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.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

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.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
