18 months!

Wow, I can't believe that my little baby is one and a half! She is such an amazing, funny little girl that keeps us laughing all day long.

She loves to hide. When she hears dada coming (home from work, out of the bathroom, in from outside, etc) she excitedly whispers, "hide!" and runs to me. We usually hide under a blanket with her giggling the whole time. She doesn't understand that she's supposed to be quiet when she hides! Dada pretends not to see her and will ask, "Is Samantha in the. . . closet?" And she'll innocently answer, "Noooo." Haha.

She has a little rocking chair that she loves to ride in. She climbs in all by herself and rocks back and forth singing "Row, row, row your boat." She just got a hand-me-down little dog rocker from her friend and she thinks it's the best thing! She goes wild in it! She even stands up and rides it like a surf board!

She's very good at puzzles. She knows the correct places for all the pieces, but sometimes she has a hard time getting the pieces to go exactly in the cut-out space.

Her Cookie Monster Play-doh is one of her favorite toys. She plays with it every single day. She'll either ask for "Cookie" or "play-doh." Sometimes she doesn't even ask, she'll get it off the shelf by herself and start playing with it! So independent!
First she presses the Play-doh into the mold.


Then she looks at it.


Then she feeds her creation to Cookie Monster.

Our favorite activity is to go to the park.
She rides in the swing and sings, "Row, row, row your boat."


Going through the tunnel.

Guess what she sings when she rides on this?


She LOVES these musical instruments.


Wheeee! Going down the slide.

Fingerpainting!





She loves it. She loves it so much that she almost went through the whole tube of fingerpaint in one sitting. She loves it so much that she'll ask for it everyday. As soon as we walk in the door she'll grab her paints and say, "painting!" I love that she loves it so much. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty. She relishes in the feel and the sight of the fingerpaints (thankfully not the taste!). I just ordered her some more paints and paper. I even got some brushes and sponge stampers. I can't wait to see her get creative with it!

Daddy's Little Girl!

(No, she's not really listening to music on the headphones. Just looking cute.)
