Things I Don't Want to Forget

- From 8 to 10 months of age, every time you sang "Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba Barbara Ann" to Sam (envision from the song Barbara Ann with the same tune and everything) he would say "Ma-ma" when you finished. Every time. Without fail. Now he's moved on and says "ba-ba". :)
-When Sam was really little he would dance his thumb along the top of my breast (in a sort've thumbs down way) while he nursed. Now he still caresses and strokes my chest, that is at least during the sessions that he's half asleep. :P
-Leg lifts -ever since Sam was probably about 3 months old, he's been doing leg lifts. He'll do them for extended periods of time, especially in his crib before naps.
- His sense of wonder about everything. How he'll suddenly get excited and point at something and yell. And you look at it, and it's a light...
- His fascination with ceiling fixtures (especially fans!) and how he can pick them out anywhere.
- His fascination with birds. Sam can literally pick out a bird flying in the sky that you wouldn't have even noticed if he hadn't pointed it out.
- The smile that he gives me or Tim when we walk into the room.
- How I can be totally exasperated by him because he's been screaming/throwing a tantrum all morning. And then one sweet smile makes all the exasperation disappear.
- His joy/excitement when he learns something new.
