From the beginning of the month to the end Samantha was quite a busy girl.
She started showing more emotions and figuring how and when to show them. She started clapping her hands when she gets really excited or likes something. Mostly clapping at Skylar when she is doing something silly. But also when she did something cool and her crazy parents would start yelling "Yeah Samantha"
Samantha also started waving hello. When she first started doing it, she waved only at momma. But by the end of the month she was waving at everyone. And of course with a big smile on her face, like always.
She also got her 7Th tooth. And it took all month for it to pop out. Not a fun month. She is the worst teether. Needless to say mommy and Sam had a lot of sleepless nights. But finally on Christmas it came out! Woo Hoo! Which meant about 2 weeks of sleeping good before she started on the next one.
I got her a straw cup and she took right to it. Within 2 days she was sucking away. And now is is drinking 1-2 cups a day. It has made a huge difference in her fussiness and pooing too.
Towards the end of the month Samantha took her first step on her own. It was a very exciting! She would take a step or two before falling flat on her face. Most of the time she didn't cry though, just crawl to somewhere that she could stand up and try again. She is a very determined little girl.
