Bubba

Sam-Man, Bubba, Pumpkin, Mr. Stinks, Little Toot, Bubbs, Little Monster, Mona (because you moan!), and Sammy..... you have lots of nicknames! I think I call you "Bubba" the most and sometimes throw in a "Chubba" beforehand!



Some funny/cute things about you 
the last couple of weeks......

1.  Last week was a doozy at daycare - you went through 7 or 8 extra outfits - one day changing 3+ times!  We should have bought stock in Spray N Wash.  It was so bad, I couldn't keep track of how many extra outfits you had there and how many more to bring!  (That's where the name "Mr. Stinks" comes in!).  All I can say is "What an interesting shade of green!"



2.  Drool........ starting a couple weeks ago, you are nonstop on the drool front, soaking outfits in a matter of minutes!  Any toy coming from you - tag blanket, Pup-pup, etc... are covered in wet drool!



3.  You have become a stinker with your bottle the last couple of weeks.  It started, that I noticed, with church and you not wanting to take a bottle in the nursery, causing mom to have to come and get you since you were going Ballistic!!!!!  Then dad reported you not wanting to take the bottle.... and then today at daycare they said they were having a hard time with you and the bottle off and on the last two weeks!  I guess you prefer to eat local and fresh still with your momma, but I'm not sure why the sudden issue with the bottle as you take a small one at least daily at home.  I'm not worried, though, as if you are hungry enough, I know you'll take it!  I'm curious what you will think of formula and solid food once we get there!

** Your daycare sheet last Friday said they were teaching you sign language for the words "more" and "please", I'm just waiting to be feeding you and see you pull back and sign "more, please!" - HA!

4.  You have weaseled your way pretty much permanently into bed with mom and dad.  We put you to sleep in your crib but after your first wake-up, you join mom and dad.  I think this has a lot to do with mom being tired and wanting to sleep, but I think you have this figured out.  I swore this week we will get you back to 80/20 - 80% of the time in the crib and 20% of the time in bed - unfortunately, mom still wants the 20% for early early morning (b/c she still hates saying goodbye in the mornings) and weekends!  I'm sure that's part of the problem!




5.  Scratching your head - you've developed this somewhat annoying yet cute habit of scratching your head.  Whenever I'm feeding you, your hand instantly goes to your head and you open/close/open close and it's nonstop.  Your forehead and head have some small scratches and when I try to interfere, you pull back and squeal.  It's actually kind of cute, but your forehead is turning into a war zone!



6. Otherwise, the most fun part is hearing you babble and squeal and make noises and getting you to do that in reaction to the ridiculous things mom and dad are doing!  We are like two monkeys half the time trying to get a reaction from you!  Mom fake sneezing and hiccupping and dad making monkey noises...... we're quite the comedy routine!

You bring a lot of joy into our house, Sam!!!  Mom loves her boys mucho!
