Samantha Jane has nearly lost her voice. She sounds so pitiful, but doesn't seem to feel bad.
Just drainage I guess. She is so grown up now! Her balance is getting pretty good, and she will
transfer from couch to coffee table, etc. to get where she wants to go. She has added "dog" to her
list of words (aka sounds) that she says consistently, and will wave "hi" or "bye", only when she is the one moving, though. She doesn't do it when someone is walking away from her. She seems to be close to saying "no" but we're doing our best not to say it to her. Loves her finger foods, but WILL NOT hold her own bottle:) and you can forget about a cup! Such a princess! She is still nursing, but will probably lose interest here soon. I think the bottle just fills her up faster, even though she only gets one a day. Caleb and I had a day to ourselves Saturday and got all of her Christmas shopping done. It was so fun! We could have bought hundreds of dollars worth, but since we don't have "hundreds", we refrained! She'll enjoy paper and boxes more, anyway. We got her a frog humidifier last night and she was so excited-about the big green box it came in! And in case anyone is in the market, the frog humidifier from Target got the best reviews. The elephant one and the penguin one reportedly leak ( I was crushed; wanted the penguin). Hope everyone is well! Happy Thanksgiving!

oh, Samantha Jane, I hope you find your voice soon. Wish I could e-mail the cute pj's I bought you:) You would be so cozy in them.
Happy Thanksgiving
Love,
Aunt Allison

I am so sorry SJ is not feeling well. I hope by this point things are getting better. Sara, I'm so proud of you for 'bf' this long! That is such a blessing to Samantha Jane. Once I went back to work it was just too hard... You all are very lucky!
