We have snuck in some fun in between all of our room and baby preparations. Speaking of which, Samantha's baby brother is scheduled to join us on October 5th, unless he decides he wants to come earlier. As of right now, Samantha is excited at the prospect of becoming a big sister. She is very sweet to baby brother, and even gave him a little reassurance today when I told her we were going to the doctor this week to check on him. She patted my belly and said "It'll be okay baby brother. I'll take care of you!" I hope she'll be just as sweet when he gets here!
We have been very into dolls this summer. Changing them, feeding them, you name it! Steve helped her learn how to swaddle her babies, since he was the master swaddler. He decided to try it out on Samantha just to see if it could still be done. Guess what? It can, and she thought it was hilarious!
Steve and his mini-me celebrate Father's Day.
Taking a spin in the wagon with Daddy and Papaw on Father's Day. Mommy stayed behind on the porch!!
Big Guy and Grammy came to visit in June. Samantha took them to eat at her 2 favorite places .... Chuck E Cheese and Chick Fil A. We really treated them to some high quality dining, didn't we? Big Guy had to show her how skee ball is done.
Chick Fil A hosted a touch a truck event while Mom and Dad were here. It was pretty neat. They had all sorts of emergency vehicles for the kids to look at and sit in. Of course, none of the trucks held a candle to the real star of the event - the Chick Fil A cow!
Samantha in her 4th of July finery at the Loser's Party, which is thrown every year by our next door neighbors, who are British. She was a hit in her red, white and blue!
Always, always wanting to help - she was a big "help" when Daddy painted the walls of her new big girl room. Goodbye Goldenrod Yellow, hello Cotton Candy pink! (And, please, don't call it pink. It is Cotton Candy Pink!)
Celebrating her friend Garrison's 3rd birthday.
Hamming it up with Papaw and Wawa after she gave them their anniversary present. She was very excited about it. She put the stickers on all by herself, and even recorded them a message.
I'm not really sure what this was about. I stripped her down one day when we had spaghetti-o's for lunch. I turned away for a second and she decided to just make herself comfortable. Whatever works!
When she was at Papaw and Wawa's house last weekend, they made cookies for Dora the Explorer's birthday. They were delicious! I think Samantha enjoyed them too. At least what she was actually able to get in her mouth.
I'm not entirely sure how this trick started. I just know that Samantha thought it was hilarious that Daddy could jump over her head. Yes, those are Steve's legs! We were impressed with the air he was getting on his jumps. Still got it!
This morning, Samantha decided to teach her Bitty Baby how to swim in the ocean. We had to lather Bitty up in suntan lotion and everything. Since it was kind of a messy day outside, we decided to have a picnic lunch on the "beach", like we do at the actual beach. I'm afraid I've set a dangerous precedent ... now she'll request every meal in the floor on a beach towel!
