Sam’s Mom

Boy - I knew it had been a long time since I had written, but I did not realize that it had been since mid-January.  That is just crazy! My little man is nearly two years old now. He will be two at the end of October.  In mid- November he will become a big brother. 

That’s right I have practically cooked a whole baby since I wrote last. The baby’s due date is November 16th, and it is another boy. We are actually ecstactic.  I think we both really wanted another boy.

I talk to Sam about his "baby brother" a lot - but I am sure that he doesn’t really get it. He will walk up to my bare belly often and rub it saying "dady" and "nice".  He even rubs lotion into his baby now and then and gives him a kiss saying "mmmmma". 

I am sure that his little world is about to get turned upside down - but for now he’s a really good boy and takes everything in stride as well as any not quite two year old can.

This post was actually saved as a draft in late March or early April, but I forgot to finish it or publish it!

Wow, it’s been a while since I wrote. Sam is 17 months old now, and going to be a big brother in seven months. We keep telling him this, but he really has no understanding.  Though if I ask him "Where’s Mommy’s baby?", he’ll lift up my shirt and touch my belly.

Sam is growing so fast.  He not only walks, but runs.  He knows how to gently "throw" himself on the floor in a fit of temper. he can go down the stairs on his bottom by thumping from one stair to the next. He knows numerous body parts and things around the house.  He puts his clothes in the laundry, dishes in the sink, and things in the trash when asked and helped a little.

I find him to be such a wonderful little man.  Once in a while I get some free Mommy time where his Aunt or Daddy, or some other family member has him.  I enjoy the time tremendously, but miss my boy so much.
