New Skills

Sam today learned a new skill! He decided that it was time to get out his bubble machine. He discovered that the batteries were dead. He looked around in the closet for a minute and came up with a little screwdriver. Sure enough he was able to get that screw undone and then we had to charge batteries (thank goodness for rechargeable!) Then he needed to try out his skills on his dinosaur. Fine motor skills are good right?

Stairs!

So in the last post I mentioned about Sam crawling up the stairs. Well here's the story... I was trying to get dinner going and it's kind of a bad time of night because Sam is hungry and Zach can be a little excited and so usually there is some chaos going on. :) Well Sam was in the living room and had cruised on over to the bottom of the stairs into the kitchen... he'd been doing that for a while so I wasn't worried. I ground some wheat on the back porch which made Sam made because he doesn't like the noise. Oh well I thought. I'll just hurry and finish up and then I'll go get him. Well when I went to go get him, he was half way up the stairs! Of course I had to get the camera and take a picture....


And this is about 30 seconds later.....


While I was taking the picture I was also talking to Daddy on the phone telling him how wonderful our Sam is and then Sam turns and falls down the stairs :( Thank-goodness there are only about 5 so it wasn't too bad. Although Big Brother is now overly concerned when Sam climbs up the stairs now :)
