Sam is quite fascinated with stickers. She will go through sheets and sheets of them in a matter of minutes. Mostly, all she likes to do with them is stick them on her shirt, and half of them wind up on top of each other, but whatever, she is having fun. The other day though she quietly, and methodically, started putting stickers on one of our pillows. She really was thinking about where each one should go. After she was done, I told her I would take her picture, the artist with her masterpiece! Most of the stickers are still on the pillow, even though this was over a week ago. She pulls some off once sometimes and puts them on her shirt or pajamas (she sleeps with a sticker or two quite often). At least it is keeping me from opening a new pack for her for a while. She was so proud of herself for what she accomplished, and I must say, I am proud of her talent too.

About a week ago, we met a friend and her kids at Linvilla Orchards so that the kids could play together, visit the animals, and see Pumpkinland. What a crazy day! We sort of underestimated the number of people who would be there (why, I don’t know since we’ve been there before). It was a madhouse, a total crush, but the kids had fun. Sam enjoyed looking at the animals, playing the the playground, and picking out pumpkins!
Our house is all decked out for Halloween this year, something I don’t normally do. I don’t particularly like Halloween, but with a little one, I am starting to remember why I used to think it was so great. I can’t wait to dress Sam up and take her trick or treating this year. And Sam loves it — after all, the lights I strung are orange! She loves running around pointing out all the pumpkins, ghosts, bats, and spiders I have in our windows. This past weekend, I went outside while Sam was looking out to try to surprise her. She was pretty shocked to see Mommy pop up!

Have we mentioned Sam’s liking for crazy patterns on her clothes? No? Well, she likes them. Stripes, dots, whatever you can find. It is a battle every day to get her dressed, between her obsession with the color orange and wanting to wear it every single day, to wanting to wear stripes or dots or whatever. Usually she actually manages to leave the house looking good, but some days, whew boy, what an outfit. On this particular occasion, she didn’t start out this way, the shirt and socks were on, but she was wearing solid pants. The pajamas Mark picked that night coincidentally had striped pants and, well, this is what happened.
Sam was in heaven! Look at that happy face.
Is she striking a pose here or what?
Sam loves to be flipped upside down. She laughs so hard. Here, she was trying to show Mark her socks. Her feet had been straight up in the air.
I love this picture. She does this to me a lot now — just comes up behind me and hugs. Sam’s hugs are better than any in the whole world.

There are so many days now where Sam is just plain silly. We call her a silly goose all the time and now when she knows she is being funny and I say, “What are you doing?” she yells out “Goose!” It is so cute. Here are some random cute moments.
In this one, Mark was goofing around with her while putting her pajamas on and he put his fleece pullover on her. She seemed to like it. I wondered if he’d get it back!
Sam loves to play Peekaboo (which she calls Peekoo). She is always hiding (although, it’s not much of a hide because she tells us “Hiding!” before she does it). Her latest spot was in the pantry. She also likes behind pillows, in my lap (she hides her face from Mark) and behind our chairs.
It has been getting really cold lately, and Sam has moved on from wearing her baseball hat to wearing an actual knit, winter hat. She has a few, but has been really obsessed with the Pooh one. Here she is, our little bear, swinging on her swing, and hiding behind a tree.

Well, after the latest computer mishaps, I think we are finally good to go. Mark and I gave in and bought a new computer. We thought the idea of losing all of our photos, and my not being able to blog about our amazing little girl, were too horrible to contemplate, so we just bought a new machine. It took us a few days to get it up and running, but we are back, hopefully for a long, long time.
We have been so busy lately! The next couple of posts are going to seem to have a lot jumbled together all at one time, but I have to catch up the best I can. So, here goes.
Here are the promised “big girl” swing photos. I can’t believe how Sam has grown up. We have been trying out all the playgrounds in the area to see if we find one she especially likes, and there are so many she loves. It is fun watching her explore each one and what it has to offer. The swing photos are at the playground at the end of our street, but we have been all over lately. Sam finally got brave enough to go through some of the tunnels built into the equipment. Just this summer she was too afraid to go, now she loves it. Sam climbs everything like a little monkey now. We really have to watch her like a hawk!
