18.Months.

Sam is 18 months today. Before I had a kid it annoyed me when people used months, but alas I use them myself now! Where has the last year and a half gone. A few fun things about Sam at 18months...

Sleeps 11+ hours at night and naps once a day
Has 10 teeth in a working on two more molars
Loves to build with his blocks and then knock them over
Says lots of words or some derivative of the word
(more, all done, socks, cheese, snack, truck, movie, diaper, dog, bath, bus, snow, bye bye, mama, dada, nose, baby, etc etc)
Can point to his body parts (hair, nose, belly, eyes)... prefers the nose!
Likes to play hide and seek
Good helper, will throw trash away, put his toys up, get shoes
Loves to be outside and doesn't mind the cold weather
Favorite foods include stringed cheese, bananas, macaroni and cheese, oatmeal, yogurt, spaghetti
Still fusses in the nursery when being dropped off (someday it will stop?!)
Loves his babysitter Susan and her family, Adam, Micah and Lucas (+BabyJ3!)
Is interested in trains and school buses
Prefers to do or at least try to do things himself
Loves kisses from Hap and I
Super ticklish and enjoys being tickled
Still loves to look at books and be read to
Enjoys bath time and going to the pool


Hap and I are continually thankful for the gift God has given us in Sam for this season of his life. We pray he will come to salvation in Christ alone at a young age and grow in the likeness of Christ.
We love you Sam and are thankful for your life and what you mean to us!




(I think Sam thinks he's in Hawaii with Michael because he took his shirt off and didn't want it put back on!! Wishful thinking)

We have all been blessed with Sam, he is the sweetest boy! And sleeping 11 hours - that MUST run in the Purcell family:). Uncle Nathan will enjoy seeing Sam next week...a little secret, he too loves to play hide and seek with our friends' little kids. I am guessing Nathan will have to count...
