Whew! Today is the last day of my Christmas vacation. It's been pretty exciting. I spent a lot of time with Sam. He's a super kid and we had a lot of fun. I also have even more respect for Jamie for taking care of him every day. Hard work too!

I got a digital camera ordered for me as my Christmas present. I can't wait until it's here. Supposedly, it can take still shots too. Expect a bunch of photos appearing on our site.



Christmas approaches quickly

Christmas approaches quickly. I'm in the middle of a two week vacation, spending a lot of time with Sam. At the moment, Jamie's off at the coast with Seraph, enjoying her first full day away from Sam (a mini-Christmas present of mine).

Sam's still growing. He walks very well, and is able to do a bunch of new things (feed himself with a spoon, go up/down stairs, climb up on couches, etc.). He's also getting very verbal. He learned the word "onion" this morning. He also has a new game where he'll hide something, come up to me and shrug saying "ein" (short for "I don't know"), then go back and find it again.

It's been nice to take the time off work, though it's a very different schedule indeed. Instead of assisting customers with computer problems, I've been assisting Sam with his diapers. Still, he's a great boy and it's fun to be around him.

Just got and finished Planescape: Torment, all within a few days. It was a great game. The story itself was intriguing - your main character starts out dead, and it improves from there.

I'm still plugging away at Ultima IX. It's still pretty good, though it didn't draw me as much as Planescape: Torment. Still, it's the last of the series that started when I was in my early teens. I feel obligated to finish it up.

So many new words I can't list them all! Rattle, water, truck, are among the favorites. He's a whole new boy with this walking around thing, and he loves going up and down the stairs (saying up down up down all the way!) He likes the lights on the Christmas tree, too. Fortunately we put the tree on a table, so he can't reach all those pretty "Balls".



Sam had his one year doctor visit today

Sam had his one year doctor visit today. The Dr. was AMAZED at his vocabulary... even taught Sam some brand new words right in the office. Sam is learning so fast, Adam taught him how to blow on the bubble wand as I sit here typing this. The unpleasant part of the Dr. visit was of course three shots (for the first time in the arm...which must hurt more than the leg because Sam really cried). Sam is 21 pounds (25th percentile) and 30 inches (50th percentile) and in excellent health. He has also weaned himself from breastfeeding and is walking. I guess he took this transition to toddlerhood thing seriously!
