Samantha is 3!!!

I can't believe our little girl is 3 years old. She is growing up so fast right before our very eyes. She has quite the little personality, and is definitely becoming her own person... although she is very much like her mom. Josh tends to call her Same-y.... Same as Amy, Sam + Amy... ya, it works way too well. She is a mommy's girl now after being a daddy's girl as a baby. She will believe almost anything I tell her, no matter how fabricated. I could convince her something Josh says is wrong even if it's not, and then tell her exactly what Josh was saying and then she'll believe me and tell daddy what mommy said, like it was never his idea in the first place. It's pretty funny.

At 3 years old what is she up to? Well...

• She is potty trained and loves her big girl undies (although still wears a pull up at night)
• She loves movies, and goes back and forth on her favorites. Right now the top of the list are Ice Age 2, Turbo, and Madagascar. Always on the list are Finding Nemo, Lion Kind, and Cars
• She loves puzzles and blocks, building with anything she think will stack
• She still loves cars and trains
• She's starting to really not need naps every day. It seems the longer she goes without one however the sleep she needs eventually catches up. We're not quite ready to stop all together. (Read, mommy isn't quite ready to have her stop napping yet)
• Her favorite color is red, loves it, not rally sure why accept maybe because of Lightening McQueen in Cars.
• She loves to dance and sing. She mostly sings Disney songs, her favorites Hakuna Matata, Life is a Highway (from Cars), and she loves Adele's Rumor Has It.
• Favorite foods include oranges, broccoli, animal cookies, crackers, pasta, macaroni & cheese with hotdogs, cheese pizza, string cheese, turkey, strawberries, cereal, pancakes and waffles, yogurt, and fortune cookies when we have some around.
• She loves to know what Audrey is doing at all times, loves to come say good morning after waking from a nap or nights sleep, and loves to come when we change Audrey's diaper.
• She's a very lovey girl. She will out of nowhere tell you how she loves you or give you hugs and kisses. She's very sweet and hates to see others upset. (She once accidently kicked Audrey and when she realized what she did she burst out crying. Audrey cried for about 10 seconds and then laughed at Sam. Sam only calmed down when she gave Audrey a kiss and told her she was sorry)
• She gets upset easily at times, but also gets over things easily, as long as she has a wipe. haha She will cry and then need a tissue or something to wipe her tears, otherwise she will continue to be upset.
• She also has the best memory of anyone ever. She will remember things we told her weeks ago, and randomly bring up something we did a year ago like it was yesterday. It will be interesting to see what her first memory will be.
