More firsts!

This week, our little man not only perfected his crawl, 
he decided to start pulling up!  
When I go into his room after he wakes up from a nap, 
this is what I see...

Although I'm having a hard time believing my little baby 
is doing big boy stuff, I'm so thankful he 
continues to develop and grow.  Life is precious!  
I can never get enough of this smile, 
especially when it appears as mommy approaches.  
Yep, he's gonna be a momma's boy!
This is the face I get when Sam does not get his way.  
I feel like I am constantly saying, "no sir", "no touch", 
and just to reinforce it over and over, "Sam, mommy said no"!  
It's wearing me out. 
This whole training and disciplining thing is harder than it looks!
I keep another little guy on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  
For the first time, Samuel blatantly expressed jealousy when 
I fed and played with Josiah.  
He would crawl to me, pull on my shirt, stare at Josiah, and cry.  
These red eyes are a result of Sam's tears of jealousy.
Sweet son, you are going to have to learn 
to share your mommy sometimes...

Sam looks like a breath of sunshine, and we know there will be many 'more firsts'. Loved the black and white of him, and all the pics are so good. He is really growing up fast, just hold on for the ride of your lifetime with God leading the way for you.

We love you all,

Papa K and Khaki

We're in this together friend!! Those "no" statements are constant words in the Lyons' household as well. Samuel sure is a cute little guy though!
