watching him learn.

this last month has been a blast.  sammy seems to be learning at least one or two new "things" a day and his little personality is beginning to burst forth.  while he is still a bit of a late bloomer as far as his speech is concerned, he is making some amazing progress.  heather went out and bought him some balloons for his 2nd homecoming celebration, and has walked around the house ever since saying "baa-oon" every time he spots one.  he's also started to point out and identify things.  he'll walk through a store and point out elephants and make his elephant sound, then he'll babble as if he is telling you everything he knows about elephants.  it's amazing to see his little mind growing!  he has also become increasingly affectionate.  he now gives out hugs and kisses with great frequency.  heather dropped me off at work yesterday and we brought sammy in to see his grandpa.  as soon as he saw grandpa, he starting making his kissing sound and then planted one right on the old man.  what a kid.
