Dear Sammy,
You are reading the post of a proud father. We have been so busy moving to North Carolina, that I haven't had much time to write you. You've been cutting teeth and becoming more agile day by day. You just learned sign language for 'all finished eating' yesterday. You love to clap at every opportunity. When you know you've done good, you clap. When you're especially happy, you clap. Whenever you hear an audience clapping, you clap right along with them. Though you cannot speak yet, every little grunt you make is rich in meaning. You are learning to make the sounds you hear us make. You are fascinated with lights and light switches, and I wouldn't be surprised if 'light' is one of your first words!
You drag your toys all over the place leaving us a huge mess to clean up every day, but we are still glad you are here with us. Today you even helped Mommy by putting one of your books back on the shelf! Mommy likes to play with you by handing you something and telling you in Chinese to take it to Daddy - 'Na gei Daddy'. You know exactly what to do. You shuffle over and hand it to me. You're getting pretty smart for someone who can't even talk yet :)
Mommy is most proud of the fact that you looooovvvvveeeeee books! Books, books, books. You love to bring a book over, hit her on the head with it, and plop down on her lap waiting for her to read to you. You are so precious to us. Now, if only we could buy some helmets for your book slinging habit!
Love,
Daddy
