1/2 way there....

Sam had her 6 month check up today.

Here's how she's growing:

Weight 16 pound 8 ounces (50%)

Length 28 1/2 inches (off the charts)

Here's what she's doing:

Sitting by herself (biffs it every now and then)

Eating all sorts of fruits and vegis (except anything green)

Squealing with delight, Shrieking with displeasure, Squawking just because

Blowing raspberries

Sweating excessively (seriously, her palms and soles are constantly wet)

Here's what she's loving:

Bath time

Putting her blanket over her head and moving her head back and forth

Kicking her feet all the time (so hard I swear her heels should be bruised!)

Putting my cell phone in her mouth

Being lifted into the air by her dad

Sticking her hand in mom's mouth (especially when she's tired)

Playing peek-a-boo

Reading books (Dr Seuss sure uses some interesting words...)

Slobbering all over mom's face

Here's what she's being called:

Samantha Belle(when she's in trouble)

Pippa

Sammy-kins

The Screecher Creature

Here's what she looks like:

While we were in Utah, Emily Utley of Emily Jane Photography (site found here: http://www.emilyjanephotography.com) took these darling pictures. I was amazed when I saw them because in the 2 1/2 hour session, she seriously smiled once. Most of the shoot she just had her hand shoved in her mouth! Thanks Em. We love them.
