Wow... Samantha is 6 1/2 months old. At her 6 month checkup, she weighed in at a healthy 17 lb, 5 oz and 24 inches long. She's growing great and the NP was thrilled! She's eating more solid foods now and loving it! She's still a very happy baby and is talking all the time, or we should probably call it "yelling". Here's Sam and Nick in deep conversation.
Here's Samantha and Uncle Jack.. she loved him!
Samantha loves to roll all over the place and is starting to creep forward a bit. She got a new swing for the patio and loves that too, although it's so darn hot out that time in the swing has been limited. Here's video of her first time in her new swing!
Sam also loves all her toys, although a lot goes into her mouth. She's so interested in anything we're doing and tries to grab at the computer, cell phone, food, or anything someone else has. She's very nosy like her mom. We've had a heat wave here so we haven't been outside much or to the pool, but maybe it'll get cooler soon and we can venture out for more walks.
Nick's family (Dad, Theresa, and Jack) visited the week of the 4th. We had a blast with them and I tell you, they're handy to have around! Scott, Jack, and Nick fixed everything that needed to be fixed and more! And Scott "Grandpa" made Samantha an amazing bookshelf. I saw it in the Land of Nod catalog and have been wanting it for awhile. Scott looked at it and designed it by himself from good solid oak! It looks so good and matches her furniture perfectly!
We didn't do too much for the week - laid pretty low. Theresa "Grammy" was a huge help while I was at work, which I have been doing more than I'd like to lately with the business being so busy. Thankfully, Samantha is such a versitile kid and is happy with most people as long as they are giving her attention. Not sure when or if the seperation anxiety will kick in. Everyone couldn't believe how good she is and how little she cried. We're so fortunate.
Ms. Scherree (our babysitter) has been wonderful and Sam still loves her, but she got a break while the fam was here. I'll have to post a pic of Sam and Ms. Scherree soon!
On a side note, my dad is home from the hospital (once again!) Let's home there is no return back there for a long time. He's so much better now. He can't believe it's July 16th as he has no recollection of almost a month of his life. Not sure what will come back, but hopefully not the bad memories of the hospital! Let's hope he's back to 100% soon. It's night and day from before. I'm heading home to NJ at the end of next week to visit and bring Samantha to brighten his day!
More to come soon...
Kristi
