Double the Fun

Samuel has been having a lot of fun lately with his two new friends. Our neighbors down the block have twin girls just a month older than Sam and he can't get enough of them. Its funny, she dresses them the same and so the first time he would go to one and then turn around and see the other one and smile. We have been trying to have weekly play dates so I can watch Samuel and see if he tries to bite anyone (which he hasn't, YEAH!) and for her girls to start spending time with more kids since they stay home and its hard for her to get out with twins, can you imagine its tough enough with one that wants to get out and go everywhere I can't imagine two 14 month olds. Sophia and Lauren have a basement of toys just for them, its like an activity center, and Sam gets so excited to see all of their toys, and when we come home he looks at his toys like old shoes, its so sad - one reason we are so excited to have our basement done and space for Samuel to run around and put up his big toys we have kept in boxes since his birthday.

With Valentines Day being this week Samuel had to make some tough decisions, he decided it wouldn't be nice to pick just one of them to be his valentine, so he asked them both (what a ladies man.) Samuel had a good Valentines day, he still doesn't get it, but that didn't stop him from opening all of his packages on his own and even got his cards out and gave them to us to read to him it was really cute.

Also, this past weekend his Papster (Ben's dad) came to visit. This is a great age for them to interact. They really bonded on this trip. Samuel sat next to him and let Papster read him stories, which he never does for us. Samuel even went to the window when he left, to tell him not to go (or so it seemed) we really wish they lived closer, and look forward to their next visit.

Some of Samuel's favorite things these days are moving the chairs around the house, pulling toilet paper off and carrying it around the house, turning the lights on and off, saying uh-oh, being outside and taking Sunday morning trips to WalMart and running around the store.
