More Pictures

Hi - it's been a little while, but we posted more pictures in the Samantha 0-3 months link to the left. Also I wanted to let everyone know that the pictures from my (Amy's) parents visit are in that same folder.

Samantha is doing great. She's sitting in my lap now :) She has graduated to 3 month size clothes - it's very exciting! A whole new wardrobe. I have been hitting all the holiday sales for kids clothes because after 3 months, we don't have much! She is a lot more interactive now - she smiles and gets close to giggling. She tries to reach out and grab things, but doesn't quite have the muscle control to really grab anything but my hair :) She is "talking" a lot more now too - she just loves to coo and make noise!

We are getting ready for Christmas - we put up the tree, which Samantha loves - she could stare at it for hours! I put a blanket on the floor next to the tree and she lays on her back and just loves to look at it and kick and get excited.

We had a big Thanksgiving at our house with our Houston family. It was a ton of fun. We had 12 adults and 4 kids. Surprisingly all the food was done at the same time! It was all delicious too! I made a really awesome batch of turkey soup the day after! I've posted pictures of that as well - Thanksgiving.

Thursday Sam, Steph, and I went to the Container store and REI. It was Samantha's longest/farthest trip so far. She did great and I think she really liked getting out and looking around. She was fascinated by the lights in the Container store. Steph is a good sport for coming along too - everything takes a little longer with a little one and her help was much appreciated.
I ended up buying a stroller at REI that is great - it's a super stroller that doesn't throw Samantha around when we go over sidewalk bumps. We have already taken her through the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights!

I have been having trouble posting video to the site...I hope to have that fixed soon - I've been getting a lot of requests.
