Samantha's first blog

I just had to post a few pictures of Zephyr, who is quite the babysitter. She is so cute. Ever since Sam was born, she has sort of hung out where Sam is, spending a lot of time in the nursery and just generally being a good sport about not being the center of attention. We are really lucky that both of our cats have been so great to Samantha. I think since Muffin is gone, Zephyr has been a little more needy, and a little more lovable than usual. I think these pictures show it.

Babysitting Samantha, who is hanging out on her quilt so she can roll around.

Checking out the play gym to see what all the fuss is about.

Pack and Play Inspector, at your service!  I couldn’t believe she jumped in there.  She has never done that before.  I am just glad Sam was with me!

I thought I’d post some random pics of Sam that we have taken recently and talk about how she has been doing.  She is eating really well now.  She is up to about 30-32 ounces of formula a day, and she seems to really like her oatmeal a lot. We have been trying additional solid foods with her as often as possible.  So far she has had pears, applesauce, peaches, sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots.  I have been avoiding the green vegetables since I am not sure how well they will go over.  She definitely likes the fruits more than the veggies, and I have been only giving her the “sweet” veggies so far!  So I’m not sure peas and green beans will go over that well.

She is also getting really close to sitting up on her own.  A few days ago I had her sitting unsupported between my legs.  She sat that way for a while before she started to topple over, but not long enough that I would feel comfortable leaving her alone that way.  She still can’t roll from tummy to back yet, but I hope she gets there soon.  The cutest thing is that just yesterday she finally “got” peek-a-boo.  It was so cute.  We were hiding our faces behind a blanket and she was totally cracking up.  She knows what’s coming now. As soon as you start to hide your face, her smile comes out : )

I can’t believe in a week she will be 6 months old.  The time has flown so fast, as she has grown so much.  I can’t wait to see how big she has gotten when she goes for her 6 month check at the doctor. In the meantime, enjoy her pictures!

Here she is enjoying her oatmeal.  Messy, but delicious!

Getting a bath and a shampoo at Salon Mommy…

Snoozing away in her pack and play…It’s a hard life being a baby.

Sleeping like Mark used to when he was a baby, butt in the air…

Here she is hanging out with her cousin, Maddox.  They had a play date while Krista and I hung out last week.

And finally, trying to figure out the mystery of records and the spinning record player.  Daddy was introducing her to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Mark swears she was boogie dancing to “The House is Rockin'”.  I was out, and when I came in she was playing air guitar.  She is quite the musical genius (we hope)!
