Happy 6 month birthday, Samantha!

Today Sam is 6 months old and I just can’t believe it. I have been looking at pictures of her from right after she was born and she just seems so very small. She has grown, and changed, so much since September. She has learned how to do so much, it’s amazing!
Here is Sam sitting in the glider in her room. She hasn’t quite learned to sit up on her own, but she is getting there, and she loves to sit like a big person in a chair.
Apparently, something about getting her picture taken was hysterical!
Looking wide eyed out the window.
Here she is enjoying some 1/2 year birthday applesauce. I tried to give her the rest of her peas that she opened yesterday, but she said, “Really, Mommy, peas? As a 6-month birthday treat?” so we switched to something yummy and sweet. She started grabbing the spoon like crazy trying to figure out how to use it herself. She imitates, or tries to imitate, a lot of things we do now. For example, she loves when we drink out of a glass or use a straw. It always makes her laugh, and simply fascinates her at the same time. She wants so badly to do it herself, but every time she tries it doesn’t go so well. I think she is just taking everything in so quickly.
Also, yesterday, I saw her in her crib on her hands and knees — she hasn’t even learned to sit up on her own yet and she’s in crawl position! Let’s hope that was a fluke…..
Everyone always says to enjoy every moment with your baby because the time goes so fast, and it really does. I try to cherish every moment with her so that I will remember every detail for the rest of my life. I am the luckiest mom in the whole world!
