Today I am 20 Months Old!

Wow! We can't believe it... Samantha is 20 months old already. Two years is quickly creeping up on us. She has become so much more independent, vocal, opinionated, understanding, funny and sweet!

As I was explaining to Grandma Re this morning that Sammie says "Say" for her name, I asked Sammie to say "Sam" and she did :)

She changed her mind this morning about going to story time because she wanted to play in the water, so I filled up the pool and let her have at it. She kept herself fully occupied while I worked in the backyard. After work and nap, we went to visit Lori and Baby Stella, unfortunately Nate wasn't there. Sammie was so excited to see Stella, but she was more excited that she got to hold her, so much so that she actually cried when I took Stella away. Say-Say did a fantastic job being gentle with Stella, petting her head and looking for her feet, and putting her paci back in when it fell out of her mouth. She is an amazing Lil' Mama!

 

 I ordered Sammie some lacing beads since she's doing a great job with her fine motor skills. She understands the concept, but needs a little help to fully push the lace through. I have no doubt  that she'll get it in a few weeks.  

Samantha said another 3-word phrase this evening after dinner. Since she sat in my chair, she had me sit in DadaRawr's chair. Afterward, when I showed her pictures she would say "That mama chair."
