15 month stats and more inititation into mother hood...

So today Sam had her 15 month dr appt...Here are her stats:

Weight 28.6 pounds and >100 percentile (aka off the charts)
Height 32.3 inches and 97 percentile
Head 18.5 90 percentile

Dr G said she is doing great.... And she got 3 shots including her flu shot..yeah so no more shots until she is 2...yeah!!!

So on Saturday Sam and I spent the afternoon evening with my folks and Dan folks at their neck of the woods..After a long nap for Sam, I went shopping, and then playing in the backyard we decided to go out to dinner (yummy pizza) then afterwards we went to a splash park near their house.... Sam ran around and loved it but got kinda chilly so had to take her home and put her in a nice warm bath...Then Sam and I left and headed back to our house...I gave her her milk and put her to bed..Not even 5 minutes later I don't know what told me but mommy intuition kicked in and I went and checked on Sam and she looked up at me with the saddest eyes..I picked her up and not even a minute later she barfed all over me.... IT was awful....I was very proud of myself I didn't cry or barf myself.... So she is fine needless to say it was a one time thing (no stomach bug thank goodness)..... She is only eating apple sauce now which is not a bad thing....
Poor baby.....

Sunday we took it real easy and stayed home and took lots of naps.... I think she is on the road to recovery....

TEETH!!!

So a few nights ago we were playing with Sam, going over where her body parts are located, as we practice that quite frequently (and she thinks it is a game) and just have some fun all playing on our bed. Not sure why but she loves getting on our bed..She has to get on it once a day...Anyway I digress at the end of this video I got a good picture of her teeth. We have a total of 4 now...whooohooo No more teeth envy here....

Diaper change in the middle of the night...

So one night I had stayed up later and I went to check on Sam before I went to bed and she needed a diaper change but she had been asleep for several hours so wasn't sure how she would handle being woken up..So I picked her up gently and layed her on the changing table and she moved a little but not much. She stayed asleep until I was getting her pajama bottoms back on then she moved a little and as I was leaning over to put the diaper in the Diaper Champ she rolled over and took up the sleeping position...IT was the cutest thing I asked Dan to run and get the camera to get a picture. So here is Sam totally asleep on her changing table..

And just in case you didn't notice that is her "pink puppy's" arm sticking up as she sleeps with a death grip on the stuffed animal every night...So cute...

Running through sprinklers.....

So last night Dan's parents were over and we were having dinner and as we were getting up from the table I saw that the sprinklers were going off in the backyard and I remembered how Sunday evening on our way home from our neighbors house they came on and she ran through them for half an hour and just loved it....So I said you want to see something funny...We opened the back door (first I grabbed a towel and my camera) and let her go...She played in the sprinklers for a while and loved it..She just loves water..She was opening her mouth trying to get a drink... Of course she went right into the bathtub right after I mean she was already wet might as well....

So here are a few pics I was able to get from last nights sprinkler escapade....

This is her first few steps out "whooo that water is hitting me"...Then she starts digging it and running around..

Love this one that you can see the arch of the water and her mouth open trying to get a drink from the spraying water...

This is right before we went in she is tired and ready to get dry....

Circus....

So we took Sam to see her first Circus last weekend and well she did as Dan and I guessed she would do..She lasted exactly one hour..Which was fine with Dan..I think he was over those silly clowns.... She loved all the animals and loved pointing and saying the names of the animals...

We brought our camera but at the last minute left it in the car as the tickets said no camera and there were signs going through the line saying no cameras but everyone seemed to have one..So no pictures from that....

A few pictures to catch up on....

So wanted to share a few pictures I have not had a chance to share yet..

We had dinner with our dear friends Chuck and Jenny and their boys at Shops at Legacy and had a great time. We had a yummy dinner at Fireside Pies and then let the kids run around the lake/pond area to wear them out...We did get a cute new family picture so thought I would share...

Also the night we had our friends Laura, Ryan and Casper over we took a few pics before they arrived of us and darn if Sam doesn't look so cute in her dress so again thought I would share...

And since everyone asks us yes she is pretty much our happy baby 99 percent of the time..Always laughing at something or another..Her favorite source of entertainment is still Chewy..They are best buds....

New habit......

Okay I will admit this is one of the cutest darn things I have ever seen.... Sometimes Sam likes to.....

Yup she loves to sit in the refrigerator..not sure why exactly....Not sure if she is trying to be patient when we are getting her her milk (which she loves) or just likes to touch all the bottles in the door...or really is she just plain old hot from all this Texas heat.... Of course the first time we did it we thought oh she will be up in a second as it will be really cold..nope she has plenty of layers between her and the coldness on her butt (clothes and a diaper)...So this past weekend she sat in the bottom of the freezer....She loved it....Such a silly little girl...

We eventually will have to stop doing this as I would be embarrassed if she started doing it at other peoples houses...

Which brings me to my next topic...The BELLYBUTTON. Sam has a huge thing right now for belly buttons..She loves to pull your shirt up and look at it and put her finger in it...So we thought oh how cute well when she tried to do it the other morning as I dropped her off at school the realization that maybe we shouldn't let her do that hit..But we decided oh what the heck it is so cute and she loves it when you tickle her belly button back we will give it a few more weeks to see if the fascination dies out on its own...

Two teeth...

Well it is official Sam has two teeth..One on top and one on bottom...Looks pretty darn funny and the next question most people have is "ARe they on the same side?" Yes they are.... No pictures at this time (she literally won't sit still long enough) but I will keep trying...Just so excited to finally have some teeth!!!

Sam's new friend......

So Saturday night we had Laura and Ryan over for dinner and they brought there dog Casper over for Chewy to run around with and hopefully wear themselves out..Well Sam needless to say stole the show and wanted to play with Casper the whole time chasing him around...Chewy and Casper I think had a great time...Laura luckily got this super cute picture of Sam/Chewy/Casper in a rare sitting still moment...
