Rough Night for Sam

It was a rough night for my little boy tonight. He got his nails cut, which he hates, then he got the snot sucked out of him by the snot sucker, which he hates worse than anything, and to top it off while we were holding him down to suck the snot out of him the changing table broke and he fell. He wasn't hurt at all, but it scared him pretty badly.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

A Slight Break

Due to the fact that HP can't manage to make a PC that doesn't suffer from severe hardware issues every three months we'll be on a short break.

Its weird that I used to not have a laptop at one point.

Crazy Coffee Sam

By now most of you read this know I roast my own coffee beans. It is a simple process wherein I put green coffee beans into a hot air popcorn popper and wait for the roasty goodness to develop.

Sam finds this process amazing. When he realizes what's going on I am then obligated to hold him over the top of the pop corn popper the entire time I'm roasting coffee. This is kind of a pain as he's getting heavy, and roasting coffee is best done by letting it roast while doing other things and checking in on it from time to time. Sam apparently never got the memo and feels its best to monitor the beans second by second.

I find it kind of hilarious as I can't figure out why he enjoys it, since he seems to be a little scared of it.

Ah well.

Sam got a haircut...

Sam got a haircut today.... he sat on my lap & cried. He would not sit still. Now I remember why we do it only every few months.

Lately, Sam has learned to:
stomp his feet (kind of.... we taught him, and he kind of runs in place- still adorable.)
climb down the stairs
feed himself with fork/spoon (kind of )
say uh-oh
babbles all the time, speaks---- even though we don't understand it a lot of the time

He has been playing with my old strawberry shortcake doll, and instead of hitting it (and us saying 'no') or saying nice touch (which is where he kind of strokes the person as softly as a 18 month old does) he has been patting the doll's back, like he is patting it... I guess he picked it up in the nursery, but it's really cute.

Random thoughts, but now you're caught up... also our camera is MIA, so hopefully we'll find it & you can see some pics
