Today my little man is 17 months old and I can hardly believe it. Time has flown by yet at the same time I find it hard to remember our lives without him. 
Samuel has brought so much joy to our lives. Each of my children are special in their own ways but I think we all feel the joy that Samuel brings. He came to us at such a difficult time and at only a few days old, he laid beside Joel in his hospital bed, bringing comfort to him.
He is starting to talk; ball, Momma, uh oh, King (our cat, he calls all cats King) a-ee (Daddy), ee (eat), ow (no), dee (soother), he consistently calls Taliah by the same name something similar to his Daddy word but a slight variation.
He loves to play, his favourite things to play with are balls, he is already learning to catch a ball that is bounced gently towards him and then he’ll bounce it back. He loves a good game of peek-a-boo, and is pretty much up for anything the big kids are up to.
He is up and down stairs way to quickly, and in to everything! Samuel you are pure joy and we love you lots.

So sweet! It's amazing how at such a young age they are a HUGE presence in all our lives! I love, love the baby words! It's wonderful to be documenting them on this blog! I had to write them down for all 3 of my kids and they love to go back and hear them! Samuel is adorable, happy 17 mo. birthday!
Thanks Tanya, they do bring a HUGE presence don’t they!
Awesome post! Love all the pictures. My 3rd child is 17 months TODAY! So cool that their birthdays are so close. Joshua is into much the same things that your Samuel is into.

Paula my 3rd child is a Joshua too! He is almost 9 though.
Oh! He is such a cutie! He reminds me of my second son at that age….. but he's a giant, football playing high schooler now. Still wears his hair the same way, though!

They get big all too quickly don’t they!?!
Time goes by quickly with little ones. It seems like yesterday mine where that little and now the youngest is starting kindergarten. Enjoy the moments.

Oh I know it, my oldest is as tall as me and I wonder how that happened.
What a beautiful blessing he is!! Thanks for giving us a peek into your little man's world. It's sometimes frightening to think of how quickly time flies by and our kids sprout up before our very eyes. Some days when I see my kids growing out of another pair of shoes or pants, I just want to grab them and hold them for a while. I wish they didn't have to grow up, but then again, I can't wait to see what precious plans God has for them.
What a darling little man you have! How fast they grow! Blessings!
