Samual is an absolute doll! (hope it's ok to say that about a boy) How do you like motherhood? How is he adjusting?

Thanks, Cindy!! He's got a great personality, too. He's pretty much happy-go-lucky all the time. It's hard to believe he's been home for 5 months already. We're all settled in together and having fun every day. Tomorrow is his baptism, so we'll see how an 18 month old does having to sit still, then have water sprinkled on his head!

Thanks for asking... How's your gang doing?

I hope the baptism goes well. I think it will be interesting with an 18 month old. I know it wouldn't fly with Abby, but she is 26 months. I'm finding out how much more independent they become at 2.

Abby is learning all kinds things so fast now. She does colors, numbers, and letters pretty good. Not perfect, but I don't expect perfection! She loves to hug now and it is so cute! Daniel is into smiling now and discovered his hands a few weeks ago. I think he laughed for the first time yesterday. So between tantrums, all is cute here!

Actually, I think you managed to sum up Sam perfectly, too: between tantrums, all is great! Is it weird that I even think his tantrums are cute (on occasion?!)

The baptism went well. I think he was in awe of all the people, so he kept pretty quiet. Not a peep when the pastor dumped water on his head.

My nephew is about the same age as your Daniel. I saw him today, and he just discovered that his hands move. It was so much fun to watch!
