Happy 18 month birthday!

| March 23, 2011

I can’t believe my little girl is 18 months old today.  Samantha, you are such a big girl now.  I was watching you play at your grandparents’ house today and you seemed so very grown up.  You were playing with toys in ways you never did before and doing things that only a few months ago you were not capable of doing.  You can so easily master things now, figuring out how they work and what makes things happen.  You understand words and directions in ways that boggle my mind seeing as you don’t really know how to talk.  You looked so pretty today in your little overalls I just wanted to eat you up!  Thank you for your smiles, your hugs, all the fun, and your quiet little giggles you give me now at night while we snuggle before you go into your crib.  I love you so much.  I will always love you no matter what.  You are an incredible person and I can’t wait to celebrate all your little half-year birthdays with you as you grow up.  Sleep tight, my little pumpkinhead.  I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.
