Sammy Super Genius

A few recent accomplishments:

Sam can identify anything yellow by pointing and saying "yeh-woh". He can also point to and say "star" when he sees a star (very useful during the Christmas season)

He says "Hi Dada" and "Up, please" Tonight he stood and hung on to the oven door handle yelling "Ope, ope" because he was ready to eat but the food was not quite cooked yet.

Sammy sat in a pile of books tonight, calmly turning the pages and looking at the pictures. His favorites are pictures of real babies. "Baby!", he'll shout.

He will gesture that he wants something, so you point to an object and he'll say "No" and wave his hand until you point to the thing he wants.

Opa is his favorite person. He wiggled out of my arms several times today to get back to Opa. It is funny to hear him say "Oh-puh" in his little man voice.

All in all, little Sam is a great guy. He can be very sweet and snuggly, but sometimes very willful! He and Anne have had their share of screaming matches ("No, Sambo" (shrieking) "No screaming!!" (more shrieking) "Stop it!!") (and this happens in the time it takes me to go to the bathroom!) But we love you, Sam Roman, and we will choose to remember your happy, snuggly times and not your turf wars with your sister.
