I feel like I write this every week, but is getting more and more mobile.  He’s getting into stuff all the time – he’s particularly interested in the living room rug.  The other day I came in from the kitchen to find that he had pulled up a corner and was industriously picking off pieces of the rug pad.  He’s also started pulling apart the dog’s bed when he gets near it, pulling at my laptop cord (so my laptop now has a new home), and upending his play gym (which will soon be put away along with his outgrown baby clothes).

He hasn’t quite figured out how to get from sitting to all-fours, but he’s working hard at it.  He also LOVES to practice his standing, and bouncing, but he doesn’t have much balance so he’s quite a ways away from standing on his own.

Now that the weather is finally turning to summer, we spend quite a bit of time outside.  Sammy’s a little nature child and loves to be outside.  He watches the sky and the trees, picks at grass and leaves, and is generally in a good mood.  If he’s having a rough day I can usually cheer him up by taking him outside for some fresh air.
