This past week, Samuel was a total mommy's boy. He would cry for her in the morning, all day long, and at night. He didn't want me to feed him, change him, bathe in, or even hold him. It was the first time he's been like that, and though it was nice to have a break from taking care of him, it was also very sad to not be wanted by him.
BUT today, he wanted me again. And it felt like that week, had been a year. I almost had forgotten what it was like for him to call my name, and ask me to hold him. It was really nice. I had missed him.

Our chatterbug
Samuel is a few week shy of turning 2, and Annette and I are constantly giving each other the "can you believe this guy look" because Samuel is just hilarious. He talks and sings all the time, tries to get into every conversation he hears, and repeats the last 2 syllables of everything Joshua says.
His speech these days:
over there!
gimme that
thank you
I love you
help!
airplane & helicopter (he used to call them both "baba")
ambulance
Obama car (the presidential limo that Annette gave him)
come here
Bob Bob (sponge bob)
monkey! (the baby computer that Auntie Celia gave Joshua)
TV
some (when he wants some of our food)
school (where he goes to pick up Joshua)
Tamuel (his name)

Samuel at 22 months
Samuel seemed to talk later than Joshua, but any worries that he had a speech delay has vanished as he has undergone his vocabulary explosion these past few months. He doesn't have as many words as Joshua had at this age, but he really uses what he knows:
1) "I got it!"
2) "Hold you!" = hold me
3) "Some" = give me some
4) "All done"
5) "Help"
6) "More"
7) "red", "yellow", "orange" are his favorite colors
8) likes to sing "Happy Birthday", "Twinkle Twinkle", the Korean grace song, and pretends to count to 5
9) his favorite items: truck, train, police, bah-bah (helicopters/fans/airplanes), boat, crane, backhoe, bucket, wa-wa, milk, mandu, pop (rice), mango shake, puffins, broccoli, cheerios, zebra, ball.
10) when he sees a fire, he makes a fire truck siren sound
11) He's a big ham. Annette saw him the other day, alone in the living room, holding a pretend microphone and singing for an invisible audience. He loves to volunteer at sing-a-longs to go up to the front. Not at all like his older brother.
12) He's a big animal lover--dogs, cats, squirrels. He got attacked by a squirrel today unfortunately while trying to feed it.
