1) She loves pickles!
2) She hasn't started walking yet, but she does stand on her own, push things and has managed to take a few steps along from the ottoman to the couch. BTW - the first time she did this was to her daddy when I was in the bathroom -- I know, I know ...I am the at-home Mom. Welcome to one of the many times you will say as a parent "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
3) Early on she started saying Mama (about 8 mths), daddy (9 months) and baby (in between somewhere), but I have never gotten it on video - so here goes (click on link). Also, she says "yello" (aka hello) when she holds the phone to her ear, but the best in the serious, and very long conversations she will have with you - animations included - though none of the words are understandable. She will even repeat, like "come-on people!"

4) She will pretend to read books herself, flipping pages and saying "yabba-yabba...,"
5) She will open your hand, hand you a book and then turn herself around to sit in your lap
6) She LOVES hugs and will constantly pull you in or grab your hand to her and rest her head on it...my favorite moments
7) If she wants something, she will scream -- "Ahh" and point until you figure it out. Not my favorite thing, esp. in public. ;)
8) In the past 2 months her and Sadie have become best friends! She lays on her, kisses her and hugs on her and Sadie comes back for more! Every morning Sadie rushes to give her slobbering kisses.
9) Child loves to dance, even though I fear she has her father's dancing skills
10) Give her a brush and anything similar and she will brush her hair and yours.
11) The saddest, she stopped breastfeeding 2 weeks after her 1 year birthday. sniff, sniff. But, I was happy to have gone that long
12) This week she has slept in TWICE until 8 am -- that is maybe 2 of the 4 times she has ever done that woo-hoo
13) Her favorite toys - tuberware and spoons on the kitchen floor, and a sack of potatoes -- in other words, anything that has not been bought as a "baby toy."
So, in other words, she is growing up beautifully, but WAY TOO QUICKLY!!

13 months, seems like forever huh? i remember when little Samantha Paige Newbrough was just an idea, and when there was a whole school turned upside down with the thought of our "School Mom" being a Real Mom.
Pretty close to a year and i can't remember the last time i said hi, or gave a call or heard anything from you. And while walking down the icy covered street and falling something in my head said, i should find Mami and see how shes doing. Soo google helped mostly with the finding and im just doing the typing.
Theres a lot that you've missed dear Mami, and i think that you should probably reply back via email or something along those lines. Say hi to Keith, and sadie. and Give Samantha Paige a hug for me.
Sincerely,
Nick Walters
What is it about pickles? LOL My kids all loved those too when they were babies.....still do! And would make that same sour face. :)
