18 months old and so big. For Samantha's 18 month pictures I decided instead of going to have her pictures done at a studio I would have Grandma Kay take them for me outside at grandmas house, Samantha's favorite place ever. If you know Sam then you know how out going and happy she is so I put her in her swimsuit put her sunglasses and hat on her and had grandma just aim and shoot. She was so funny, talk about working the camera. To get Sam to smile all you have to do is give her food or let her play in water and that is exactly what we did. She wouldn't stop smiling, I think we took at least a hundred pictures of her in less than 30 minutes. Way to work it girl friend!!!

Summer 2008! I can't believe that summer is over. Its a bitter sweet felling when it starts to cool down and you can feel fall just around the corner. The Lawson family had such a great summer. I took Samantha swimming to Cherry Hill at least two times a week. She is so brave. She now jumps off the side of the pool head first, I can't control her I call her my little fish she even does a fish face that is so cute. On the days that we didn't go to the pool we were at grandma Kay's house eating Popsicles and playing in the water at her house. I love her expression in these pictures. Aunt Shay took these before they moved. Her face is priceless.

One hot girl!!! I bought Samantha these sunglasses for the summer and she loves them so much. Every time she puts them on her attitude changes like "I am so cool". She really is so cute. I love my little (big) girl so much. I can't believe how much she is growing up and how fast time really does go by.
