Samantha's first blog

Posted By markmyers on April 4, 2010

Today is Samantha’s first Easter!  We, of course, needed to document it with pictures taken in my basement photo studio.  Sam loves getting her picture taken and always hams it up for the camera.  She started to smile and kick as soon as Pam brought her down the stairs when she saw everything set up.

Sam seems to really enjoy celebrating each holiday, even though she never really knows what is going on.  She just loves our excitement and all the new things that go along with the day.  She has two dresses for Easter because we couldn’t quite decide which she was going to wear.  Truthfully, we didn’t know how well either dress would work out since the weather hasn’t been all that warm, but nature cooperated and gave us bright, warm, sunny days so she could wear her sundresses.  Here is the first dress that Pam got at Carter’s months ago.  She has been dying for Sam to wear it.  We like her little sun hat too.  She wears it a lot since she doesn’t seem to like having the sun right in her face.

Here is a picture of Sam’s Easter basket.  We ordered some chocolate bunnies and a chocolate cat from Rosalind’s, which is a chocolate store out near Pittsburgh that has been owned and run by part of my family for years.  My Easter basket every year when I was a kid was full of Rosalind’s which is the best chocolate I know of.  Since Sam is too little to eat her chocolate, she nicely said that Pam and I could eat it for her ; )  She also had a book, some plush peeps, some blocks, and some bubbles.  Sam had a lot of fun pulling everything out of the basket and then promptly shoving it in her mouth.  You can just see how excited she is in this picture.

This is the second dress we bought for Easter.  We think it’s really cute because it looks really old-fashioned.  A very classic look for our beautiful baby. She just keeps smiling even through her wardrobe changes!

We can’t wait until she is big enough to do an Easter egg hunt, and to really appreciate the idea of the Easter bunny.  But for now, we are just enjoying Sam when she is so little, and so cute, and just enjoying exploring everything new.  Happy Easter, everyone!

PS: This new blue background I’m using would also look great for a boy! For instance, a special young nephew of mine 😉
