How did she get so big?
Posted By pamelamyers on December 22, 2010
Sam is getting to be such a big girl now, it is hard to believe she is not a baby anymore. Mark and I were looking at pictures from last Christmas, and she is so little! Sam doesn’t even look like the same person anymore. Every day she does things that show us how fast she is growing up and it reminds me to cherish every second because time goes by before you know it.
Last night, I was feeding Sam some oatmeal and for the first time she kept grabbing at the spoon because she wanted to feed herself. She is defnitely not capable of actually holding a spoon on her own without spilling food everywhere, but she had the desire to try, that’s for sure. I let her hold the spoon and I sort of held it with her and guided it to her mouth. She looked so happy with each spoonful! I bought her some toddler forks and spoons so I think at mealtime it might be time to let her start practicing.
I had mentioned before how she is starting to imitate us a lot. Well, now she imitates Zephyr! When Zephyr meows (which she does quite often….) Sam meows too. It is sort of just a modification of the “Owww” sound she has been making, but you can tell she means it to be a meow since she looks right at Zephyr when she does it. The other morning, I went to get Sam up from her nap and Zephyr was upstairs napping too. Zephyr heard me coming and jumped down off of the bed and meowed really loudly. Immediately after that, I heard a soft, “meooowwwww” come from Sam’s room. She is so adorable.
Our little one is STILL not walking, which I thought would have happened by now, but she is content to cruise along holding onto furniture, her push walker, or us (whatever is handy). She takes a few tentative steps on her own, but is not confident enough to really walk on her own yet. We’re working on it!
Oh, and one more bottom molar is poking through, this time on the left. I figured it out when I was trying to clean her teeth and she bit me. Yikes! I will be glad when she is done with the teething, and I think she will too.
