the scopels: October 2008

well, sam had his first dental cleaning this past week! we were slow at the office and were curious as to how he would do so i plopped down in the chair with him and our hygienist cleaned the two teeth that he has in his head. it was so funny! he did great although he hated the suction!!!! he loved the taste of the prophy paste and he also loved when she would squirt water in his mouth. these pics aren't the best cause they were taken with matt's phone but it was all we had with us at the time.

sam is also eating anything and everything he can get his hands on, including dog food....which resulted in me in the bathroom with my head over the toilet. gotta love that pregnant gag reflex! he's pulling up on everything but hasn't actually gotten the nerve to let go just yet. he's very good at entertaining himself and his favorite place to play (besides the kitchen) is his bedroom. he loves to pull out every toy in there and then crawl to another room to detroy it as well. it blows my mind at just how fast these little ones can move while crawling! he knows if we're headed in his direction that he needs to just crawl faster. it's so funny cause he will just laugh and kick it into high gear. the problem is the bigger i get, the slower i move!

i'm doing really well. we're both in shock that this pregnancy is passing by as quickly as it is. we find out what number 2 will be next thursday at 9 am! i'll be 18.5 weeks! of course, that appt doesn't seem like it will get here quick enough! i go back and forth on what i want and matt has gone from saying it's a boy to saying it's a girl. neither one of us have a clue but we'll be happy with whatever God decides to give us. we'll keep everyone posted! so look for our big announcement next week!!!!
