Samantha is 2!

Samantha Nicole Vance turned 2 on Wednesday!!

Jeremy took off of work and we took her and Aaron to see Santa at the mall. Later on in the evening we had family over for her Tinkerbell birthday party! She really enjoyed everyone singing to her. She got a few new baby dolls, her first dollhouse, an umbrella and a purse.

I am amazed at how much she's grown in the past few months, not just in size but in vocabulary and what she can do! I am so proud to be her mother. She is such a joy to be around!

Some of her favorite things to do are dancing, singing, running, jumping, "flying" and copying Aaron. She loves spaghetti, mashed potatoes, fruit, rice and fruit snacks. She enjoys watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Tinkerbell. Sammie is really into Look and Find books.

She is really looking forward to meeting her new baby brother due to arrive in a few weeks. She likes to pat my belly and say that he is kicking her. I know she will be a big help.

Samantha I love you so much and can't wait to see each day what you will learn and what delights you!

Waiting

Boy I have been really bad with blogging as of late!

We have had a fun fall full of playing in leaves, picking out pumpkins and trick or treating.

Also my belly has been growing as we look forward to greeting the new member of our family within a month. I can't believe how fast time flies. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was telling Jeremy we were pregnant. In fact it was on his birthday (April 15). Now we have the babies room ready and Aaron and Sammie are looking so forward to meeting their brother. Aaron is anxious for his brother to be named but we are still undecided. He has been called Batman and Other Aaron in the meantime.

I have really enjoyed fall this year. We have been active between playing outside, and watching Notre Dame and the Colts. It has been such a mild fall temp wise. Now next week Samantha turns 2 and Thanksgiving is upon us. I am so thankful for my family!
