Sam is 10 months old

Sam had a rough day today.  He has a cold, as evidenced by copious boogers and puffy eyes and sleepiness.  He got a big head bonk yielding a purply bump (though a daily occurrence, head bonks are sad).  In a poopy diaper change I found an alphabet bead like this (the letter "V") that he must have found in my craft room while I was printing Red Rocks concert tickets.  Yuck and ow.

 

But he's still a funny kiddo.  Now that mobility has been achieved, he's always on the move.  He crawls with one leg tucked and one foot stepping forward.  Sort of a monkey scoot.  He "pyramids" and gets up on hands and feet, trying to dog walk.  Crawling quickly escalated into cruising. He has bruises all over his body from bumps and falls.

Social interactions are coming along.  He sort of waves bye bye.  He claps and plays patty cake. He knows the signs for "more" and "all done."  I'd been working on "all done" for weeks.  He finally, clearly signed it while shopping at Target.  He saw me get out my phone, then put it away.  With a look of desperation he slapping his hands together saying "momomomomomom!!!"  Of course I had to reward him :-)

 

Sleep was better.  He was going several nights in a row from 7pm to 5:30am.  The fever last week and the cold this week and the teething in between have messed us up again.  I hope he can get back on schedule soon.  He also takes regular naps, one around 8:30 and another at 1:30.

He LOVES cats and dogs.  Squeals with excitement when he catches Jem's attention.  Also still crazy for his brother, obviously. 

The latest craze is putting one thing inside of another thing.  All toys and bowl like objects are experimented with.

Growing like crazy and capturing my heart!
