How could I forget?

Posted By on December 23, 2010

There was one picture that Mark took with all those other ones I just posted that I totally forgot to post and it is one of our favorites!  Samantha has the cutest expression.  Mark asked me why I didn’t post it, but it was truly just an oversight.  Sorry, honey!

Last night Sam was in the kitchen with us and out of the blue she started walking around without holding onto anything!  She has not really been walking much, despite the fact that she took her first unassisted steps quite a while ago.  At the time, we had hoped (and expected) she would be walking by Christmas, but we have been having our doubts lately.  She did really well last night — she probably went about 3-4 feet before plopping down.  She tripped on her highchair, so it wasn’t really her fault.  She walked along on her own about 3 times before she had enough and was back scooting on her butt.  She never crawls now.  She is either scooting along or walking holding on.  It’s like she thinks crawling is for babies and she is a big girl now.  I got some video of her walking, including her tumble.  This morning I was watching the video on the camcorder and Sam was watching too (she loves to see her pictures).  When we got to the part where she fell, she cracked up!  Well, at least she has a good attitude.  Every time she takes a little tumble, we try to make it seem funny so she doesn’t get discouraged.  Hopefully, she will be toddling around soon!
