About 15 minutes ago Bianca and I put baby Sam to bed.
Man, that kid is active nowadays.
He walks everywhere and you have to watch him like a hawk.
I made the house baby proof today but he still found things to break and grab.
It's extremely tiring.
Then I got a genius insight!
If he's family he must like games.
I fired up the SNES mini I bought not long ago and unplugged his controller and gave it to him.
We played Super Mario World.
He loved it and it gave me a 30-minute break!
This is baby Sam when he was 6 weeks and the first picture I shared on steemit. Growing up fast? you bet.
After 30 minutes he was back on his warpath. And I followed suit. You have no choice. This is a whole new ballgame.
I can't deny I was contemplating it for a second....it works to calm me down :)
We watched some cartoons. When I was a kid I was a big fan of Ducktales. Loved that show. I gave it a shot. He liked it for about 3 minutes...not bad. Later that day we watched Bumba it's awful beyond belief but my sister told me he loves it. It was true.
Bianca made him some mash and he ate everything. And fast too. This is a huge plus when they get older!
He was running around like a madman after food. Must have given him new powers. I can relate. Happens to me too. But 30 minutes later he came to me with a book. He wanted me to read to him. It was a cool moment. He knows us now.
After reading the same book over and over again we put him in his bed.
Before that, I made an honest attempt to change his diaper and managed about 50% of the job.
He has a rash on his butt and I'm to clunky with cleaning so Bianca took over.
She was done in seconds. It's so pro.
He slept straight away.
Tomorrow around 7 it starts again.

That's how they grow, so fast it will amaze you. See the boy that was running away from you, now you guys are buddies.
Cool to read - and nice to see how hard you are trying.
Now imagine I have three of those and a fourth on it way .... you need completely different concepts to stay on top.
And what seems true is a saying they habe here (I hope it translates well) - small kids small worries - big kids big worries ...
I can't even imagine what it must be like to have to keep an eye out for 3 of them! My goodness. It's impossible to do alone, I would think. I get your translation perfectly. But the big worries are for later :)
Baby Sam is a bundle of joy. Glad you see both sides of raising a baby.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Keep on steemin'
Bro spend time with child is like we spend quality time.
Even i love children very much. I too have nephew and he is just 2 year old. I love to play with him. I sometime give a bath to him and then we eat food.
It's very nice feeling too. Children like cartoon and playing games.
My nephew is very naughty. He is 2 year old and even unable to talk but know well to operate mobile to play game.
Today's children are genius and fast forward.
I don't know the relation of this baby with you but he is so adorable.
Sam is very cute. He will be a crypto man :)
Nice post @exyle
Yeaaahhh baby sam is here so all crypto talks will be put on hold for the big boss...hehehe.
Hahahah this always works. Worked for me and I have used it so many times on different kids and it worked too.
Hehehe for only 3 minutes? Kids these days. When I was a kid I always loved cartoons. Kids these days are more interested in gadgets than kid stuffs.
i have a baby her name is Ayesha Ali she is 2 month old . she is very cute you can see in my blogs . and babies are very important in life mr @exyle
Sam must really love you, just like his own dad. You are a great Uncle and Bianca as well. When he is with you at your home he must realy spice up the atmosphere. Let’s see how he is going to deal with Steemit once he is old anough.lol
@exyle, I have the same feeling
Time passes by so fast and when you know it, you got your own baby in your arms!
Everyday that I get older, I look at the younger people before me filled with energy and I can't help to notice that I used to be like that once.
I'm dying to be an uncle soon and I hope @fabrews delivers me a nephew real soon!
I think @fabrews will after the marriage :)
oooooooo boooyy haha
Oh really Toddler Sam 🙋🙋🙋 is the amazing name. It's a perfect name for Baby Sam. Cause his all activities symptom look like Toddler.
However, Dear sir,, I think you and madam Bianca so much careful about baby Sam.
That's way he grow up firstly.
Thanks for the share of your family happiness.
All the best for the next
Cutest post on my feed right now omg💗
really cute~
@exyle,
They grow faster and they learn faster than us! I am getting that experience in these days and I hope you will experience it soon!
Cheers~
you have never been told that you look like the actor in the movie- stuck in love?
No never! :)
It's very good, I recommend it
It's cute baby Sam again! Still remember when you took him outside to walk for the first time. Now he seems so active now. He must grow up to be sportsman somehow.
His parents are both very sporty so that would make sense!
the same with my youngest , i play with a ball with him after that the DUPLO came up then there was a puzzle en some blocks after that and then we played with his kitchen en when i looked at the clock we were 25 minutes further down the day
GOOD LUCK, YOU ARE GONNA NEED IT
Nice to see baby Sam again, he has grown up quite a bit. He is at an age where he needs lots toys and games to keep him busy and it seems like u guys had lots of fun. Have a great night and good day with baby Sam tomorrow :)
never heard about Bumba, but Ducktales was fantastic :) With that kind of reference, your kid is very lucky!
I'm probably old when I say that cartoons in my day were better. But they were:). Ducktales I watched that over and over again. loved it.
to judge by the images are already great friends, I remember how shy he was at the beginning, now that he acquired confidence will be loosening more and more, you have to prepare dear friend @exyle the guys today with built-in battery give extra energy.
beautiful the baby and they grow very fast, thank you very much for sharing this tender moment
I wish you a beautiful afternoon.
He looks soo cute sleeping on your chest.
Kids grow up very soon. In a matter of time perhaps. It will be just like yesterday they were born and now they are talking to you and asking some silly and cute questions.
