Dear Samuel, Month 39

Dear Samuel,

You amaze me each day with what you say and do. There have been many days lately when I just laugh out loud at the surprising things you say. You are turning into such a handsome boy!


You started playing soccer at the YMCA this month. You absolutely LOVE it. The first time you weren't so sure about only playing with one ball -  you wanted your own. After practicing and a few more tries, you quickly got the hang of it. You love to just run around and around. Most of the time you have no idea where the soccer ball is, but you don't care. This week, however, you kicked the ball a few times so I think you're getting the hang of it. Your daddy & I love to watch you having so much fun. Each week we ask if you want to play soccer again and you say YES! No matter what you do or where you go in life, your daddy & I will be your biggest fans!!


Love,
Mommy

Dear Olivia,

You are just too cute! You can now stand on your own for a few seconds. In a matter of weeks you will be taking that first step! You love to laugh and play with your brother. It is hard to believe that in less than a month, we'll be celebrating your first birthday! You just started saying "cat"!! You love your cat, Beren!
I love you sweetie!

Dear Samuel, Month 38

Dear Samuel,

You are really close to being fully potty trained. The end is finally near!

You love your magnetic calendar! We talk a lot about what month it is, what day of the week it is and the date. You were so excited when February was over and it was March. You talked for a week that March was coming. You know all the months and days of the week. Mommy & daddy are so proud of you!

Your favorite game these days is Chutes & Ladders. You enjoy playing with mommy or daddy but you also enjoy playing by yourself as well.

Here's a picture of you with part of your calendar in the background.
I love you buddy!

Dear Olivia, Month 10

Dear Olivia,

You are so happy most days and such a joy to be around. You melt mommy's heart when you look up at me and grin from ear to ear. You sure love your daddy! When he comes home for dinner, you bounce up and down and blab until he picks you up. You love to climb all over daddy when he is sitting on the ground.

You just started climbing stairs! We had to get out the gate at the bottom of the basement stairs so you won't climb up them. I let you climb up them the first time to see how far you could make it and you were up four stairs before I knew it! You are a girl on the move.

You will sure keep mommy & daddy busy this month chasing you around!

Love,
Mommy
