Someone gave Sam a Melissa & Doug ABC puzzle for his birthday. There are no knobs on the pieces but they each stick up just enough that he can flip them out of the holes with his finger. He loves this puzzle. He will sit or stand and play with it until he has removed every single letter. Then he will grab the letter "g" and take it with him all over the house.
Sam has a "get me" position. If he is playing with me or Will or Megan and he is running away from us eventually he will lay flat on his tummy and start doing a frog kick all while smiling as big as possible. He lays there waiting for the person to get him. He does this all the time, anytime he thinks someone is chasing him or when someone actually is. He loves to play chase with Megan and will watch over his shoulder to see if she is coming. Once she is after him it doesn't take him long to get into position so she can squish him.
We taught Sam how to put buckets on his head a long time ago and he is constantly doing it. He will empty out containers so he can put them on his head (he learned to empty them after dumping items on his head a few times). Lately he will put a bucket/pail/container on his head and then take off crawling. Crazy kid - he can't see where he is going and bonks into stuff and then laughs about it. Will said he thinks they are helmets - I think maybe we need to get him one.
Last night after dinner we put the kids in the chairs on the front sidewalk while Will & I worked on assembling a new shade tent we bought this weekend. After a couple of minutes Sam got out of his chair and started crawling in circles in the grass and then he crawled over to us. I guess crossing the playground for cheerios made him realize he shouldn't be afraid of grass either.
The kids have almost identical car seats except that Megan's is a different color and a year older model wise; but they both have cup holders built into them. We have been using Megan's cup holder to give her cheerios on road trips and when out running errands for a long time. I have been trying to get Sam to eat cheerios out of his cup holder as well but he just couldn't figure it out; that is until last Friday. Sam finally managed to grab a cheerio and get it into his mouth and there has been no going back since. He will even make his "I am hungry" noise when his cup holder is empty and he needs a refill. Such a cute sound to have two little crunchers in the car now - and so much easier for me to get him his snack.
