Something Fishy...

This week we went to the aquarium with our friends Ashlie and Brynlee. Sammi and Brynlee are at that age where fish and animals are fascinating. We got to see many types of fish, frogs, sharks, turtles and a giant snake. Sammi actually touched a sting ray which she liked the first time. She then refused to even try it again after her one successful touch. Both girls liked the penguins and we tried to get a picture of them in front of the penguin exhibit. Ashlie and I might have taken fifty pictures and this is the best one I took! They aren't even looking at me! Well I tried. We love Ashlie and Brynlee and always have a fun time on our play dates!

I think they are smiling at Ashlie, who was on my left!
Look at those cuties!

Counting, Sammi's Way

Sammi keeps growing and changing, reminding me everyday that she is no longer a baby but a little girl. Recently she has learned to count, well not count perfectly but she tries. She enjoys lining up her toys and counting them. Her counting goes as follows: two, (yes I know she skips one, she just won't say it!), three, four, five, six, Sammi, Nate, nine, ten. Yes, you read that right, she thinks seven is "Sammi" and eight is "Nate" and I can see why it might be confusing. We will keep working on it but in my opinion it is super cute.

She also started asking for me to take her picture. She will point to the camera and say "Cheese" cause after all that is what you say when your picture is about to be taken. It is appropriate cause she has a cheesy smile!

In case you are wondering that is an apple in her mouth!
