Sam is ON THE MOVE!!!!!

Sam is officially in love with his Scooter (as I call it) and he can now get around the entire house pretty much in it - not gracefully, mind you!  He looks like he is SUI - Scooting Under the Influence - as he continually hits furniture, walls, and people (!) and has to maneuver - flip flops and barefeet are not safe in this house anymore!  Yesterday, only a couple minutes after I put him in the scooter, I heard noises and turned to see Sam already in this predicament!!!  It only got worse as Mr. Monks got into the fray as well!

Sam has been using the scooter for a couple months, and for awhile was able to scoot backwards, but that was it.  All of a sudden this week, he is forward - backward - sideways - and mobile!!!  He actually stands up and runs in it and will follow us around the house or look for ANYTHING to grab - one of his favorites is the dishtowel on the oven which I replace up to 10 times a night!  If we call him from the other room, we hear him squealing and bumping walls and furniture until he makes his way back to us - it's very cute!

We have been greatly entertained by Sam the last few nights... greatly - here are some of his Scooter moments and a blooper!  Note we use Mr. Monks as bait when we REALLY want to motivate him!  Mr. Monks rates higher in this house than mom or dad!

And... one blooper!  I could post quite a few more, but we'll stop here!

Sam brings so much JOY and LAUGHTER into our house on a DAILY basis!!!!
