Samantha turned 18 months old last Sunday!!!! There is so much happening with our girl, it's nuts! She really has a funny little personality now and is into everything! She loves to explore and doesn't turn down a good climbing obstacle :) Her vocabulary is slowly expanding and she is becoming more friendly with strangers! There are about 1,436 specific things I would like to share about our big girl (who I am kidding..still our little peanut..weighs about 20 pounds!) but I'll be honest...I am TOO tired to put together a well written post about it! How horrible is that??!!! Yes, I will take the title of slacker Mom in the blog world :) Someday I hope to get back to blogging like I used too. I am back working from home full time (babysitting). I watch a 9 month old girl, a 2 year old boy and Samantha!!! I am exhausted!!!! But I am glad I am able to be with my daughter. I am actually making more now, then I did at my old job!! So it is working for us right now.
Like I said, there are so many wonderful things to share about Sam!! And some not so nice things like lack of sleep and the beginning of tantrums! But overall, she is just a little bundle of love and joy for us and we thank God everyday for choosing her to be OURS. :)
Even though I am usually too exhausted to put together a coherent post, I do try to check in from time to time and read and comment. I also like to go back and read some of my older posts. Does anyone else do this? I'm so glad I decided to document our journey this way. Sometimes it's very therapeutic to go back and read about all the happy times and the struggles too! It really makes you realize how far you've come. And tonight I stumbled upon a
post I wrote up where I was doing a contest giveaway. To enter you had to come up with a new infertility drug and list it's side effects. The funnier the better. Reading them again had me cracking up!
I will leave you with few pictures of Samantha...in all her 18 month old glory...

Go Chiefs!! Think they might actually be good this year? :) She is such a cute little girl. I can't imagine how exhausted you are with three kids all day long. That's awesome that you are making even more money now - it's hard-earned for sure.
What a cute pie!
Hey hun! I am totally with you on the exhaustion and no energy part lol! 18 months (really 12-24 months) was my favorite age so far! It really was a "sweet spot" in their development so enjoy it (you know, through all the stress and sheer exhaustion:))! She does look like a little peanut:). You must have your hands full with all those kids but I'm sure it makes you very thankful for the time you have with just ONE and YOUR child:). Puts it into perspective I am sure! Anyway, glad you all are doing so well!
She's just a perfect little sweetheart! I'm so happy that you've found work that is beneficial to you both financially and as a parent :)
The magnet I won is on my fridge, I see it every day and it's a constant reminder of how lucky I am.
Hang in there, lady. You've got a full plate with work and Samantha. She IS getting so big. I love seeing her grow and reading your updates. So keep em coming...but on your terms with no pressure. I know blogging can be yet another thing that you feel bad about because you can't get to it when you're busy. Try to let that go! Hugs.
She is adorable!!! And how is she already 18 months?!? I can't believe you're crazy enough to watch 3 kids all day. I'd be locked in an institution!!!
