Hard time letting go...

So last night I had to go through all of Sam's "newborn" clothes and box them away. I am so sad that he is growing up so fast. He is no longer in that "newborn" stage and it made me cry. Everyone has told me to enjoy him at each stage because they grow up so fast, but I was not thinking it would be this fast. Not only is Sam 7 weeks old tomorrow, he is also 14 pounds now. Although, I am having a hard time with him leaving the newborn stage, I am so excited to watch him grow and learn new things. He is so much fun! He is responding so much to me and his dad. He now smiles, moves his head to watch us as we walk past him, and makes the cutest cooing noises.

Check out how much he has changed:

Newborn

Today

and yep, he is now smiling!!!

That's funny that you met your husband at "The Bay". I used to love that place. Every Friday night :) Sam is adorable. He is a big baby! 14 pounds already! My little girl was only 18.2 at her 1 year appt. (she is a VERy petite though). Keep in touch with me :); December 18, 2008 at 1:19 PM

the funny things Sam says...

After dumping a bunch of gaterade in my lap while driving, I had a little meltdown. Sam says from the back seat, "Mommy, please don't talk."

Whenever he hears a weird noise, he looks at me and says, "Whagga heck?" and sometimes he'll say, "Whatta ooze that?" (What is that)

"I so scared of garbage man."

Matt goes to check on Sam to find out why he's not asleep. Sam says, "I want Mommy." Matt says, "Mommy went night-night". Just then the water turns on and Sam says, "No, mommy's takin' a tub-tub."

"Mommy has a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG belly, it's like a ball."

"I so cited for baby sister."

Was watching toy story 3 and had the biggest smile when Barbie & Ken first saw each other. Sam said, "That's mommy and daddy!"

Whenever he farts, he laughs at himself and says, "I tootied!!!"
When I tell Sam we're out of something, he replies, "Needa go to War-mart to get some more."

At night I usually sing to Sam a lullaby by Billy Joel. One morning Sam said started saying the words to the song, "Good night my angel, now it's time .... SAY IT MOM!!!"
