Simply Sammy

Sammy is such a sweetheart.  He's growing at warp speed and his wonderful little personality emerges more and more with each passing day.

Here are just a few of the things I love about my little buddy!

He'll get out of the van and then turn to hold Hannah's hand and help her out. He's such a gentleman. 
 
He likes lemonade and loves pink lemonade. Just like his mommy.
 
Our little cutie has a favorite outfit: his white shirt with the guitar on the front being the one he choses the most. He'll strum the guitar with his fingers and sing, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
 
He wants me to sing 'The Ants Go Marching {Three by Three} every night when I tuck him into bed. My fingers are the ants and they "march" up his legs and tickle his tummy. He laughs every time.
 
Speaking of bed. I was very proud that he shared an air mattress with Hannah while we were in IN. They never argued, kicked or whined. Amazing!
 
The phrase heard most often from Samuel is, "Where is it Mommy? Where iPod go?" He loves playing Castle Defender on Bobby's iPod Touch. He knows how to turn it on, flip the screen to the games and tap the one he wants. He's pretty good at defending his castle too.  (Not sure if this is a good thing or not...)
 
Sam is an awesome traveler.

His favorite movie is still 'Night at the Museum.'
 
I love that Sam still sleeps with his favorite snuggle buddy...Mystery.
 
He adores his Papa.  He's always right behind my Dad asking, "What you doing Papa?"
 
He loves his big sister and cannot stand to be away from her for long periods.
 
He loves shoes and has named just about every pair he owns:  Jackie shoes, Bonnie shoes, Keds, Papa boots, "Old Naby" shoes (generally named after the person who bought them for him or the place he bought them.  Very creative I know.)
 
He called Ryan & Bethany's dog {Vader} Gator for some reason.  One morning he called him "Alligator!"
 
Sammy willingly helps around the house.  He rinses dishes, separates clothes, makes his bed to the best of his abilities, and vacuums.  He'd use the Swiffer Wet Jet every day if I'd let him!   
 
There's much more but that's enough for now.  You get the point.  I have the cutest son in the world!!
