First Visit to Beach




One day while we were at the lake we randomly decided to go to the beach. Skylar was super excited...and Sammy just sat happily in her car seat not knowing the greatness of what was coming.

Once we got there we bundled up and took a walk. Samantha was bug eyed. She didn't quite know what was going on.

She watched big sister in amazement as Skylar splashed in the water and started making sand castles.

We even planted a Sammy flower. Skylar had a blast with that!

4 months old WOW!




Well it is time for the monthly update. Samantha had a doctors visit yesterday to get all checked out...and more shots. She is 15.3 lbs and 26 inches long! She is getting so big.

She is now completely a bottle baby. Which she transitioned to all to easily. But now both momma and baby are much happier.

Sammy loves to be on her tummy. Which is hard to get her on, since we have to wait at least an hour after she eats, and then hopefully she isn't to tired. But when she finally does get on she does great! Holds up her head for a long time, pushes with her legs.

Sadly though, she has stopped sleeping through the night. I am hoping that is just her growing and she will start up again, but for now she wakes up once a night.

But at least she still will sleep anywhere and takes great naps!

During our hot spell this month Samantha got to go into Skylar's swimming pool. She was a little hesitant at first. But we got smiles and a few laughs out of her. She even got to wear my old swimming suit...which made for a lot of smiles by the momma and gammie.

Towards the end of the month Sammy started grabbing at her toes. And now if she is awake and is able to get them...they are in her hands. She loves them. She grabs and rolls back and forth.

Grammie got Samantha a chair that attaches to the bar at her house. And Sammy sits pretty good in it, and loves being able to be part of the group.
