Gerry Ann

Sammy is growing and growing and he has these beautiful big cheeks now. He watches us constantly and can even follow us with his head now. Yesterday, I watched him as he was following our helper around the house and when she got behind him, he got very frustrated that he couldn't turn his head all the way around.

We introduced a pacifier to him at the beginning of the week. It makes Bill sad when he sees Sam with the pacifier, because he looks like a big boy now. He's growing out of his socks and some clothes too.
Gerry Ann is leaving today. She's been a great big help and seems to have enjoyed her time here. Bill took her to the Chinese Wal Mart yesterday. She got a little overwhelmed from it being crowded and frantic, as Wal Mart usually is. Bill took her to the Bird and Flower Market the day before and they had over-the-bridge noodles. Gerry Ann came back with a shirt full of oil, which she had splashed on herself when she dumped the goodies into the soup. But, she had a great big smile on her face. She's been a real trooper.
