Another naughty Sam video

I was tidying my clothes cupboard and i turned around to see Mr. naughty knickers doing this, so i grabbed my camera!

Here's Sam and Daddy this morning. Daddy is wearing his new uniform. Sam has been doing lots and lots of crawling and sitting. He's getting very good now. He is also eating like a crazy! Although im having to mix banana or apple to anything to make him eat it. Some of his favourites are: pea, sweetcorn...and banana. Sweet potato...and banana and yesterday he had courgette, pea, sweetcorn and ....apple!! haha!!

I can sit!! woohoo!!

haha..the 1st photo, while 'overexposed' as my mother would say still makes me laugh, it shows Sam in his true mischievous light. The second photo is Sams new talent-sitting up. He has been 'sitting' for a few weeks now, but until yesterday has always had to lean on one arm, yesterday he perfected the 'no hands' sitting. Its actually very useful he can play now (with 2 hands) and it makes bathing him MUCH easier. Poor Sam developed ANOTHER cold over the weekend. I suppose its because he is mixing with lots of different children now. He has lovingly provided me with 2 nights of almost NO sleep. I hope, hope, hope that tonight I can at least get a few hours in!!

here is naughty Samuel!!

I love my Daddy so much

This is Sam yesterday, sitting in his high chair watching. He sat in complete silence for well over 10 minutes, his little eyes following every movement. The intent look on his face meant only one thing....he was looking at DADDY!!

Daddy came home from work and mowed the grass, Sam was in awe!

I LOVE my Daddy

How Sam loves his Daddy. When Daddy is in the room Sam cannot focus on anything else, he cant eat or anything. He is constantly looking for him and when he finds him his grins from ear to ear. When Daddy comes home Sam goes crazy, flapping his arms and legs and just generally getting very excited! This was from yesterday when Daddy came home early, see Sams hand gripping on!

miserable Sam

Sam had a bad night, this morning his mood reflects that! Here he is demonstrating his 'girl cry'

When do children wake up??

as you can see me and Sophie spend lots of money for clothes for sam but he just sleeps in them all the time (Lazy like momma hehe)

aaaaaaah!!!

Today we found this large reptile in our living room!!

Here is Sam displaying his most recently learned talent - banging things on the table. If he doesn't happen to be holding anything, he bangs his hands on there until someone gives him attention!

Mr Crab, Mr Crab...

So, not much news here. Just plodding along nicely. Sam is still getting used to being more mobile as he attempts to perfect his crawling technique. Today we went for a walk with Nellie and her children to the park, it was nice to enjoy the hotter than hot sunshine (what a necessity the 'Shade-a-Babe' is- and they don't seem to have them here so Im sooo glad we got one!!) This evening we had dinner at TGI Fridays. Sam did his usual 'restaurant call' which consists of a series of high pitched screeching sounds which he seems to do EVERY TIME we go into a restaurant. I drove home as Bryan had a beer, we made it home alive...just!!! The picture shows Sam at bath time. He still cant sit up very well, so to avoid a bumped head I made this ingenious device, I slightly deflated his swimming crab and wedged him in it...he seemed to rather enjoy sharing his bath time with Mr. Crab!!

I was looking through some old pictures and found the ones of Sam and Thomas (my friend Vickys baby) This was back in July juts days before we left the UK :-( Sam looks like a right bruiser in comparison to dear petite Thomas!

Anyway we all had a lovely weekend here. It was labour day weekend so Daddy was at home yesterday, we just a lazy day and didnt do a whole lot. I will have to get a video of Sam crawling as he is getting better by the day!!
