Samantha has been doing some really cute things lately. Never a dull moment. She loves dragging things around, like this corded phone (below). She also will take most anything, put it behind her ear and start chatting away. My dad taught her to stomp, so now she loves putting her shoes on and stomping. She gets really excited about socks and shoes. She also learned how to kick a ball, so she gets all excited when she sees a ball and rushes up to kick it. Nick got her a toddler basketball hoop for Christmas and we set it up recently. She can actually reach way up and get the ball in the hoop. It is for 18-36 months, so we joke that she is very advanced for her age. We are taking bids for soccer and basketball scholarships :) The best thing lately, however, is that Sam has learned how to hug. She puts her arm around you and says "Ohhh." It is the sweetest thing ever! At least to me.

Check out this cute sweater!

Here is Sam watching a baby einstein about animals and having a snack. She loves "Old McDonald" and was cute grooving out and "singing" along.
