Practicing her walk

On Sunday, Sami learned that she could use the garbage can as a push toy for walking. We were amazed that she learned that on her own. But the garbage can?! Yuckos. So yesterday morning we went to Once Upon A Child, a fabulous second hand store for children's stuff (thanks Suzanne!) and found her a real push toy that's fun and not filled with germs. By afternoon, she had learned to use it on her own and was busy "walking" around the house.

We can't believe how fast she's growing up. This weekend I was washing her old clothes, getting them ready for Janie, and I couldn't get over how fast she's changed. This time last year, we were getting ready for her. Which reminds me that November is National Adoption Month. YEAH FOR ADOPTION!!!

Holy cow she has changed quickly! It was just 11 months ago that I was holding her as a newborn! Oh how time flies! But I'm so excited that you get to do it all over again next month and have a completely different experience with Janie!

Wow! Samantha is amazing! She's going to be running all over the house soon! That'll be nice that she'll be walking (somewhat) when Janie is born! I bought that same toy for Benjamin when he was little.

Go Sami!! It's so fun to watch the girls learning to walk together. Julia's about the same stage right now - we're so glad they're friends :)

She's getting more beautiful! My kids still love that same toy that Becca gave us!
