Last night (Thursday) we were tired and we decided to eat diner on the couch so we could watch the season finale of project runway and still get to bed early. While we were eating Samuel was in his bouncy seat next between the couch and the table. On the corner of the table were the papers from the days mail. Samuel was a contortionist in his efforts to reach above him to his left to grab the papers. He became very frustrated as he was unable to accomplish this on his own. When Julia gave him one sheet of paper he gave us a huge smile and he began to crumple the paper and throw it around his head. Why did we spend so much money on toys when he gets so much enjoyment from a solitary piece of paper?
Today he has spent quite a bit of time on his activity mat. The activity mat is a soft mat with two arches that intersect above the mat. From these arches, toys dangle that he can grab and play with. There are holes in the arches that the toys loop through. Today he has taken one of the toys off the arch 3 times. He is advancing far too fast for me.
I cannot believe that in 6 days he will be 6 months old.

Dave, is you consider how your life has turned upside down over the last 6 months I'm sure it must feel like 6 years. I love your blogs and look forward to seeing you all in Paris, in due course. Sorry we can't make it in November but our daughter wouldn't forgive us. We will send pics of her great performance. LoL Astrid
