9 Months

As of today, Samuel weighs just over 17 pounds and is only in the 8th percentile! He's a teeny little thing, and it's no wonder with the calories he burns army crawling all over the house. He's still in physical therapy once a week for a gross motor delay in his back, and he's progressing quite well. Just this week, he started mini crawls (four moves at a time) on his knees, but he still doesn't have the hand/knee thing down.

Six big teeth take care of just about anything we put in his mouth, and his favorite is chunky orchard fruit. He can fall asleep at the drop of a hat but loves to be snuggled while doing so. His hair is about 4 inches long when wet, but I just can't bring myself to cut off those adorable, tight curls.

We long to be in touch with his birthparents, but they have not been in contact.
