And he's off!

Stats: 6 months, 1 week: 18.2 pounds, 26 1/2 inches

  Sam the man is on the move! Well, I guess he has always been on the move, because he has NEVER been still! From a week old he was holding his head up, and as the weeks went by he was pushing up on us with his legs. So, we knew we were in for it. I kinda blame this on me because during my pregnancy I NEVER was still. I think I only took a couple random naps, but besides that I was putting in probably 10 hour days up until a day before I went into labor. So, I guess it is payback!
  At about 4 1./2 months Sam was crawling backwards. And, a few weeks later he figured out what crawling meant. He would get up on his fours and push (insert face to ground). Then finally he put it all together, and never went back. When we went to California last month he started pulling himself up on the couch. I was like, WHAT?! Hello child, you weren't even 6 months old and doing that. Please go back to the days when you layed there so peacefully. Now he enjoys pulling himself up on everything, taking off one hand and staring at us with his priceless smile. I am just waiting for the day that the hands go off and bam! A step. I know it is coming fast. TIme flies with the blink of an eye, that is for sure!
  At his doctor's appointment this week he was named the strongest 6 month old that the nurse has ever had to hold down. I felt so bad but the both of us had to hold his legs down pretty hard. He cried (tear), then I picked him up and he was fine. He would look at the nurse and tell her off in baby talk, look at me quietly, then back at her with his talk. He knew who the mean lady was! Anyhow, he is healthy and happy, and that is what matters most.
  Halloween is coming up, yay! We painted pumpkins, and did some decorating outside. This weekend we are going to go to the pumpking patch, Then the following week we take 6 month pictures. It is going to be busy! Not sure what he is going to be for Halloween. So many choices. I am going to attempt to make one..and then we can have several to snap pictures in. We shall see! Until next time...Ciao!
