Okay, here's another crazy thing about this world -- the clothes. I mean, I barely go out of the house, and I have more "cute outfits" than mom and dad combined!
What's worse, I rarely get to wear them. Instead, I keep getting these white T-shirt things (something called a "onsie" -- who came up with that name?). Functional -- yes. Fashionable -- hardly.
Worst of all, mom and dad keep changing my clothes! Seriously, I've had more wardrobe changes than a Cher concert (whoever that is). First it's on with the onsie, then on with my gown. As soon as it gets a little wet (don't blame me for that), it's off with the gown, and off with the onsie. Then, a new onsie, and another outfit on top of that. All I can say is, I'm glad I've got "people" to take care of my laundry.

My Life So Far
These past 26 days have been strange, to say the least.
I have to say, this place is very confusing.
For one thing, there's the whole eating-sleeping thing. First mom and dad want me to eat -- sometimes they wake me up just to give me food. Then, when I'm awake, they want me to go to sleep. I wish they'd make up their minds! Parents - huh, go figure. It may be a while before I get them properly trained.
Another strange thing is my weight - I lost weight right after being born. I have to say, the other babies were a bit jealous -- I could eat anything I wanted, as much as I wanted, and still lose weight. And that's without any "South Beach Diet" or "Zone Diet" to help me stay trim.
And you know the weird part -- Mom and Dad were worried about me losing weight, so they kept feeding me. Every time I turned around, there was another bottle in my mouth.
One of the best things about my life right now is the fact that I have this whole entourage of people who are there just to take care of me. Mom, Dad, Grandma, they're all sitting around, waiting for me to do whatever. Food, sleep, entertainment -- all I have to do is ask, and they jump up and run around trying to get me to react. I wonder if will always be this way?

Too Soon?
Some people have wondered about a three-week old baby having a blog. All I can say is -- sorry it took me so long! This is, after all 2006. And born into the digital age, it's my right -- no, it's my duty to get online. So, here I am.
In case you missed it, I have some pictures of me up on the Web. I hope you don't think I'm being too vain; I just thought you might like to see what your author looks like. As of now, there are two galleries:
http://www.gerryclark.com/Samantha/newborn/index.html
This one shows me when I was just a few minutes old -- ah the good old days. It seems like just yesterday... actually it was 26 days ago. There's a picture of my mom there too.
Hey look closely at that picture of me -- what's the deal with those fingernails? They look more like claws! Truth is, it's so hard to find a good manicurist in utero...
This second photo gallery shows more of me:

It also shows my dad and grandma.

Hello world, this is Sami.
Actually, my full name is Samantha Si-Ming Clark. I was born on March 2, 2006 in Los Angeles, California. Sorry it took me so long to get online, but my dad (who is typing this for me) has been kind of busy.
Anyway, this will be the place where I tell you about me, my life, etc. I have to go now, but come back soon and I'll tell you more!
