8 Months

Eight months! I can't believe how fast time is passing. Sammy is going full steam ahead! On July 19th he took his first step. Now a week later he walks all over his play fort. He walks between Sam and I. We are like kids ourselves when we watch him walking back and forth. We squeal and clap like it is the greatest thing we've ever seen. He is on his feet for most of the day. Sometimes I have to snatch him up for hugs and kisses and he wiggles away from me like a teenager would. When it is time to eat he holds still long enough to drink maybe half of the bottle I make and then he is on the move again. Church these days is basically a nightmare because he can sit still through maybe half of sacrament and then he wants down. We found a room no one uses and we just let him crawl during second hour. Then Sam takes him to Elder's Quorem but I usually get a text half way through saying they are driving around the parking lot. The "talking" is getting louder and more often. He sings and yells "Mom ma ma" all day long. He is so much fun.
