Baby Doll/ New Tooth

Sammie is so attached to baby dolls. She "fell in love" when she got to my old Cabbage Patch kid and then it was official when we saw Cousin Abigail and Sammie was attached to her baby dolls. As soon as Sammie sees one she goes bananas wanting to hold it. We went to a couple stores today and she tried cuddling the dolls through the packaging. A lady nearby commented how sweet it was because not all little girls like dolls and it's a good thing Sammie likes them. Well, I guess she is going to be a great nurturer! We officially have one of Santa's elves on the hunt to find the perfect doll for Samantha.

Cuddling with dolly and gumming the shopping cart.

On a different note: We found the reason Sammie has been clingy. As I was checking her gums during brushing this evening, I found a  new top tooth (right) and 3 more white buds (one top left, 2 bottom). Poor Angel!

Sammie is doing such a great job listening and following directions. Some times it's hard to believe that she is becoming such a little girl. You can tell her to do a lot of things and if willing, she will do it. We are very proud of her!
Example: Give it to me; Throw it away; Sit down and take your socks off; Put your ear against the tub; Let's get in your car seat; Let's get your blankie/sippee cup/change your diaper. Where is your sippee cup?