I think you should hold a vote as to what time we all believe Sam is going to wake up. Based on his age and what you've shown us, I'll put my guess at closer to 6:15AM
Nooooo...I was hoping for 8:00 :)
Tomorrow, you can let us know how well that went for you. I'll expect the 6:30AM VLOG starting with. "Hello, this is @exyle, from steemit ... since I was awake anyways I ...."
:-)
You were right 100%
Kids are like the energizer bunny. They just keep going and going and going. So cool that he wanted you to read to him. He obviously likes Bianca's cooking. And this little guy isn't even two yet! I think you'll need faster shoes then!
Great to see litlle Sam once again and Lucky you that Bianca saved you from the stinkyness.. lol...
Childeren are so Beautyfull
Kind regards,
Genius move with the SNES! Wow man, he really is growing up so fast! It flies by so quickly. I was already sayng that to the good lady about our boy as he is now coming up for five months and it seemed like he was born only a moment ago!
Thanks! I told my friends (all have kids) they said straight away...LOL, that only works until they get 3. Guess not so genius maybe :). But they grow up fast. If I ever have one of my own, I'll need to enjoy all those moments.
HAha, yeah, they get bored of everything really quickly.
You really will! I have a spidey tingling sense it wont be long. Oh no. That's the kind of thing my mum says! yeek!
Hey, I'm trying to avoid that! :)
Lol, that's alright, it looks like I am here to do it for you hehe!
Haha, I was thinking the same thing.
Definitely enjoy the moments! Also, keep practicing the diaper-changing. You'll become a pro in no time :) My husband is great at helping me with the twins, but he still doesn't do diapers. When we'd watch someone else's kids, he'd say, "I'll change them when they're mine." ... And now we have two ... I think he's only changed one each. LOL
haha that is epic fun to watch him enjoying the day getting older is fun too :D awesome day with baby sam oh no toddler-sam
Hey @exyle. I hope all is going well. I had some free time so I decided to pop back in and see how you are doing haha.
I can't believe how much Sam has ground (I guess that is what children tend to do). I remember how he would sleep for hours as well as that one experience where his... how do I say it, 'excrements' went everywhere. It seems like Bianca is always ready to save the day.
It is great to see you firing up the SNES and letting Sam have a go. It feels as if this 'retro game culture' is slowly dying. I went to an arcade as of recently and some children aged 12 had no idea what pacman or snake was.
Great to see you are still on your daily upload grind. I think I've went 5 months posting every day or so. I hope you are still keeping up with your gym routine. Maybe we will see an Arnold Schwarzenegger like exyle haha. Have a great day! :)
Hey man, that's been a while. Hope you are ok. The excrements incident scared me for life :). I still go to the gym, about 3-4 times a week but far from looking like Arnold! GJ on the grind! Keep going!
A favorite memory... when my oldest was that age, he got up earlier than I, walked to my bed, pounded my sleeping face, and said ceerial. When I failed to jump, he pounded again. You may want to get up early...
Have fun learning with Sam. He’s no longer a baby.
I can see him doing the same in the upcoming years. It's fun to see him grow up and change. He starts to understand the meaning of 'no' that is already a huge help.
Haha I actually remember having that much energy and I wonder what when wrong, lolol alcohol doesn't solve all problems @exyle well almost not all, duck tales is awesome but I guess bumba would be more Sams thing for hes age.
Funny and so adorable! But as a parent, it is obligatory for us to give the best for him. For example by playing games and controlling him not to run to the kitchen and squeeze the knife !!! Because, sometimes we forget to control our children because of busyness.
Thank you for sharing.
I have two boys, 23 and 13, and I do not know where the time has went. In a blink of an eye they grew up, or are growing up. Please take advantage of all the special moments you get, like the diaper changes, the chase games, the cartoons and even taking them in when they nap, because it goes by fast and the next thing you know you are watching them graduate school or hearing about their engagement.
You have a lovely family so go make some memories my friend.
Ha. ha. ha! Welcome to my world when we get the grandkids to look after. They run you ragged.
We're in a similar situation. The youngest started crawling last week and that's a whole 'nother ball game with child care. The trouble is his brother is 3 and he's more interested in his toys, which are totally unsuitable, not to mention dangerous, than his own.
My kids are 10 years apart from I've never dealt with this before!
The photos are so sweet. Glad you're enjoying it. Hope you get a good nights sleep ready for the onslaught in the morning.
Any my vote goes for toddler Sam rather than baby.He's moved inro the next phase. 😍
Toddler Sam it is! He's officially upgraded!
This almost always holds true for ALL toddlers. They get so excited at the ability to carry themselves around that they can't just maintain one position. Like damn! Just a few weeks ago, they were on all fours but now they can hold their body upright and walk like a normal human? The feeling is nostalgic. That is why personality studies show that at this stage they mainly engage in "solitary play". They don't want your trouble at all. They just want to enjoy their newly discovered "superpowers" in peace
**** Say Hello to Sam for Me**
Baby Sam is real adorable... yes, he is growing really fast..
You are really lucky to have such an adorable , cutest kid. I am very choosy and I am not really impressed easily with beauty and cuteness of the people, but this Sam is truly sweet. Kisses for him <3

I think Toddler Sam is the better name for baby Sam😎. Cause he is growing day by day and showing some creativity. He not like other babies. I noticed that some special power setting have his brain what is working as well and growing different way.
From all that activities justified that Toddler Sam is the perfect name.
Hello,,," Toddler Sam" grow up with your master plan..
