Sam has lots to say.

Sam's vocabulary is growing in leaps and bounds. He confidently spouts words like, sit, elbow, Mama, Dada, baby, nose, eye, hat, head, up, on, apple, UM for Uncle Matt, Sesee for Aunt Leslie and doggie. We are also starting to figure out his foreign-sounding phrases, "what's that?".

Sam is eating more meals with silverware too. He gets frustrated but won't give up the fork. By the big, family Thanksgiving he'll be ready to eat turkey and pumpkin pie with his fork. We are going on vacation at the end of October. We will visit Caleb near his 1st Birthday and then go climbing in Kentucky. We are all looking forward to a break!

Sam and snow.

We got our first snow of the season at the beginning of October. It snowed for at least two days straight. We were very excited to bundle Sam up and pull him around in the sled. He loved it! When we'd stop to take a break he would fling himself forward, saying "get going Dada"! He also made lots of truck noises as he drove around in the snow. There were a couple of crashes as you'll see in the video.
The snow has melted but we are already looking forward to the next big snow. Maybe we'll build a snowman next time.
