By golly I think that is a tooth....

So last night I was really late getting home with all this crazy work going on (quarter end) so by the time I got home it was time for Sam to have her cereal (she is actually getting much better with it) and bottle then play...So I fed her and we were playing and I put my finger in her mouth and I always run my finger on her bottom gums (because for some strange reason I thought she would get a bottom tooth first) then I just for giggles (and she was in a good mood) rubbed the top gums and I felt something. I pulled her lips open (which she loved I am sure you can imagine) and lo and behold there was a little white thing poking through...Very weird spot it is not a front tooth it is a side tooth.... Well no wonder she was cranky 2 days recently....

So she has her first tooth....yeah!!!!

They grow up so fast!!!

Sam versus Cereal

Sam had her 4 month appointment last week and here are her stats.

15 1/2 pounds

25.5 inches long

She is 95th percentile height and 90th percentile weight....

Our newest adventure is Sam trying cereal....

We tried for the first time late last week. here are a few shots..

We then went out and bought her a high chair this weekend....Take a look she looks so small in it.

She does not like the cereal yet but we are still working on it.

Only one more thing to note the weight loss..I have 6.5 pounds left....I just gotta keep myself motivated.. The main thing driving me is getting out of maternity pants....I am so close....

Some of Sams favorite things....well right now anyway!!

Sam loves her exersaucer...(THanks Kristin for giving us yours she loves it)...

Sam loves playing with Daddy and bouncing around and going up in the air....

Sam LOVES Chewy and Chewy LOVES Sam....It is a mutual love!!

One of Sams favorite onesies!! thanks Melanie!!!

Samantha in her pjs.............

I sent these pictures out last week as I was getting so many comments that I had not sent out new pictures in a while..These just turned out really cute... We had just given her a bath and gotten her into her pjs and she was just laughing and giggling so perfect time to take some pics..I swear Dan snapped off like 25 pictures before I knew it...

Not sure if this will work but we caught a cute video of her dancing (with a little of Daddy's help)..

Slacker I know

Well it has been a crazy month and I have been a complete chicken with my head cut off at times..With working, Samantha, trying to lose weight, my birthday celebration, etc....I am not sure where the time goes.....

So I will be posting a few things over the next few days to get everyone caught up on our lifes..

The first story is one of our adorable dog Chewy..She and Samantha have become best friends.. Now Samantha reaches out and grabs her nose..Chewy is still not sure what to make of that..It cracks us up..But this story and picture relate to me and Chewy. So we had put Sam to bed one night and Dan was getting ready for the next day and I was to and I got my gym bag out and put it on our bed to pack and I went into the close to grab shoes and clothes and I came back and this is what I found.....

Chewy had decided she wanted to go with me so she put herself in the bag...I of course ran to grab the camera and she had gotten out some but you can get the picture...She sounds so neglected but she is the most doted on dog I know...

Also Sam has been starting to enjoy her bath time now instead of pouting and I caught this cute picture in her cute towel that grandma and grandpas friend gave them...

Then my brithday came and we had a fabulous dinner at the Melting Pot. I love FONDUE!!! So yummy and a very relaxign evening out. Grandma and Granpa even kept Sam overnight so that was nice to get to sleep in in the morning...

We also had a really nice and realxing dinner with the whole family on my actual birthday..I finally got a cute pic of me and my gorgeous niece Alyson. She is walking and talking and her favorite word is Stinky.....I can't wait until Sam can play with Alyson they are going to be TROUBLE together!!!

Sam is really smiling a lot lately..She is just a really happy kid. The only time she is not happy is when she is sick (which she has had a couple small colds since starting school) and when she is really hungry.
