Our baby girl is ONE!! ( Plus a month, I'm super slow at posting) It's so Crazy! I can't believe it! I have loved Sammie at this age. She's definitely starting to have her own little personality, which I love. She is still our sweet, easy going happy baby. But, she has started to get a little attitude.
She is a very busy baby. Not so much a naughty busy, just busy. She is always doing something. Lately she likes to: play with toys, play in any cupboard or drawer she can open, "clean", dance, or follow Seth and I around. She likes to play with her princes castle she got for Christmas and also her babies. She loves to sit in her chair. I think it makes her feel big. She still LOVES to read books. If we go in her room with her, we usually end up having to read books. She especially love "Llama Llama Hippity Hop".
Samantha started really walking around the beginning of December. She is a pro now. She looks so funny when she walks because she is still pretty little. She loves to walk around the house holding our hands. It's pretty adorable when she takes her daddy for a walk.
She is a good little "talker". I'm worried for when she can really talk, I don't think we will ever get her to stop. She can say: ma ma, da da, dog, hi, what's that, uh oh, hot, wow, shh, and ruff ruff. She loves to "talk".
She likes most food. She's not very picky but we never know what she will actually eat. If you give her eggs one day she will love them, the next day not so much. But for the most part she's good at eating. Lately she loves: grapes, bananas, baby oranges, green beans, carrots, cheese, yogurt, and anything with pasta. She will not touch milk!!! This has been the most frustrating thing to figure out with her. We have tried chocolate milk, strawberry milk, almond milk, anything we could think of. The last few days I have been able to mix milk and yogurt together and she will drink it!! Cross my fingers it stays that way!
Sweet little Samantha is a horrible sleeper. She went a few months sleeping through the night. Now at 13 months she wakes up at least twice. I feed her once, but honestly I don't think she is really hungry. I'm not very good with letting her "cry it out". I know this is so bad but I'm kind of use to getting up and it's our time together. It's so hard to work and not see her all day. So when my baby wants me I kind of want her too. It would be nice to get a full 8 hours of sleep again. Hopefully one day it will happen. That is my goal while I'm off track; getting her to sleep through the night and be done breastfeeding. I've been off for almost a week and haven't been very successful with either.
I still can not believe it has been a year already. Everyone tells you it goes by so fast and you never believe them until it happens to you. I love being a mom. I can't imagine life any other way. Learning to be a "working mom" hasn't been easy. I have had many morning where I cry on my way to work. But, I am so lucky to have my mom, sister, and sister in law watch my sweet girl for me.That honestly has made this way easier. I love spending every minute with Sammie when I get home from work. I live for the weekends more than I ever have. Seth and I don't go on dates alone very often. We hate taking Sammie to a babysitter after she has been with one all week. It's really just us being selfish. :) It's hard to explain how much you can love your kid. It's crazy to me that I can love someone so much. Happy one year baby girl!!!
