Things I have noticed....
As I was getting Sam out of bed this morning there were a few things I started to notice and thought I would share these fun things with you.
When Sam is in a good mood, it is almost impossible to change his diaper. The minute my arm crosses over him to get to the other side of the diaper he grabs it and tries to eat it. Then he thinks it's so funny that he starts kicking his legs. It took about 7 minutes to change his diaper, but he was such a happy little boy, that I didn't mind.
It's difficult to get a good picture of it when I'm the only one at home and my arms and hands are occupied. But the first picture is of Sam happy when he wakes up and the second shows that he likes to move around.
I next tried to put on his shirt. This too is also more of a chore when he is happy. Once the shirt goes over his head, his little hands find it and he immediately stuffs it in his mouth. He sucks on it and smiles and has a hard time letting go as I try to pull his arms through the sleeves. So his clean dry outfit does not stay clean and dry for long. The little wet mouth marks along the top of the shirt are still cute though.
Again it's hard to get a picture of that but here he is sucking on his hands through his blanket (and watching football).
Our little guy, again, when in a good mood, thinks it's funny to suck the boogies out of his nose. We'll go back and forth talking and cooing and smiling as I stick the syringe as far up as I can to get everything out. His eyes get wider as I let go of the bulbs sucking up whatever is there, and then he tries to laugh. Hopefully the fun will last until he can blow his nose by himself.
I say "tries to laugh" because while sometimes Sam can get a laugh out, it usually comes out as a cough. He gets so excited that he forgets how everything works and ends up coughing...with a smile...and then smiles at the end to make sure you know he knows it was funny.
Sometimes he smiles so big that his face scrunches up, his mouth is opened wide and he looks like he's about to explode with excitement. This picture comes pretty close, but believe it or not, his smile gets bigger!
Because Sam also finds the camera fascinating, he forgets to smile when it's around. He will be laughing (coughing), talking, smiling one minute, and as soon as he sees that camera, his eyes get big and he just stares. He's very good at staring.
He's so good, in fact, that at my Dr. appointment the other day the Doctor asked me if we fed him espresso and then tried to have a staring contest with him. Sam won hands down. I don't think he blinked for about 5 minutes. This reminded me of Bugsy from bedtime stories. Sam makes me laugh.
Sam even looks cute when he pouts. I have not captured this look on camera as far as I know, but our child can stick his bottom lip out so far and gives such a sad look that it often convinces me to take him out of his car seat or pick him up or whatever it is that I think he wants. Hopefully he will not remember this as he gets older, because it's just so cute that I don't think I could ever tell him no.
This is not his pouty look, but it is still pretty darn cute! Grandma thought it would be fun to put part of his costume on at the pumpkin patch, he did not agree.
So these are some things that I have noticed about my sweet little baby. I hope you enjoyed reading about it as much as I enjoyed telling.
