Gavin (while reading to me the other night): Mom, I'm going to try that sentence again, but this time I am going to read it fluidly.

I guess I never realized how many goofy nicknames I have for Sam. I hope I don't do this in public, because I must sound like a real dork! At any rate, last weekend from his car seat I hear Sam saying:

Hi Punkie-Pie, Hi Monkey-Moo

I finally figured out he was saying Hi to the pet names I have for him - and that I must use way more often than I thought! So when I repeated them back to him he got a HUGE grin on his face that I figured out what he was saying.

And now we hear on a daily basis

Hi Punkie-Pie, love you Punkie-Pie, thank you Monkey-Moo all with his cute Samson smirk that he wears when he knows he's being extra smart and cute

It's Almost Christmas!

Do you like our new look? I love it and thought it was time for a makeover. I also re-titled because I thought that "monsters and moments" accurately sums up life in our house.

Monster: Sam sleeping fitfully and waking up every couple hours Wed night. And then thinking it was time to play at midnight! Fortunately he had a great night's sleep last night!

Moment: The boys have been sitting in my big red round laundry basket and love being pushed around the living room in it. Last night Gavin asked me to put Sam in so he could push him around. Then they both got in and I looped a rope around the handle and pulled them around - much easier on the back not leaning over to push it! They are so darn cute together!

Sam's ENT appt went perfectly - tubes look good, infection free, and his hearing checked out fine!
