Sam Roman: 13 months

Little Sam is 13 months old today. So big! Here are some fun things he is doing right now:

He says "Uh-oh" with extreme consistency and frequency.

He often says "Dah" for dog when he sees one.

If you say "cow", he will reply "Mmmmoo"

Occasionally he will point to his nose and say "Nuh, nuh"

Last night I could've sworn he said "Sam!" and "Nah-nee" (Annie)

He waves and says "Hi" and also waves good-bye. Sometimes he says "Eye, dah" for "Hi, Dad"

He is enamored with Opa these days, and he will grunt "Oh! Oh!" for Opa.

He still eats a lot, but will sometimes throw his food on the floor. Or he throws his cup and announces "Uh-oh!"

He was bouncing and kicking his legs like crazy when we went to the JV football game last week. He was pretty pumped to be there and watch the tackles.

He crawls with super speed and pulls himself up on everything. He also "hovers", meaning he'll let go of whatever he's holding, stand on his own, then slowly lower himself to the floor and crawl. One of these days he's going to take off and walk across the room.

He's starting to climb up stairs, which is too bad. Now Oma must be extra vigilant (not me, since we have no stairs accessible to our kids)

He did the most fascinating thing yesterday. We arrived at daycare, and Annie sat down to take off her shoes. Once she did, Sammy crawled over to her shoe, picked it up, then crawled back across the floor to put the shoe away in the proper place. Then he did it again with the other shoe! I also caught him putting his toys away in the box last night, and putting all the little farm animals in the same container. I just like to imagine what goes on in his little head:

Oh dear, that shoe is not being put away!
Well, I can help with that...
(Crawl, crawl, scoop, crawl, crawl)
There. Now aren't you all proud of me?

He's an organized football lover? Looks like he got only good traits from the parents. Hello super baby!
