He speaks

-


On Saturday (October 6, 2012) Sam said his first word and that word was "mama."  SCORE!!!  It all happened while Michael and Finn were buying Halloween decorations.  Sam and I were upstairs in my bedroom "Goodwilling."   I was up and about moving all over the room sorting and whatnot.  Sam was getting really fussy.  I assumed he wanted me to pick him up.  Everything I walked away from him he threw an enormous fit.  Midway through I heard him cry "mama."  I ran over to him and picked him up and squeezed him.  This same thing happened over and over.  He only says "mama" when he is really mad.  But I am so happy regardless.

When Michael and Finn got home they hung the Halloween decorations. Then we put some brats on the grill for supper.  Finn a whole one.  Sam ate rice, grits and corn.  There really isn't anything that Sam won't eat - well that is except for baby potted meat.


As for the first part of our morning Sam and Finn were both awake by 6:30.  I took the boys downstairs for breakfast.  Finn watched Jurassic park and played with his Play-Doh while I cleaned the kitchen and den.  When Michael woke up I worked out and then the boys took a nap.  It was nice and chilly outside so the day was great!

The boys went to bed without a hitch.  Sam is so easy to put to bed.  The second I put him in his crib he rolls over on his stomach and goes straight to sleep and usually sleeps all night.  He is the best baby.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.
