Sam is feeling better now and was back at day care today. He was really sick last week. I took him to the doctor again last Wednesday to make sure he wasn't dehydrated since he was fighting me so much on drinking anything. He had so much diarrhea that day that I had to change his clothes five or six times. The doctor said that Sam was mildly dehydrated, but that he wasn't concerned about it as long as he was getting some fluids and not throwing up. The doctor also recommended that we try Similac Isomil DF (diarrhea formula). It worked almost immediately and he seemed to like it better. He was feeling a lot better by Friday, but he was still no where near a normal eating schedule, so I didn't feel comfortable sending him to day care.
Sam started pulling himself up during his baths while we were on the MS coast at Christmas. Of course, he's still doing it now that we are home. Look at those cute little fat legs!!! (And, yes we clean and disinfect the sink after we give him a bath.)
Here's Sam in his red flannel pajamas. Yikes! He's growing up too fast.
Playing peek-a-boo with Cleo is so much fun!
Our friend Patty had two of these old Fisher-Price walker toys, so she gave us one. Look at the rotary dial on the front. It's funny when you think that Sam will never know what that is.
Sam is looking pretty cool in these photos, but don't let him fool you. He started freaking out after this shot. He's not quite ready for this yet. Neither are we actually, but when you haven't left the house in a week, you start running out of things to do!
So after Sam started feeling better, we still couldn't get out of the house this weekend, because as luck would have it, we got our annual ice storm in Dallas this weekend. It was actually a nice excuse not to have to get out and run errands. We had a nice fire going in the fireplace, played with Sam, watched a movie, read some books and magazines, and put up the Christmas decorations.
After spending so much time with Sam lately, he actually cried when we dropped him off at day care today. It broke my heart. Hopefully he'll remember how much he likes playing with his friends tomorrow. Chris and I were off today for MLK, but we took Sam to day care for a few hours so we could have a lunch date and clean the house.
Here are some videos of Sam crawling around and playing with Cleo. They are a little dark and I didn't edit them, but thought you might enjoy them any way ....

Has that boy seen the likes of a tub yet? We love the "pinch-a-ble" legs. Sam has a looooooong crack just like Max. Landry was a short "cracker".
Watch out....before long, he'll be walking and you'll wonder, where did the time go?!
He's adorable. Keep the pictures coming.

How do you keep from pinching his little butt completely off?
