Thursday my little man will be eight months old. As I write this I hold in my arms a congested, sleepy baby who can't get comfortable because he has a runny nose and prefers being held upright vs. sleeping on his tummy. Sammy the red-nosed Buddy, isn't feeling very well. Being a first-time parent there's so many experiences you never anticipate. Today's highlight was split pea projectile vomit! Sure, I knew and have seen Sammy get sick, but that's a disturbing image for a mother to experience. My poor baby! Thankfully this Christmas will be a quiet one, just the three of us.
Sammy plays as intensely as his mother works. It's funny because folks at work have often commented to me how serious I can get at times when I'm focused on an assignment. It's not that I'm upset, I just get really passionate about accomplishing whatever it might be. Sammy's the same way with his toys. He gets really verbal too, another way of expressing his feelings. We think he's around 25 pounds and we've had to retire his swing, his bouncer, most of his wardrobe and later this week, his infant car seat. When my mother and I went out shopping the other week, it was difficult to find any onesies or PJ's that said "Baby's 1st Christmas" in the 18 to 24 month items. They assume this is round two for little folk in these sizes. When I have more time I will have to learn how to applique.
Sammy continues to explore in the realm of food! He loved pumpkin pancakes (made with goat's milk) and a bite of Mommy's french fry when we went out for hamburgers last Friday night. Pureed split peas were a hit until the above mentioned incident happened. At breakfast, Sammy can put away a whole banana!
Sammy loves dumping the shapes from his sorting bucket. He will sometimes even bang them together like cymbals! He also has enjoyed exploring the living room in his walker. My VeggieTales nativity set has made it's way in to Sammy's mouth, he loves to chew on King Larry. During festive occasions, Sammy Claus has been known to make an appearance. It's always fun to take Sammy out so others can enjoy his happy disposition. He gets more hellos from strangers than I ever would and finds it very easy to make new friends.
