The Light Family: Sam's on a Role!

Sam has been sitting on his own for over a month now ... we started to think that this boy liked to sit so much that he was just skipping the whole "roll over" thing. He officially rolled over on Wednesday 10/1 and he hasn't stopped since, he loves this new little trick he has discovered. He is so excited when he makes it to his belly, now he just has to figure out how to get back to his back ... anyway we are so pround of him.

Sam still has a cough from the cold he had a month ago, he has been waking up early in the morning having a coughing fit and it usually wakes him up. So he is sleeping through the night until anywhere between 4am and 6am depending on when the coughing fit hits him. Dan and I are getting at least 6-8 hours of uninterupted sleep now (again) YAH! Since Sam goes to Daycare 4 days a week he will probaly have a cold all winter, which means Dan and I will probaly get in on a round of the cold a time or two - Fun Times with boogery noses this winter. I will be stocking up on tissue (the soft kind).

Sam is starting to mimic things. Dan blows raspberries and Sam joins in with belly laughs to follow. I smooch (kiss) on Sam every chance I get and now he is learning how to give smoochies back to mommy ... Dan took some video, it is the cutest thing in the world.

I think our little man is ready to start eating solid foods ... I am trying to wait until he is closer to 6months old, but we are ready and waiting. Sam and I picked up his highchair, splat mat, baby spoons (turn color if food is to hot - totally cool!), bowls, and of course Rice Cereal at Babies R Us on Wednesday (my day off). He is starting to show the signs - he is constantly grabbing for our food if is sitting on our laps and he is interested in drinks - he can be playing on the floor and if I take a drink he stops everything to watch. So keep your eyes peeled for video when that starts. I am reading Super Baby Foods and I am convinced that I can make Sam's baby food for a while - just call me Martha Stewart ... I will give it a try and see how it goes.

A couple of weeks ago Sam and I went apple picking (first time for Sam and I) with our friends Amy, Ciara and Sean. We had fun. Below are some pictures from the trip.
