A few more birthday pictures of Miss Samantha!
Three!
This little face kills me…
and I get lots of silly faces from this one!
Life sure would be boring without this one!
We’re so glad she’s ours!
THREE!
Samantha is a THREE year old! As she will clearly tell you, she is not a baby. She is a big girl! The sweetest, most precious, precocious, friendly big girl! She keeps us on our toes, makes us laugh, and also makes us want to pull our hair out. 😉 Oh, I love her so.
From this precious baby girl (born on her due date at 1:04pm)…
To this happy one year old….
To this perfectly perfect two year old….
To this lively three year old!
Oh, how boring our lives would be without this ray of sunshine! She loves her baby dolls, her brothers (though she clearly knows her power and will refuse their hugs just to make them mad! ha!), her momma (clear favorite here! it’s wonderful and exhausting), her Baa-Baa, her bed, and mermaids! She’s a great sleeper, a good eater, and a happy kid. She loves going to school to play with her buddies but I think her favorite days are dance and gymnastics days! She’s athletic and coordinated and has no problem keeping up with her big brothers. We still call her Toots, or Tootie, or Baby, or Squishy…or Samantha. She says breakiful for breakable and pooter for computer. She’s flat out ADORABLE.
This one has an opinion! Oh yes! She is strong-willed but also sugar sweet. Personality coming out of her ears! Life is going to be an adventure with this one.

Happy birthday sweet Samantha! It’s going to be a wonderful year!!
We love you!
Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow
Tomorrow our very very very favorite little girl will be THREE!! How can that be? Three?!
She’s the absolute sweetest…
and the MOST fun…
and, yes, she can be a little bossy (but don’t tell her that!)…
but I wouldn’t trade her feisty little personality for anything in the world.
I cannot wait to celebrate my favorite girl!!!
Happy almost birthday Samantha!
Rolllllll Tide!!
How about a little belated Roll Tide! We all enjoyed the totally crazy, totally stressful, but ultimately awesome National Championship game! Even though Robert had a ticket to go to the game in Atlanta, he chose to stay home and watch it with his favorite Bama fans (work might have played a role in that decision too but, we’ll just pretend he wanted to watch it with us!). Our cheerleader was ready…
and so were our football players!
Robert totally enjoys all the distractions when he watches the game! 🙂
The first half of the game didn’t go as we hoped and, by the second half we were upstairs feeling pretty low. But, the 4th quarter turned things around! Maxwell tried to hard to make it to the end but he couldn’t quite last…
Spencer did though! He was jumping up and down with me and Robert when they scored that overtime touchdown! He was pretty excited to wear his jersey to school the next morning…
It was a fun night! 17! Roll Tide!
Snoozin
Samantha loves her bed and, all in all, is a great sleeper. At night, we rock and sing…and sing…and sing some more (somehow she always convinces me for “another one song”) but then she’ll get in bed and sleep all night. Sometimes nap time…excuse me, “rest” time…can be a challenge but she usually goes down with no problem. I took this picture in November…
Sleeping angel.
I took both of these pictures within the last week…
As you can see, the number of lovies in her bed has increased dramatically! ha! I don’t know how she even has room to sleep but it doesn’t seem to bother her. She’s been loving those Frozen pjs for nap lately and also has been taking her sleepsack off before actually going to sleep. Whatever makes her happy! I sure do love this little angel.
