Where has the time gone?

I can't believe that nearly 4 months has already gone by since Sam was born. When everyone says to treasure these moments because they fly by, they weren't kidding. Just the other day, Neil and I were eating breakfast before church while Sam was on his back below his little mobile, jingly things above his head. Next thing you know, we looked over and Sammy was on his side. Then, he went a little further and rolled over for the first time! Talk about proud parents. Then, we put him back on his back, and he kept rolling over. It's funny how something so small is such an accomplishment for Sam and such a proud moment for us. It didn't seem that long ago at all that we were in the hospital awaiting his arrival. When Sam was born, our lives changed forever. And, definitely for the better.

May 2, 2011 - Samuel Wade Pruitt, 7 lb 13 oz, 21 and 3/4 inches

When I really think back on how much Sam has grown and how much he does now than the beginning, it's amazing. In the beginning, he spent so much time sleeping, eating, and of course, pooping! He didn't smile, laugh, or interact and couldn't hold up his head. Now, being almost 4 months, he can hold up his head, smile, laugh, grab your fingers or anything you give him and roll over. He used to wake up 2 to 3 times a night. And now, he sleeps through the night. (Thank you!!) That has to be one of the nicest things about him getting older. Not getting any sleep starts to make a person crazy!

I'm posting a few pictures of Sammy so that you can see our sweet little boy! We are doing this thing throughout his first year where we are taking a picture of him in the same chair with the same stuffed animal every month. This way we can see how much he has grown and complete our frame for him that has a place for every month until he turns 1. In those pictures, we can already see how much he has grown! He really is a tall boy, like his daddy. At his 2 month appointment for his shots he was already weighing in at 25 inches, which put him in the 96th percentile. His weight was in the 75th. I'm anxious to see how this compares to his 4 month appointment coming up (though I'm not looking forward to seeing him get those shots again)! Our predictions are he will be 6 foot 8, 240 pounds. We will see how that plays out!    :)
