Safety First

On Friday we met David's cousin and her family at EPCOT. Before they arrived we decided to ride the monorail. Samuel saw David holding on to the pole so he made sure to do exactly what Daddy does. Our little Mr. Safety. Holding on for dear life.
Samuel is getting so big. He has 8 teeth now and is well on his way to walking. Crawling is still the preferred mode if he needs to get some where quick, but he is walking pretty well. He still goes to physical therapy every other week, but that will likely be cut down to once a month at this next appointment because he is doing all of the things that a boy his age (both adjusted and actual) should be doing.
He goes to speech every week. He really has started making so many different sounds and he is doing so well and eating or playing with all sorts of foods. Unfortunately, he just doesn't want to make any sound what so ever when we are at speech. He is so quiet there and then the minute we leave the room he is back to being a jabber box. He doesn't say words yet, but he is now understanding that words refer to things (i.e. he knows binky, blankie, nose, eye, George, Mom, Dad, shoes, socks, feet, etc) which is wonderful to see him now associating words to things and responding to his name!
Samuel is doing really well. He is sick right now with a bit of a cold so we kept him home from church and have been doing breathing treatments. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. Poor little guy - the only thing worse than being sick myself is seeing him not feel well!
