Samuel is too smart for us.

Now that we have received our sea shipment we have moved Samuel from his bassinet to a crib.  The bassinet was getting ridiculously small as Samuel barely fit from head to toe.  Now that he is in his crib he has plenty of room.  even so that he was able to roll over on to his stomach the other night.  I was only slightly disturbed when I went to wake him up and he was on his belly.

When Samuel was in his bassinet he was able to kick a musical aquarium(thank you, Jencie and Antonio) to advise us that he was awake and wishing to get up.  Now that he is in his crib the aquarium is harder to get to.  So today he decided to roll over to the edge of the crib and turn on his overhead mobile.  We have to figure out how to download from our video camera so that we can make a movie of Samuel waking up as he always wakes up with a smile and a tremendous desire to get his day started.

Had another good day today.  Samuel and I went to the market this morning and i was able to ask the cheese shop if they have ricotta.  Unfortunately they do not but I was able to communicate.  Progress is being made.

Samuel and I then went for a 2 hour walk in the bois de bolougne.  We found the playground again so that anyone who visits that has kids who need to burn of energy have a playground available.  Found a lake that has a rowboat rental; as Samuel was asleep I sat on a  bench and watched a father try to teach his young daughter how to row a boat.  Paid attention as this is something I will be undertaking in a few years.
