kids

samuel fulton,

it seems like every time i sit down to write up an update, when i type in your new age…  i just squeal!   how are we already here?  oh sweet boy there is no other word to describe you besides joy!  pure joy to be exact.  at  e l e v e n  months you sleep through the night and have started to split up your one long afternoon nap into two.   you are still fairly easy to lay down.   we wind up your mobile and you cuddle up with a blanket and you are happy to go to sleep by yourself.  such a big boy!

you are standing more and more but so far we have seen only 2 attempts at a step forward.   you crawl really fast.   you often raise both hands up and almost leap forward to get a head start.   you love to dance to jack’s favorite songs.  it gets us all giggling to see you recognize them.

 you  l o v e  to eat.   many times it looks like i haven’t fed you all day because you will eat it up so fast.   when you see something you want you give a very serious “hum!”  almost as if you are telling me “yes mama that right there!  i’m ready for it!”  you  l o v e  when daddy comes home, it makes his day when you go charging towards him and lay your head on his shoulder.   you are such a lover.    we are so excited about your first birthday party.  jack especially.  we don’t know what we would do with out you sweet boy.   happy  1 1  months samuel!

xxoo

oh yeah we’re there.

and it is  s o  much fun!  samuel at ten months you are really getting those teeth in.  what a smile you have.

you can stand on your own but you aren’t too sure of it.  you love to walk along and around things especially the coffee table and couch.  you scare me every time you round those corners so fast.  you are a crazy fast crawler.  you chase everyone wherever they go and whenever you see a door open you are in go mode.  you aren’t too crazy about being left behind in a room and you certainly let us know that.  you are a very good listener when we tell you no.  you also make a very good sad/mad face if it’s not what you want to hear.  you make many faces that always have us laughing.  you say “mama” “dada” and “mmm”  when you are carrying on a rather long conversation.  you raise your hand out when talking too.  it might be one of the top million things we can’t get enough of right about now.

you are sleeping through the night and taking one solid, afternoon nap.  you eat like there’s no tomorrow and i think i’m starting to feel it when i carry you around per your request most of the day.  you have me contemplating a second hair cut already.  you are a really good baby.  really.   you love jack and are happy when he is happy and sad when he is sad.  you love to dance to music, especially when jack sings.  we can’t believe we are only  t w o  months away from having a one year old.  oh my.  people say to enjoy it… it goes too fast.  i enjoy every bit of it,  probably a little too much.   i am also realizing that no matter how much i enjoy it, it doesn’t slow it down.

here’s to  t e n  months  little love.

xxoo
