Little Pumpkin

Here's the promised photo of Samantha in her chair.  Bonus, she's wearing a sweet little pumpkin outfit from Grandma. 

Last night she decided she actually wanted to go from standing at the ottoman to sitting in her chair, with no help or coaxing, while I was on the phone.  Normally, she just waves her hand and shouts "Da!" (down) like the princess she is, and I talk her in to the chair like some sort of infant air traffic controller.  I guess she figured she was getting no help from mommy since I was chatting away, so she squinted her eyes, stuck out her little fanny, concentrated super-hard and went through the most exaggerated process to sit -- and she was so proud when she had!
