  1. Speak to me, Charlie

    Friday, September 27, 2013


    Sam's language is exploding now.  He says a new word almost every day and each one brings the same excitement as the last.  It's just been amazing watching him go from "dada" and "ball" to big words like "applesauce" and "firetruck."

    He is extremely friendly, greeting all of our neighbors with a big "Hiiiiiii!" when we go on walks.  Each morning, when we go to his bedroom, he pops his pacifier out of his mouth and usually says "toys."  And just recently, he said "morning."  He asks for his favorite movie "Cars" by name every day.  EVERY DAY.  And not only does he say "nite nite" when he lays down, but also pretends to snore.  It's hilarious...and he's really good at fake snoring.  What a kid! 

    Most recently, he's started saying "Teddy" (our dog's name).  One morning, I saw him standing over a hole in our carpet pointing and saying "Teddy, no!" over and over.  Even though he's responsible for the damaged carpet, poor Teddy wasn't even in the room at the time.  What's even cuter than Sam saying Teddy's name is that he's learned to make a kissing sound and pat his thigh when he's calling Teddy to come to him.  Makes us laugh every time we see him do it.

    He's also mastered many animal sounds and imitates some of his favorite characters, mainly Mickey Mouse.  Take a listen...

     

    We're very pleased with Sam's enunciation and so glad that his words are coming out so clearly.  He is also working on his manners and says "please" wonderfully.  Probably because it sounds a lot like cheese - his favorite food.  We haven't heard a "thank you" yet, but we're working on it. 

    Here are some snapshots from August including photos from Grandma Kramer's visit.
