Big Bird Baby

This morning Jeff sent me this picture of Samantha. She is such a happy girl in the mornings. A few weeks ago at our Small Group one of our discussion questions was, "Are you a Big Bird or Oscar the Grouch in the morning?" Well, I have to say that my sweet baby took after her father on this one and is a Big Bird in the morning. I on the other hand...

Relaxin baby!

Here is a picture of Samantha today sitting in a high chair all by herself! My mom, Samantha and I ate lunch at Scramblers. She was such a happy girl, but she kept spitting up the carrots that she had earlier this morning. There is some evidence of this on her bib. She slouched back in the high chair but she enjoyed sitting up!

PS: I am going to be working for the next 6 days straight...so forgive me in advance if the blog is not updated for the next week or so!

Church

Samantha just couldn't make it through church today. She woke up early this morning so nap time also came early. Jeff took her into the nursery and rocked her to sleep. Then he laid her down in the crib. She just looked so cute in her outfit this morning!

For the love of carrots!

I just couldn't wait to start Samantha on baby jar food. But Jeff has ALWAYS been good at convincing me to wait. Well tonight I wore him down. So I sat with Samantha on the floor, in her Bumbo, and gave her some carrots. As soon as the spoon got close to her mouth she opened up wide! But she did not seem to like the taste and instantly made a bitter-beer-face. All in all she ate about an eighth of the little jar. But it is a start...

Samantha and I sitting on the floor. See her reaching for the spoon and food?

After her tiny meal, she REALLY enjoyed playing with the spoon. I mean really enjoyed this. She sat on the floor and played with her spoon for about 1/2 and hour! Cheap toy?!

Bathtime!

Today I braved bath time with Samantha ALONE. For those of you that know me well, I am not too into bath time myself. So to take on bath time with Samantha alone is a huge deal for me! Jeff has mastered bath time with her so normally it is something that he takes care of. But we fared well and she came out clean! So in the end it was a successful venture!

Our baby is growing up!

Here is my beautiful little girl! I still cannot believe she is almost 6 months old! Today I got her all dressed up in her "thrift store" GAP sweatshirt! She just looked so cute I had to get her picture. I was a little surprised that she just sat there looking at me just like a big girl! I cannot wait to start feeding her baby jar food and for her to start crawling. I am sure those days are just around the corner!
