Samuel is making great strides at his effort to "find his voice".  We continue to have Kristin, his speech therapist, come to the house once a week.  Some sessions are better than others (he is 2 afterall), but he is really surprising us lately.

Just this week he is referring to himself as "Yam"(emphasis on the m) (Sam) – we laugh and call him "Ham, son of Noah".  But if you ask him his name he'll say it – a big accomplishment!

He said two words that I didn't even know he knew…"heaby" (heavy) and "peay" (play)

Lately Kristin has been bringing crafts for him to do – one week he got to make Fruit Loop bracelets.  Oh, boy, did he love that!  It was a task though to keep him from eating them!  And he insisted, this particular day, on wearing a hat.  A red U of U hat.  Backwards.  Go figure.  It was too cute to not take a picture.
