Pumpkin Patch and Halloween

It has been so long since I have blogged that I have begun to forget some of the great things Samuel has done or places we have gone. Samuel has loved the fall and with the help of all of his meds. He has been playing football with the neighbor kids, riding his tricycle (assisted on his bike), going to the park, feeding the animals, and being home with mom three days a week. He has started to talk so much it is awesome to hear. Though Ben and I understand more than anyone else on what he is saying his vocabulary has exploded. He listens really well and then just starts using the word. He has started to expand his length of phrases as well. We get to 3 words now and you can tell he is really proud when he does it. At times it feels like we are holding a true conversation which is great. He has understood everything we are saying for some time now, but giving understandable full responses is new. Ben and I were discussing that it is amazing on how almost overnight he has turned from a baby/toddler to a young boy that has his own STRONG opinions, likes and dislikes and relaxed fun personality. This couldn't have come at a better time with the new addition to the family. Samuel is ready to be a true BIG brother and an amazing one at that.
Here are some pics from October and his Halloween costume from last night, this was not his original costume but the only thing we could get him to keep on.
















We had so many adventures over the last month, and had such a great time just the three of us, enjoying Samuel and his amazing personality all the way until October 26th at 9:51pm when his sister Sydney decided to join our family and we became the 4 of us. She is all we wished for and more, we are truly a blessed family. Pictures and updates on her will come soon!
