Sammy's Big Boo-boo

Last Sunday Sam burned two of his fingers on a crock-pot. I was carrying him in a carrier on my stomach while I was cooking. I was reaching for a knife and I did want him to grab the knife so I leaned the opposite way which happened to put him close enough to the crock-pot. The next thing I knew he was screaming and his fingers had already started to blister. I was so heart sick that I had hurt my little baby!!!! After running it under cool water for about 20 minutes he had calmed down. The blister ended up getting a little bigger than this before it popped while he was playing with a soft duck. He kept taking the band-aid off and tried to eat it. One time he started choking on it. We now keep a sock covering the band-aid at all times. It is healing really nicely and so is my heart.

Sammy is 6 months old!!!!

All right, so he is actually closer to 7 months than 6 months at this point. I'm a little behind, however, not as bad as some. You know who you are!!!!!!

I just love this sweet little man so much! He is just about as perfect as you can get! He is so sweet, calm, and quiet (unless he is tired, bored, or really happy)
Sammy's stats:
Weight: 15.5 lbs 15-20% (this was over a month ago; we had to do his check up a little early- he is over 16 lbs now)
Height:26.5 50% (also a little taller than this)
Hair: Mostly bald but with a reddish tint
Teeth: None
Eyes: Brown

Things That Sam Can Do:

• Hiss like a snake
• Suck on his toes
• will only stay on his belly if he is watching TV (and he only lasts about 5 min before flipping over, he really hates his belly-without the TV it is only about 10 seconds)
• Gives hugs and kisses
• Doesn't sleep through the night (he is still in the bassinet in our room, although he has just about outgrown it)
• Sits by himself for about 15 seconds
• Loves to spit
• Flaps his arms like a penguin
• He loves it when you jump and clap
• Extremely ticklish on his ribs and inner thigh
• Does the saddest little face when he cries
• Always has a booger in his nose
• Likes to sleep with a blanket over his head (this one is a little scary. He has a really hard time falling asleep without it, so I usually give it to him and then take it away during the night.)
