Sam turned 6.
Weight: 41lbs- 19%
Height: 44inches- 23%

If you don't remember this is huge!  Sam has struggled to be above the 5%in height and weight since he got really sick around his third birthday.  Clearly he is healthy, and growing and making up for it.  I came home from his well check almost in tears at the physical proof this is that he is healthy.  My growing boy!

At six Sam is just the same kind hearted boy he has always been.  His sweetness is unbelievable.  He wants to be so helpful and kind.  He rarely complains.  He is quiet and content.  He reminds me so much of his Dad and I can already see him growing up to have a very similar personality as Jake.  Always content, quiet and serving those he loves.  Sam loves sports.  He watches NBA basketball during the afternoon when the girls take their naps like he is a grown up.  He plays soccer and cheers no matter who is scoring and comes away smiling.  He will be by your side if you are doing chores, feeling sick, fixing something, working in the yard, taking care of the little girls.  He loves being by your side.... unless you will let him play the xbox.  He seems to be a favorite of lots of the kids around him and I'm guessing that is because he is humble and laughs at whatever they say and never try to get attention for himself.  It is a pleasure to spend the days with him.   He still devours food especially hamburgers. His favorite color he says in dark blue.  He likes riding his bike, playing soccer, having friends over, watching sports, playing games, spending time with mom and dad, taking pictures, working on projects especially if they require tools.  But he still likes stuffed animals too and I think that is so great- I'll be sad the day by only boy doesn't want a stuffed animal in his bed to cuddle to sleep anymore.  Sam is great to his sisters and watches out for Beth and includes Mari and makes her happy all day.  I'm so blessed to be the mother of such a kind hearted boy.  He makes me proud every day.
