Firsts

Sam, it turns out, likes to surprise us by demonstrating his new talents in unexpected ways. This morning, Matt went to get him at his 6:30 a.m. waking time. Sam, like his daddy, is one prompt little dude. Through the monitor I heard Matt exclaim, "You're sitting up?!" And sure enough, Sam has mastered the art of sitting up all by himself. The other day he surprised the hell out of me by deciding to start crawling right there on the changing table. As I reached over to put the Desitin away, Sam decided he would like to play with it, thank you very much. He flipped himself over, popped his naked little butt up in the air and started crawling toward it. The "firsts" abound lately: crawling, sitting up, cutting teeth (good times), first pears, cheerios, first time in the play pen, first picnic, first grass stains, first in-grown toenail (still trying to figure that one out). He is one busy baby!

I love this little guy. It reminds me of a time when I watching a friend's little girl. I layed her on the full size bed so I could change her into bed time clothes. Why wouldn't I be able to leave her there for a few seconds while I turned away to grab her clothes? Well, I learned she like to roll and fast. I caught her right before she spilled off the bed. Talk about a heart attack. These little ones never stop surprising!
