been really doing well at sleeping through the night, now going to bed between 8 and 9 and not waking up until 6 or 7 for a feeding. It's still really weird and I still wake up around 2 or 3 expecting him to be awake! Sometimes he'll get a little restless during the night, but he calms really quickly and goes back to sleep. It's awesome!
The other big news this past week is the presence of two new teeth! The first one came through on Wednesday afternoon while we were in Grand Rapids, and the second just made it's way through yesterday at Grandma Erickson's - which explained the no napping and crankiness at bath time :)
It's such a fun time in Sam's life - we can't get enough of him!
