Samuel's first voicemail

I was away in Minneapolis this week to help my friend Ryan get hitched. I got this call from my boys:

Shoe fetish

Samuel loves wearing peoples' shoes around the house.  He has also picked up Joshua's lego obsession, and prefers to play with age-inappropriate small legos instead of his duplos.

His vocabulary has gradually increased, and we even heard him said very distinctively "Joshua" tonight. But his favorite words are still: no, more, dada, momma, wow, & dat.

First Lego Creation

Though Samuel unfortunately chose tonight at 12:30am to discover his newfound passion for lego building, it was quite impressive nonetheless. Soon he will probably move on to building firetrucks like his big brother!

Snowball

17 months old

Words Samuel can say now:
ball, more, no, mama, nose, yeh yeh, ah mah, apple, babab (helicopter), Jay (Joshua), dada, cup, truck

Ah-mah and Yeh-yeh

Samuel loved giving goodnight hugs and kisses to Ah-mah and Yeh-yeh.

Even after they had left, he would still call out and look for them.

We took a walk to the local firestation to pass out cookies.
