Springtime with Samantha

Today to kick off Mother’s Day weekend we went outside to take some pictures of me and Samantha in the great outdoors. We have always wanted to take some photos outside because the natural light and background is always so nice, but our weather never seems to cooperate. Too dark, too cold, too windy, too hot, etc. etc. etc…. But tonight we had some luck. Sam was still sort of awake and smiley, despite the fact that it was almost her bedtime by the time the sun was just right, so we went outside to see what kind of pictures we could get. The first few photos I think are my favorite because we are standing in front of the same rose bush that Mark took photos of me in front of when I was pregnant with Sam. The rose bush photo of me while I was pregnant is one of my favorite “belly photos” and now I am holding my little girl in my arms. 🙂
In the next few photos we are just hanging out in the grass. I was showing Sam some clovers, which she seemed to like, but since she was very interested in the roses (as you can see from the pictures above) Mark picked one for her. She liked that much better. She is a smart girl — she’s all about getting flowers from her favorite man!
Here’s one last shot of us enjoying the remaining sunshine before it was time for Sam to go to bed. She had a long day. Not only is her one bottom tooth coming through, but so is the one next to it! It was very exciting to see the tip of it poking through her gums this morning. I was very surprised because it definitely was not there yesterday. It is not so exciting for Sam who is very uncomfortable and isn’t sleeping well. My poor baby doesn’t understand why she needs teeth, but I keep telling her to hang in there — there are so many yummy things to eat!
