I love your funny face
Your sunny, funny face
Though you’re a cutie
With more than beauty
You’ve got a lot of
Personal-i-ty for me
No snow for Sam
pamelamyers | January 29, 2011
As I have mentioned before, we have a lot of snow right now and we are all pretty disgusted with it. Even Sam is not too thrilled with the whole thing. She is always a little wary when we take her out sledding until she gets the hang of it, and the other day Mark made her a snowball and brought it in the house and we couldn’t even get her to touch it! Mark went out to shovel (again) but before doing so decided to let Sam see what was going on outside. I absolutely love the look on her face. She is standing in the doorway looking outside and she appears to be thinking, “What the heck? Are you crazy? I’m not going out there!”
She is pretty much walking exclusively now, with very little scooting around on her butt (except when she is really, really tired). It took what seemed like forever since her first real steps on her own, but at 16 months, she is there. She walks very confidently now. I think she has finally realized that walking is fun and can get her places much more quickly and efficiently. She carries things, bends down and picks things up, and steps over and around obstances without any trouble now. She also regains her balance easily. I am sure that very soon she will realize that running is not that much harder than walking and then off she will go!
My little girly girl

Sam can definitely enjoy some rough and tumble play, but deep down she is such a girl. And I think a girly girl at that. She doesn’t seem to really like to be messy, she is always very gentle when she touches things and with her toys, and she is super huggy and lovable. And she looooves jewelry! Any chance she gets she plays with my necklaces, watch, rings, anything she can get her hands on. For Christmas I had asked for a few pieces of “teething jewelry” which basically are necklaces made from baby safe materials so that when you are wearing them, and a baby starts to chew on them, it’s ok. There was a blue one that I thought looked really cool online, but in person it is not so great. Oh well. But Sam certainly loves it! It has become her necklace. We only let her play with it when we are around so she doesn’t accidentally choke herself somehow but we really have to watch her like a hawk because the minute she sees it in the morning she puts it on and won’t willingly take it off. She looks so proud of herself when she walks around in it.
Here she is putting it on over her pajamas. Not her most stylish moment, but adorable nonetheless.
As you can see, the baby safe chewing aspect comes in handy!
