Its been forever! Not sure if I can upload videos.. but I'm going to attempt my first one. We finally got a new camera and we splurged for the dual camera and video in one! And we've been catching Samantha doing all kinds of funny things lately..
Hopefully this will work.. cause I have one more to share.

The Happenings of November ...
Well its Turkey Day next week..1 week from today to be exact! Where has the time gone? But Im seriously super anxious to get the holidays underway.. shhh..
I think the forecast even said snow on turkey day.. ahhhh wouldnt that be great? I know I know some of you reading are huffing and saying secretly "is she crazy?" ... No, I really do want to see that white stuff.. Bring it on!! We didnt move back from the south for nothin'...haha!!
Last weekend we spent Veterans Day weekend in Ohio with Mathew's parents. It was such a nice trip! But we decided that Samantha doesnt care for napping in the car.. so we headed back early Sunday instead of waiting for her to get tired.. She slept in her own crib when we got home for 3 hours.. I think thats gonna be the routine every time we travel now .. leave BEFORE naptime.. Not during.
Anyways.. our beloved netbook has gone to laptop heaven.. and we have to upload to our old laptop which only works when plugged into the modem, so pics will have to wait ...
This weekend Im a bakin' fool... Its brigid's baby shower on Sunday.. so im sooo excited to bust out my bakeware, cupcake cups, and frosting bags/tips
I'll be SURE to post pics of those!

Weekend Full O' Nothin'
Well we had a chilly weekend here! Fall is definately here and dare I say winter is creeping around the corner? .. We didnt really do much this weekend, and I didnt realize it until I was actually speaking with Erica on the phone today.. ha!
We had the heaters crankin', the pumpkin spice candles burnin' and we layed around under blankets, and played with Samantha and her toys, read books, Momma cooked a little, Daddy cooked a little...and Momma baked a pie!
I just couldnt go through fall without baking at least 1 pie. Usually its cupcakes in my oven, but I needed a little break.
I'll be making cupcakes for Thanksgiving.. and for my cousin Brigid's Baby Shower next weekend so that will be quite enough..
Samantha has found some new things to be obsessed with.... I will try to post pics of her in action, but she loves stickers and coloring. I think I already have some of her coloring .. esp the previous post.
She is also a little mimic. Everything I do.. she does.. but some of her favorites are ... putting on lipgloss (we pretend of course) but she is learning how to get the caps off of some.. so i cant let her take them too far out of sight.
Playing hide and go seek. She knows how to play, and hides in the same spot everytime its her turn to hide.
Coloring.. if she sees a pen, crayon, marker... you BETTER let the girl color.. and for at least 20-30 minutes... Melt downs WILL occur with a half-assed coloring session.
Hot Water... We usually give her a bath or rinse off in the shower... and tonight she nearly fell asleep in Daddy's arms..
This pic is a little riskee... haha.. But you get the idea.. total relaxation.. and the Momma is tres jealous!

16 Months
16 Months
November 5, 2010
Samantha Jane you are 16 Months old today!
You are in size 3 diaper.
I’d imagine you weigh about 22lbs?
Still 10 teeth (I think)…I don’t dare check… you have bitten momma a few times.
You are wearing all 18-24 month clothes.
You are trying SO hard to talk! You will have full conversations with us, and we feel so badly that we don’t understand what you are trying to say.. we usually say, “show me”… and sometimes we can get at what you are saying.
This month I guess I can write about how hysterical you have been lately. You make Daddy and I crack up! One of our favorite things to do is watch you when you’re not looking.. haha.. You love to open the pantry door, and “rummage” for goodies.. and then when I am cleaning it out or looking for something I’ll find an occasional rubber duck, or block in there.
You love momma’s computer. So occasionally I’ll spoil you and sit you on my lap to touch the keys. You definitely know where the “S” key is, you can sound out the letter S.. so we’re working on other letters too.
You love to color and draw.. hmm, a budding artiste? Taking after Momma I believe. You can hold a regular crayon and have been able to for some time now. You get so upset when I take them away when were done.
I think we’ll have to ask Santa for some coloring books and art supplies for Christmas.
Just last week you discovered how to take pictures of yourself. You actually hold the camera in the right direction up away from your face.. then you scruch up your face like you are smiling, and you take a picture! haha!! You also try to do it with my cell phone.. But I think the "flash" on the digital camera is more fun.
You are a little piggy eater which makes me soooo happy. You eat everything, chicken, meat, fish, cheeses, fruits, veggies, and you LOVE and know what Peanut Butter is now.
