Sam and Kenya


Babies and dogs have lovely non-verbal relationships.

Kenya doesn't mind much where Sam is concerned, but she really wishes that Kerry wouldn't put him to sleep on her couch because she isn't sure how to get up there beside him without risking knocking him off.

I love it when she brings her toys over to Sam to use as teething rings. (Sam does too.)


Sam is at that wriggly physical stage of life. He can't crawl but he keeps on trying and looks a bit like a flying fish on land or a human at the amphibious stage of evolution. His belly acts as a stationary base for the flying wings and kicking feet.

He watches people intently and mirrors their expressions ... mainly smiles.

And he is very verbal ... not making animal noises ... but really trying to use language.

I am very glad I have had the chance to spend time with him right now at this part of his life.
