Things in Samanthaland are going really well and we are excited about the upcoming fall and winter months. Samantha is growing and changing like crazy--it seems like each week brings a new change/developmental milestone!
Over the past few weeks, we have noticed that Sam loves to "talk" a lot more. She makes some very funny noises and loves it when people mimic her sounds.
She also LOVES to put everything in her mouth. The toy of the week is Sophie, her rubber giraffe, and she chomps on that like no other. I don't have a picture with Sophie, but will get one on here very soon. Along with the constant chomping/gumming comes a lot of drool! Sam has been known to go through a couple of bibs a day. Here she is, trying to chew on one of her rattles!
It feels like each week brings improved head control, and (shocker!) she even seems to be enjoying her tummy time!



She's still not quite sure about the Baby Einstein jumper, but is a bit more intrigued now that we finally got batteries for it!

She definitely doesn't love her monkey costume, but I have managed to get a few pictures in which she isn't screaming her head off!
We're so looking forward to Halloween this weekend. Samantha has been invited to her first Halloween party, which will be hosted by her friend Dominic and his mom, Shelley. Last week, we made it out for another visit with Baby Addison and her mom, Marianne. In addition, we celebrated Allen and Grandma Ishibashi's birthdays with dinner and cake on Sunday evening (I managed to forget my camera, so no pictures!).
Happy Early Halloween!
She is soo cute - I miss her and of course, you too! Wow, she has changed so much in the few weeks since I have seen her last! So smiley!
