Saying Good-Bye to Summer

Wow, summer has come to an end and kids are heading back to school. That is so hard to believe. It feels like last week that we were just getting out. As the old saying goes, "Time flies when you're having fun." We sure have had some fun this summer. This weekend Nick, Sam, and I....along with the rest of my family went to see my brother's band play. It was their CD release party. This was Sam's 1st bar experience. :) Don't worry, it was smoke free. He actually slept until we woke him up to eat. He was a trooper. One of my friends had a baby this weekend. I went and saw her in the hospital on Sunday. Her sweet baby was so little....well, a little over 7 lbs, not much bigger than Sam was when we brought him home from the hospital. It was surreal holding such a little baby. When I got home and saw Sam, he really seemed big to me. It's crazy how fast they grow. Speaking of growing, Sam is right under 18 lbs now and 25 inches long. I was just telling several people 2 weeks ago that Sam had enough clothes. I can't tell you how many outfits we retired last week. Not to fear....I caught lots of sales around town and Sam is set on clothes....at least for the next few months. He is now wearing 6 month clothing and 6-9 months in some things. Sam's eyes look as though they are starting to turn brown. We're still not sure what the final color will be. Over the past few weeks Sam has been making lots of new sounds. A lot of the time when he starts to get upset, he says ah-ma ah-ma ah-ma. It sounds a lot like ma ma. :) Also, the other day he said ah-da-dee. I haven't heard him say that again. We're not officially saying Sam can say ma-ma and da-dee, but it sure does sound like he's getting close to the real thing. :)
