One Year Old pictures....finally

So here are her one year old pictures. They took them at her school/daycare and I thought they turned out really good, so I'm using them as her one year old pictures.






This picture is of Sam's grandpa, Sam Callan. I'm not sure how old he was here, but cover up the hair and Smantha looks just like him. He has since passed, but he used to be a quarter back for UT Austin. He was a very tall man. If Samantha truly does take after him, I'm going to have a pee wee football player on my hands...or basketball...or volleyball. Or she just might be girly like me and want to do dance, maybe ballet ? :)

She can feed herself...sort of :)

I was feeding Samantha Ramen (I know, that stuff is terrible for you). She decided to grab the fork and feed herself. She did make a mess, but also got a lot in her mouth. Now everytime I try to feed her she grabs thte spoon and wants to do it herself. She ate a whole bowl of macaroni and cheese yesterday and she did it all by herself. She wants to be so independent these days...it's sad.

it's been a while...

It's been a really long time since I've posted anything...sorry. I've been sooo busy lately. I started school and my student teaching (7th grade English) and I've also been searching for a really good daycare for Samantha. I'm lucky that Sam's mom watches her mon and fri and my mom watches her in the evening when I have school. Mimi also takes of her during the week instead of taking her to daycare. It's been so hard for her to adjust. So anyway, here are just a few, random pictures from the last month.






Here are a few pictures from her first birthday.






This is her outside. She loves to play in the sprinklers.


Here we are reading a book at Mimi's house. She loves books.
