Where Did (July and August and) September Go?

October is here! Sam is already sporting his sweet pumpkin shirt, while he continues to debate what he wants to be for Halloween!

Mom starts working again this week, and while it will be SO HARD for her not to be around Sam all day, Sam is looking forward to meeting new friends at daycare. He is growing faster than ever and doing lots of big-boy things like sitting up in his Bumbo seat all by himself, moving things around with his hands, and doing "mini-push-ups" on his tummy. He loves, loves, loves to be read to - he especially seems to like rhyming books and books with bright colors.

Here's an update from the little man:

I am getting so big! Now that I can hold my head up, I love to play in this jumper. It has lots of colors & fun shapes, and I get a big kick out of the fact that I can make myself bounce!

My VERY favorite thing is my crib mobile! I watch the chickens and the lambs and the bunnies go around and around and around, talking and laughing and kicking my legs the whole time.

Enjoying College Gameday with Mom and Dad. I'm comin' to your city!

Dad loves to give me the paper. Sometimes I read it...and sometimes I eat it!

Just digesting the news... :)

I love to sleep...

But when I'm awake, I am SO handsome!
