Already 6 months old. I know I say this every month, but it really is crazy how time flies. Sam went to the Doctor again today but at least it was for her well-baby 6 month check up. She now weighs 18lbs 8oz and still measures a little over 27in which puts her in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. She's a big girl and really really strong. Poor Sam had a rough couple of weeks with a viral upper respiratory infection and asthma. She is doing sooooo much better now thanks to steroids. She is now on a steroid inhaler daily for a month and takes that really well.

Our trip to Canada was fantastic. Too short for my liking, but a lot of fun. I'm so glad that my family was able to meet Samantha and her awesome little personality. Sam was excellent on all the flights. She was a total trooper through all the craziness on our flight back when we got stuck in Salt Lake City overnight. I'm so proud of her.

Sam is now sitting upright by herself. She's eating all kinds of solids and loves them. She has a fascination with water bottles. Loves to drink water out of them but if I try to put water in a bottle or a sippy cup, she wants none of it. Little weirdo. She talks A LOT! She literally says "bla bla bla" constantly. It is adorable. She laughs at the cats all the time...especially Joey and Milo.
