• Samuel, you are the sweetest baby.  You are sometimes stingy with your smiles, but when you do smile it lights up the room.
• You have the sweetest laugh, and sometimes you will just start laughing at us for no apparent reason
• You still have little to no hair.  It is starting to kind of come in, and it looks like it may be more like your dad's hair.  It is still kinda fuzzy and it stick straight up out of your head.
• You love your big brother. We like to go for walks in the double stroller, and you are content just sitting next to him.  If you hear his voice in the room, nobody else matters
• You wear your hearing aids pretty well.  You have only recently started taking them out and chewing on them.  You seem to jabber a little more when they are in, but otherwise you are a pretty quiet baby and only talk when you want something
• You have two bottom teeth and you like to chomp on anything that comes near your mouth
• You are still nursing.  You usually eat when you wake up, 3 hours later before nap, when you wake up from your nap, a couple hour later when you nap again, when you wake up from your second nap, and before bed (same schedule for bottle)
• You have starting doing solids at meal times.  We have tried rice cereal, sweet potatoes, bananas,  and peas.  You have only seemed to dislike the peas so far :)
• You were sleeping through the night (9pm-7am) but then you got sick and got your teeth in.  Lately you have been getting up around 3am to eat
• You have started enjoying watching baby Einstein's and baby babble with your brother
• You love to jump in your jumper and play on the floor on your activity mat
• You roll like a pro and flail your arms and legs like crazy when you are on the ground in attempt to move around.  

You love to swing

My little hunk
