Samantha, you are two years old!
You are growing up to be such a smart, independent young person.
You know all the letters.
You know all the numbers up to 13.
You have a huge vocabulary and can clearly communicate using complete sentences.
You are silly! You like to make us laugh by joking around.
You like for us to pretend to cry so you can give us kisses to help us feel better.
You love sweets! Since you discovered chocolate on Halloween, you've been asking for "treats" almost everyday.
You love to run around the house.
You love to stay home in your pajamas all day.
You can put together 24-piece puzzles with minimal help.
You peed in the toilet yesterday!
You love your brother.

We love you!!!

He's here! He arrived on November 11 at 7:35 am. A healthy 10 pounds, 7 ounces and 21.5 inches long. He looks just like Samantha did at birth. The same black hair. The same button nose, and the same set of lungs that can wake the neighbors when he is upset. He hasn't been upset much, though. He is so mellow. When he isn't eating or sleeping, he's just looking at the world around him. He is breastfeeding like a champ. He latched on less than an hour after birth, and my milk has already come in.
Samantha met him yesterday (Nov. 12). I was a little nervous about how she would react and how that first meeting would go, but I needn't have. She was excited to see her little brother and wanted to hold him. She kept petting him and giving him kisses. So cute!
Pictures to come soon!
