Pancakes and eggs definitely go in the list of "likes". Hopefully I don't regret letting her eat so much of them after tomorrow's poopy diaper. The weather was gorgeous today, so we decided to spend some time playing in the yard. Pretty Princess Samantha was not pleased when she would touch the grass. In the first video, we were trying to get her to crawl on the grass, but she kept pulling her hand back everytime she touched it. We managed to capture the icky face she makes when she touches the grass in the second video.
Eventually she overcame her disgust and crawled to Daddy so that she could steal his hat.
She's fascinated by all of Mimi's things. We've moved all of the cat's toys out of the living room, but we've left Mimi's "house". Sammy likes to pull it onto her head and try to drag is across the living room while Mimi is in it.
Miss Samantha turned 8 months old yesterday. I once again cannot believe how fast she is growing. She can crawl amazingly fast, pull up on anything that will hold still, and locate the TV remote no matter how well we think we've hidden it. Pat swears she can sniff it out! It is so amazing to watch her learn new things. We're definitey past the "Out of sight, out of mind" stage. Now when we take things away from her, she goes looking for them.
All of these new physical and mental milestones have brought some separation anxiety with them. These are the times when I'm so greatful to be able to work from home, so that when Sammy is having a "velcro" day, I can stay close. I take it as a good sign that she's so attached to me, and I know that this phase will pass. I may even miss the days when she would cry when I left the room...eventually.
Here's a short video of Sammy looking adorable with her pink diaper and pig tails.
This is a good video of Sammy laughing. She loves playing hide-and-seek right now, so I was ducking down behind the couch and then popping back up. I could listen to her giggle all day!
Almost there...
All the way up!
