Sam's 5th month

This is also a very busy month. 
We all know Christmas
is a trying time on any family.
Here is our best attempt at it!

Sam rolled over on her own for the very first time - this is where she landed. 
(December 19, 2009)

Sam with her friend Katie B.  Sam is almost 3 months older than Katie but they're the same size.

Uh-oh! This doesn't look good.

Sam I Am is having her first reading of
Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

This adorable dress was from one of Brandon's co-workers.  We thought she was adorable in it.

Christmas night we made her handprint ornament

And Sam received her present (yes, just 1 - quality...not quantity) from Mommy & Daddy - it's a Learn & Groove Table. She loves it!

This is while we're away with my family for our annual New Year's Eve trip

Our New Year's Baby!

Of course...GROUP SHOT!!!

Sam was able to go swimming for the first time in the indoor pool at Riverstone Resort

And this is her monthly monkey picture 5 months

Sam's 4th month

This is a big month for Samantha! A major holiday,
her first nights away from home
and her dedication service at church. So...here we go!

This was Sam's first bite of cereal. Until this point, she had only had breast milk.

Sam loved this light up snowman ornament with her name on it. Can you tell?

Sam's 3rd Month

Well, another month gone and Samantha is more active and growing faster than ever!

She went for her first shots on October 15. She did well, Brandon did not. He doesn't like shots and thought Sam was just pitiful.





Then Sam was still a little angry about the shots so she stuck her tongue out at me!

This is Samantha's Granny & Papaw

"Sam I Am" she's telling The Cat in The Hat!


TUMMY TIME!

Sam's 1st Halloween!

This outfit was from Auntie Crystal

Scout, Sam's BFF, and Sam at the daycare

Sam's 1st Trunk-Or-Treat at Marbledale Baptist Church. It was cold and wet, so she had to spend some time in the back of the RAV. Caleb was glad to join her.

Just hangin' out like a little monkey!

With Mommy

She looks a little surprised...maybe she saw a ghost!

Sam's 2nd month

Baths are easy and that's a blessing!
