Play time!

Looks like she's crying but she's just laughing really loudly



The cutest grin ever!



I'm having a hard time figuring out how to entertain a 6 week old. She seems to get bored so easily. I tried out this play mat and she seems to really like it. If anybody has ideas, let me know. She likes the swing and reading books, but her attention span is only for so long. Loves being talked to...she will talk back and smile a ton, it's so awesome.

I'm 1 month old today!!

I'm mad because someone ate my cupcake!


Too tired to eat my cupcake. Too much one month old birthday partying. Hopefully it'll be there when i wake up




I still can't believe that it has already been a month since Samantha joined our family. I still remember peeing on the stick and seeing that faint little pink line. She is an awesome baby. Only cries when she needs something. She is hitting all her milestones. She is a lot more alert, she talks...well coos, she laughs and squeals. She smiles at us. She follows us around the room with her big beautiful blue eyes. She is such a cool kid. Here are some pictures. Of course, she had a 1 month birthday cupcake ;)

I love my swing!!

Thank Goodness for this swing. It allows me to do so much more and Sammie loves it. She falls asleep in it in no time and when she is awake in the swing, she likes to talk to the little lambs on the mobile. I even vacuumed around her while she was sleeping in there and she didn't even budge!

Trick or Treat!

Totally passed out after some trick or treating. We only went to a couple of neighbors' houses just to show Sam off in her cute black kitty costume and it wore her out. Too cute!

Sam's First Tub Bath!

All better in her racing pj's!

That wasn't so bad after all!

I love love love my hair washed


Yup that's a birth mark on my bum!

This is soooo much better than a sponge bath


Last weekend Sam's umbilical stump finally fell off so we were able to give her a tub bath and she loved it! I can't seem to post pictures in the correct order so they are backward but oh well, at least I posted them! She loves her tub bath, absolutely adores getting her hair washed but really hates coming out of the tub. I have to wrap her up super quickly in her cozy towel or she gets really p.o.'d. Once the whole thing is done, we are a happy girl again.

She is 2 weeks old now and so totally amazing. She has really awake times that she just loves to look around at everything and talk and dance. We call it dance party USA time. She will just lay there on her blanket between Mike and I and talk away. She also loves to talk while she is breastfeeding and cracks me up everytime. It's like she goes "num num num num" when she eats. Completely adorable. She is not a big cryer. Only cries when she really needs something. We go for walks everyday when Mike gets home from work and she loves it. She just looks around at her whole surroundings. She loves to be constantly moving. If she's fussy, we just have to walk around with her and she's fine. She really is a good baby.

Lily

My friend Lily gave me the best surprise ever!

2 days before my schedule c-section, Lily and I were text messaging and she was saying how she had looked at flights to come and be with us on the day of delivery but that it would be impossible for her to do. I told her that it was totally fine...she has beautiful twin baby boys that need her and I would never have expected her to come for the delivery. Well, my c-section goes as planned and just as they are getting me all cozy and comfortable in my post partum room, in comes Lily! Of course, the tears start flowing. I still can't believe that she flew in from Kansas just to share in our special day. I really wish I wasn't hospitalized at the time so that I could have spent more time with her but it was such an amazing surprise. I will never forget that day!

Thank you Lily for being an amazing friend!
