Samantha turns One!

I can't believe it's been a year since Samantha joined us. She's not a baby anymore. She's our little girl.

I feel like right now we are in a giant transitional stage. On Jan 11th she took her first steps, 3 steps unassisted walking towards dad. She hasn't taken a step since without holding onto anything. She's eating mostly adult foods, but sometimes still wants the baby moosh. She still has bottles, but we're hoping that transitions out soon. She's currently on formula but in the next couple days will be starting the transition to milk. Sometimes Sam will take 2 naps, some days only 1. The fun part is not knowing what days are 2 nap days, and which days are single nap days. With every stage we miss something but are always excited for what's in store. She definitely has developed more of a personality and ways to communicate without really saying much. Her favorite things to say are "Hi" and "Uh oh". I think she picked up "Uh oh" when she got a stomach bug a couple weeks ago and we were constantly changing not only diapers but all her clothes every couple hours. At least she learned something new!

I think Sam not officially has more clothes than me. Between Christmas and her birthday she has a ton of cute new clothes and lots of fun toys. Thank you to everyone who joined us for her birthday celebration, we wish we could have had more of a chance to talk to everyone, but are glad you all came! Thank You!!!
