8 Months....Already

We are just a few days from celebrating Samuel's 8month of life...post womb(=
Here is the low down on Sam:

Sam crawls EVERYWHERE and wants to walk really bad
He still Loves EVERyONE and smiles every chance he gets
He now has 2 teeth. His first one can in the week after Christmas.
Samuel Loves to play with the dogs, he shares his toys and unfortunately so do the dogs. We have most recently discovered that Samuel and the dogs also share food...ewe(=
We are working on ditching the pacifier, but Sam is not so excited about this idea.
He still Loves bath time and daddy time

We are so blessed to watch Samuel grow. We have many prayers and desires for his life, but this is the greatest:
3 John 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

The 7 month Circus

Joe and  I are proud to announce that we have kept Samuel alive 7 months now. In the past 7 months we have only made 2 ER trips, roughly 35 doctor visits, visited 5 states, only totaled one car, been through 5 clothing sizes and visited one water park. I think we are doing pretty well(=

At 7 months Samuel:
Can crawl backward and somewhat forward
He likes to feed himself and often refuses to let mom or dad feed him with a spoon
Waves hello
Loves to talk to daddy (in Sam's own language)
Enjoys just about any kind of adventure, weather its ridding in the stroller through the park, or chasing Duke around the living room.
Loves to play with mommy's hair
Wants whatever mom and dad have
Drinks out of a sippy cup
Loves to sleep in daddy's arms
Loves to wake daddy up (this morning Sam blew a raspberry on daddy's arm)
Still smiles at anyone and everyone he sees (especially the ladies)

Happy 7 months sweet boy!
