Sam's first time at Yosemite!

taken just before the face plant into the pine needles


and after the face plant!


We're ok now






I finally pooped and therefore needed a costume change!


unfortunately, Sam was having a grumpy day yesterday, but we still got some good shots. I think we had a little constipation problem :)

Big Girl

I'm a chunky monkey!


This was taken last month at the races. You can see that she absolutely loved it. She was sooo good about keeping the headset on to protect those little ears



So we stopped by my work last night with Sam for a little visit. We weighed the little chunky monkey and she is now 18lbs and 26.5in tall. So she has only gained a pound since last month but has grown 2 inches. Mike and I both thought she would weigh more but I guess its because she got taller that she feels heavier. Sam was the star of the show last night. Hamming it up for everyone at work. She is soooo easy going and will let anyone hold her and play with her. Such a fun kid!

5 months! How time flies

I love sitting in daddy's chair and using the remote!


Mmmmm cereal!


Mom! That flash scared the poop out of me!


Sam is doing great! She's a very active and vocal baby. Hates when we sit down...unless Yo Gabba Gabba is on! Actually, she'll only watch one episode of the show once a day so its not so bad. She loves being outside and going for walks in the morning. She still loves music. If she's cranky, we just put on some good rock and she loves it! She is now eating rice cereal twice a day. We will start vegetables soon. She's very grabby! Wants to touch everything! She loves to blow raspberries and makes us laugh all the time. She's such a fun kid. We went to southern california a couple of weeks ago which was a 5hr car ride and she was so good! We went to the races and she loved it. Followed the cars around the track and everything. She wore a noise reduction headset the whole time and never tried to take it off. We don't have a doctor's appointment til next month but we measured her and she is now 26.5in tall! Don't know how much she weighs now, but its a lot I'm sure.

Sam is 4 months old!

She loves her pink cadillac walker/jumper






I'm sure she'll love it even more when her feet can fully touch the ground and she can jump in it



Sam now weighs 16lbs and measures 25 1/4inches. She is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. She's a little chunky monkey! She is very active and extremely talkative. She has been sleeping through the night for the last 4 nights now...hopefully she keeps up with that. She is so much fun. A total ham when there are other people around. Her laugh is the best sound that I have ever heard. She thinks that her reflection in the mirror is the funniest thing in the world. She has a ticklish tummy and neck. When I go get her from her crib in the morning she gives me the biggest smile which I think is the perfect beginning to my day. She is getting used to me being back at work. Her and daddy have fun and have their own little bedtime routine...very cute.

3 Months old!

I can almost walk!



I still love snoozing in my swing


Our big girl is already 3 months old. At her 3 month appointment she weighed 13lbs 11oz and measured 24in...she's probably close to 15lbs now hahaha. She loves to talk your ear off. She has the best laugh I've ever heard in my life and loves to eat her hands and pull my hair.

Happy New Year!!!!

I don't want to go to sleep mom
