Here are a few things you should know about Sammy-Boy:
1. He likes to laugh with one or two fingers in his mouth.
2. He fools strangers into thinking they've charmed him, when quite often he smiles at bathroom cleaners (Comet, Ajax, etc).
3. He's been known to make excited movements that can only be described as "part fake epileptic seizure, part jazzy-hands" in response to an oscillating fan.
4. He is not above biting.
5. Ceiling fans, lights, dogs, red pillows, stuffed animals, and rubber duckies are a few of his favorite things.
6. When you take dirty shoes away from him and say "No-No," you can expect a loud groan of infant angst.
7. He likes spinach (cooked in butter).
8. His car seat is the devil.
9. He can pick his Hop-on-Pop toy out of a stuffed animal lineup.
10. He prefers no clothes to clothes.
11. He is a people person and will cry if you so much as act like you were thinking about leaving the room, even if it was to get him a toy.
12. His philosophy on reading: books are meant to be eaten.
13. When Papa blows on a blade of grass and it makes a neat little sound, he tries to mimic the noise but fails. He usually then groans.
14. He does not understand the cellphone.
15. When you call and ask to talk to Sammy, he thinks you are hiding in the room somewhere.
16. He likes when Mama chases him around the living room and squeals, "I'm going to eat you!"
17. He actually believes he can outrun Mama.
18. He's been known to try to eat his own feet.
19. If you mention "Papa," he looks toward the back door in anticipation.
20. If you mention "Papa" at 11:00 am, you deserve the sad face and crying that ensues when Papa doesn't materialize.
21. He prefers to walk everywhere himself.
22. He walks like a penguin.
23. His red hair is not getting blonder.
24. He is terrified of the blender.
25. No matter how many times you hide the tape measure, he will find it.
26. He laughs uncontrollably when you cough. The worse the cough, the louder and more prolonged the laughter.
27. He doesn't really know what he thinks about sand.
28. He likes to give kisses but only if you pronounce them as "keeses."
29. He has tried ice cream once or twice, and his reaction was a mixture of disgust and terror.
30. He has really, really large feet.
