Well, summer is coming to an end and I can honestly say this has been the best summer of my life. I have had so much fun with Samuel, family, and friends. I really don't feel like summer flew by like it usually does and I am thankful for that. Here are some highlights from our second half of summer:
We took lots of walks to go see the ducks.
We did several activities at home to avoid the heat. We played with cornmeal, jello, and cool whip. Messy but fun!
We swam, swam, and swam some more!!
We tried lots of new foods from hamburgers to watermelon to cherries...there is not much that the little man won't eat!!
We played and played and played!!!
We spent time with Uncle Rob, Nana, Granddaddy, and Granny. Such fun!
We learned to play the piano and the harmonica!!
We are in the process of watching "Shark Week" with our little shark.
Here are some things that Samuel is up to these days:
Talking- He is still just saying a few words: mama, dada, cheese, dog, I think he can say hi and I think he tried to say banana this morning. He makes animal noises for a lion (roar), monkey(oooh ooooh aaaah aaah), duck (cack cack), and pig (tries to snort).
Walking- Samuel finally took his first steps on Saturday, August 4th. We were at the ACU Welcome Center in Abilene and he took 3 steps! Since then, he has taken several steps a day. We're still waiting for him to do some real walking.
I am so sad for summer to end but I have to keep thinking of the fun we had. AND, the fun doesn't stop just because I'm working!!
