Yup Sam is definitely a champion crawler. She is crawling all over the place, pulling up on anything she can and cruising along all furniture, tables, the wall basically anything. So fun and cute but a tad dangerous as so far she has had two bruises on her forehead. Poor thing but I guess that is part of learning.
On the weight front I have been down about 1 pound below pre-maternity for almost a month now...YEah.... I do think having the stomach bug twice in three weeks totally helped that but oh well it was the added kick I needed apparently... Although some of my pants still don't fit. It is true the body does not go back to original shape right away or 10 months later in my case...
Dan and I had our first trip away a few weeks ago. We went to NYC and NEw Jersey for a long weekend. We went to see my 100 (almost 101) year old grandmother "Nana". She turned 100 last June right after I had Sam and the whole family went up for the celebration however I was still healing from my c-section 2 weeks earlier... So Dan and I made the trip to spend some time with her. She did however come down with pneumonia while we were in transit so our visits were at the hospital. She is feeling much better now and been released from the hospital..yeah..Nana really enjoyed telling Dan all kinds of funny stories about me and the family. Dan will I am sure be holding those tidbits of info over my head forever...heheeh I think Nana has a minor crush on Dan..She wanted him to stay.... awwwww
In the evenings we went into NYC (from our Jersey City hotel) and that was a lot of fun and time to catch up with some friends. Friday night we took the train into the World Trade Center (still makes me tear up everytime) and then I had the brilliant idea to walk from there to Little Italy where we were meeting our friends.. Little did we know it was freezing and super windy. I had my gloves, hat, scarf and Dan just had his coat on. At one point I looked over and he says to me "My face is frozen!" Poor guys. Needless to say we pulled into a little bar to warm up and grab a drink before meeting our friends Chris and Heather for dinner... Saturday night we again met up with Chris and Heather and another fun couple we met at their wedding Phyllis and Chris for Moroccan food. It was delicious...I was trying all kinds of new foods I was super proud... Then we had dessert at a little truck that travels all over Manhattan. Might have been the best molten chocolate cake ever. Then Sunday night met Chris and Heather (who I am sure were so sick of us heheheh) again for dinner as well as my dear friend from high school Cassetty. So much fun to catch up. However Dan and I did get on the wrong train and took us about an extra 30 minutes to get to dinner. oh well... All in all nice weekend to visit with family and friends...
Dan and I went to a dinner party last weekend and Sam got to spend some with with Erik, Sarah and Alyson. I think she loved that.. She ate dinner with them and apparently her and Alyson had a spitting contest. See the two of them together are TROUBLE.... But so cute!!!
Also Sam had her 9 month check up last week and here are her stats
Height29.5 inches 100%
Weight 23 pounds 97%
We also made the transition from baby food to table food. This child eats almost anything. She has not met a piece of macaroni or chicken she doesn't like..hehe
Also Dan's grandmother and Aunt Vic were in town a few weeks ago for a nice visit. It was super fun to spend time with them and for them to get to know Samantha. We took a really cute picture of the 4 generations.
Okay here are a few pics to round out my post.
Samantha is coming to get my camera...she has a grin on her face because she is about to reach her hand out to try and snag it from me.
Samantha also has found she loves my purse. I used to leave it on the floor in our bedroom but not so much anymore. She has managed to take out my wallet and sunglasses and lipsticks...She then parades around with them... Well as best she can crawling... Such a funny little girl...
