Sammy's discovery of the week: The ice & water maker on the freezer door. Luckily our fridge comes with a lock function, so he made one mess and we've been able to keep it locked and prevent many many others.


We have also started trying to include Sammy in story time at night. Andi is not a huge fan of this idea as story time takes place in her room, in her bed. But she has realized that Sammy doesn't last very long and at least half of story time is just me and her.

Andi feels very grown up these days and likes to be my "helper" for everything. More so than usual lately. Like last week at Target they were both in the basket. As we got to the car I took Sammy out first and strapped him in his chair and when I came back around the car to get Andi out, she was already out and pushing the basket back across the parking lot to put it away! I still don't know how she got out of the basket without hurting herself, and we did have a long talk about her walking around the parking lot without me and how it's just like a street and the cars might squish her.
Sammy is getting better and better at walking. I still don't think it's official because 6 or 7 steps is the max, but his balance is getting much better. It actually looks like walking now, not just falling forward and catching himself for a few steps.
We have attempted to start a little exercise group at the church building 3 mornings a week. I'm teaching pilates and we've been doing it for 3 weeks now. The problem is Sammy has decided he hates it and cries the whole time and crawls all over me and won't stop till we go home. Today I got through 1 exercise before he started up and then after 10 minutes without being able to get back to it I just gave up and we went home. I'm going to give it one more try and bring his einstein dvd's and if that doesn't work it might be over. So much for getting fit!
oh, and I spoke in sacrament meeting Sunday. Glad that's over with.
