The Stealth Bunny

So Sammy has become INSANE the last few weeks. He's constantly climbing, or pulling things down, or taking things apart. He's like the energizer bunny, only stealth. He's so stinkin quiet that I think he hasn't moved from where I left him, when I turn around he's gone. His new favorite thing to do, that he does at least 5 times a day is this.


He climbs on the couch and pulls the back pillows off. I took this picture because I thought it was cute that he got this one cushion off, but then he proceeded to pull them off both couches and now, like I said it's a daily ritual. And he is always proud of himself for doing it.

This was annoying because after the fourth time that day I pulled him off the drawer I couldn't get it back in. He had busted the bottom out of the drawer and Thad had to put it back together.


And this I'm sure is going to result in having to get new blinds. Ugh, do they make baby gates for couches?
He's seriously crazy. He is not talking yet, but he has started making all kinds of weird noises. He also has started to recognize when we think he's being funny and will totally ham up whatever he is doing to get a laugh.
Andi spends almost her entire day asking me to write words for her to copy, or how to spell things, and drawing pictures. She fills the fridge with her letters and drawing every day. Once we got about 3 pages deep and the magnets wouldn't hold any more I started pulling some pictures off, but she just keeps making more, and they all have to go on the fridge. She can now spell her name, Mom, Dad, Sam, and love all on her own. She can recognize and read about 24 words now. All rhyming, mostly from the cat and the hat, which she can "read" from memory. She also "reads" Are you my mother, but the thing is she wants to read it to you, and then wants you to read it to her. Story time is becoming quite the ordeal every night. I've really got to get some work books and flash cards while she's still in to this.
