4/8/14: Look at me go!
April 8, 2014
Today Samara hopped on her musical truck and started pushing herself around in it. Look at her go!
The expression on Samara's face is hilarious here.
*Sigh* I am so jealous of Samara's eyelashes on her cute little face.
And, of course, she still needs to perfect getting her socks on and off.

4/7/14: I can put my sock on!
April 7, 2014
After many months of taking her socks off, Samara has learned how to put them back on. The first time she was able to do it today, she let out a big satisfied noise and looked very pleased with herself.
Samara likes to repeat her newfound skills over and over again. I watched her take off her sock and put it back on for the next 5 minutes. Then she crawled over to me and smacked the phone out of my hands.

4/6/14: Orange Leaf
April 6, 2014
We brought Samara to Orange Leaf to try her first frozen yogurt. When I asked Samara if she wanted any yogurt, here was her response:
But she gladly took some from Daddy.
We tried to wipe her face, but Samara chose to wipe her nose instead.
After that, she went back for more Oreo.

After a few bites, Samara didn't want anymore frozen yogurt and just wanted to play with the spoons. Seth tried giving her some piece of waffle cone, and the video below captures her need for having a third hand. You might want to lower your volume - for some reason this video is louder than the last one.
4/4/14: On the counter
April 4, 2014
Seth was eating some nuts and Samara decided she wanted some, too. They are kind of messy, so I put Samara on the counter so the mess stayed somewhat contained. When Seth put the nuts away, Samara became interested in the apples.

4/1/14: Stairs
April 1, 2014
Samara has learned to crawl up the stairs (video courtesy of Seth):
so we need to be careful about locking the gate. Her routine is as follows: she crawls to the gate, opens it, goes up a stair or two, and locks the gate behind her. Then she either goes up the stairs or she hangs out on the steps. Samara is doing the latter in the video below.

3/30/14: Gimme those sesame sticks!
March 30, 2014
Samara still hasn't deliberately used words yet, but she does communicate by pointing. When she is hungry, she will point to her high chair. When she is thirsty, she will point to the counter where her sippy cups are located. In the video below, you will see her point at the sesame sticks that she wants. Unfortunately, the video does not show her having a sesame stick in each hand, wanting a third sesame stick, and being confused about how to hold all three.

3/29/14: Playing with my chair
March 29, 2014
Samara's new thing is climbing into and out of her chair. And then she repeats this about one million times until she gets stuck and/or tired.

3/25/14: This is how I take my pants off
March 25, 2014
Well, the title says it all. The first video is how she starts the process. Then she got distracted by her toys for about a minute, which I cut from the video, and resumed when she realized she needed to finish the process.

3/24/14: Typical afternoon
March 24, 2014
Nowadays, a typical evening looks something like this: Samara plays with her toys, she eats dinner, she plays again, we wait until Seth gets home, he gets her ready for bed and reads her stories, then bedtime.
Samara is coordinated enough that she can manipulate the various activities on her wooden activity easel. Today, she decided to see what the wood tasted like:
Apparently, it did not taste very good.
Then she tried pulling the string that was hanging off the bottom of the couch for about 5 minutes.

When 5 o'clock rolls around, it is dinner time!
Afterwards, she waits for Daddy to get home. When she hears the door open, she begins smiling like crazy and crawls towards him. Then, at the last minute, she veers around Seth and his outstretched arms and starts to play with his shoe horn, or his shoes, or a plastic bag. Wuh wuhhh.
