I can't believe it's been a month since I last updated - this summer has just flown by like wildfire, how can it be Labor Day already?!
Sam is doing fabulous - he has such a fun personality it makes every day just a joy. He loves his bouncy (thanks cousin Julia for borrowing it to us!) and he can make that thing just go crazy! He'll jump and jump until it's really going, then he lifts his legs up so he can "ride" the final bounces - so cute!
His newest thing just this week is that he is starting to figure out he can move around. He's got the crawling backwards down, and today he was up on his hands and knees and using the couch to push forward. It won't be long and he'll be motoring all over the place - HELP!! I guess that means we'll have to figure out what needs to be babyproofed around here.
He got a new tooth a couple weeks ago, so now he has three - two on the bottom and one on top, makes for such a cute smile :) He's also started clapping his hands when he is excited and he loves to give kisses. Like Marcus at daycare says, "he kisses like a dog" all slobbery, but they're great kisses!
I've been trying to get a couple of candid snapshots of him, but he's such a ham that every time he hears the camera turn on, he starts getting all excited and clapping and posing - huge smiles, guess I can't complain about that!
Sam got to spend his first weekend away from Mommy & Daddy when he stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Goble while we went camping and it sounds like everyone did great, although with both Sam and Julia in the tub, Grandma might need a shop-vac to suck up all the splashed water! Bathtime continues to be a favorite thing for Sam - he loves to splash and bounce his toys in the water. Fun times!
