Sam perched on our new, surprisingly comfortable inflatable chair.

She was hiding in here. These clothes used to be folded.

Sam loves hats.
She is wearing 4...yes, 4...in this picture.

Sam is really getting big now. No more baby in this little girl! She can say momma, dad, baby, bighug (sounds like biiiiiiiihiiiiiiii), pretty, and just yesterday said "no" when my father asked her for his reading glasses back! It was so funny--she thought about it then said "no". Everyone just about died laughing! She is climbing EVERYTHING. I can't keep her off the table or chairs. She can drink from a cup now almost without spilling anything, and can fall asleep without nursing. She loves to spend a lot of time in her little pool in the backyard, and she goes to a gym daycare with me a couple times a week, which she really enjoys. She still really enjoys her friends in playgroup--Jack, Madeline, Eleyna, Curtis, and Ben--and we are looking forward to a summer in the water! She still loves to read, and likes to hang out with mommy & daddy's cool friends, especially Jill and Dirk. She was flirting shamelessly with Dirk last night; I guess it's a good thing he's moving to L.A.!
Her favorite foods are still cheese, hot dogs, pasta with red sauce, chicken, and fruit. She also LOOOVES raisins. Hope you enjoy looking at the latest pictures!!
