Growing Up

Over the past few weeks Samantha has suddenly turned from a "toddler/preschooler" to a "little girl". She is using big words when she talks and her sentences actually make sense most of the time. She came home from preschool with her name written on her paper, in her own handwriting. Sure it says S-A-M-I, but hey I'll take that. She likes to watch infomercials and tell me about them. Her latest was all about a popup blocker . Her playing has become much more complex, both with other kids and when by herself, and she has hit the "must change my clothes every 5 minutes" phase. Even her Christmas list is more grown up: Cookie dough (wth?), music CDs, DVDs, clothes, Polly Pockets, Little Pet Shop, Webkinz and a swing set.

Sami looks older now too. Gone is the "baby/toddler" look. Look at this ponytail!



Where did my baby go?
