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

December 03, 1999 by Jamie in Sam

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!

We got a clip of Sam, a juice box, and a straw on video tape that we're going to send to America's Funniest Home Videos. It's a classic.

Sam's been walking a lot more these days. It's usually only a few steps, but he's getting better at it. Every day, he just gets cuter.

Sam's been saying so many words, we gave him his own page.

Sam took several steps last night. I was watching him play with a box by the couch. He pulled himself, turned around and stood by himself a moment. He walked towards to box, kicked it a couple times and finally fell down after making it across his play mat. Good job Sam!

I can tell he'll be walking for real soon. He enjoys holding on to our hands, walking around the house, and kicking any object he can. His two big words these days are "ball" and "cracker" (sounding like ka-grr).

I watched Sam tonight and Jamie went off to hang out with her brothers. While going through the closet, I found what we call the "Happy Fun Ball". Basically, you turn it on and it rolls around on the floor by itself.

I had Sam chasing after it, pressing it to his face, and watching it intently as he giggled and laughed. Oh what fun it is to be a baby.
