Crawfish Boil

Samantha's first encounter with a live crawfish. She kept reaching out to grab them; not scared at all!

Brave New World

Our little girl is a big bad 9 months old!!! And this is what we've been up to lately... (the videos were taken just before naptime, so she was very tired & a bit grumpy.)

Happy Anniversary Lance!

9 Months!

So I don't have a photo with her puppy yet, but will post one later. Samantha is crawling slow but definitely crawling. She is pulling up on EVERYTHING & has even attempted a step. She can stand on her own for about 5 seconds then topples, but it doesn't stop her from trying. She is loving her walker & my parents have tons of wood floors for her to zoom around. She also really enjoys the hot tub. (Won't she be in for a shock the first time she gets into a cold pool!)

Sold!

I have been waiting to post this until things were more certain; but we sold our townhouse!!!! We close in a week! My folks have graciously offered our little family use of their basement until we find a permanent address, at which point we will let you know. Until then, email us if you need an address.

Oh, and the photo from the last post was a combination of playing with Photo Shop & inspiration from browsing the web. Thanks Lance for the GREAT Christmas present!!

8 months

Samantha is 8 months old! She has 2 teeth! She's trying so very hard to crawl. She gets up on all fours & instead of moving forward, scoots back. She eventually gets truly frustrated because she gets further away from her goal instead of closer. She is so very brave! She is already getting into everything. That little girl is quick with her rolls!

Sami's 2 teeth

Hanging out in her crib. Sami LOVES standing.

Getting into everything. (She's already into EVERYTHING. I can't imaging what will happen when she's crawling!)


Bathtime fun.

Brushing her teeth.

Sami fell on top of her toy. Notice the bruise on her cheek. Her 1st bruise.

Samantha pulls off her shoes to chew on them, constantly!
