Sammy Update

Of course Sam turned 6 months old 2 weeks ago, but it's been kind of crazy around here!!
Sammy is now 20lbs. and 26.5in. long.  He's in the 90th percentile for both his height and weight.  (sounds really big, I know, but if you compare kids he's actually the same size Alex was at 5 months!  He is following pretty closely in the steps of his big brother.)  He's got two teeth and is obviously working on more.  His favorite foods right now are bananas and sweet potatoes, though he gets so excited he shakes when he sees any food or a bottle coming his way!

He's smiley, giggly, drooly, and busy, busy, busy. He moves as much on the outside as he did on the inside! He "talks" all the time, sometimes very loudly.

He loves to play in his excersaucer.  Sometimes he just sits in it and watches his big brother play with those admiring eyes and laughs at everything Alex does.  

He's getting to the point of frustration that he hasn't learned to crawl yet. He gets so mad when he is reaching for something and can't get to it. He would be so close to crawling if he could get his body to stay up in the air, but instead he ends up shoving his little face down into the ground. But you can already see how motivated he is.

Sammy was recently graduated from mommy & daddy's bedroom to a little room all to himself! I was tired of hearing every little noise the big guy makes at night but we just aren't ready to put him in the same room as Alex--he still wakes up around 3 or 4am to eat and I don't want Alex waking up with him!!  So, we had this extra "storage room" off the livingroom that we were using as a coat closet/junk collector.  I found out that the people who originally lived in this house used it for the nursery as it is just big enough for a crib and a nightstand.  Perfect!!  I made some little curtains to cover the shelf and window and a few little decorative touches and voila!  Sammy gets his own bedroom!

Here's the crib under the window...

The only decorative touches I had room for...

And the little munchkin himself, snuggled up with his blankie I crocheted for him since just like his big brother he wants to pull a blanket right up over his face when he's sleeping.
