Happy 6 Month Birthday Samantha!

"I love sweet potatoes!"

Oh my! Samantha is six months old today. She has grown so much since the very first time we got to meet her. We have been having a lot of fun getting her to try new foods - though she still doesn't quite want to eat it as much as she wants to play with the food :) She has tried rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, apple sauce, bananas, sweet potatoes, and peas. I think she likes the sweet potatoes the best. If we mix just about any of the other foods with the cereal she eats that up a lot better than when it's solo. Not surprising if you have ever tasted the cereal (yak!).

She has totally mastered rolling over and gets around pretty well. If you take your eye off her for more than 10 seconds, she's across the room. Just this past week she started sitting on her own! Before this past weekend she would sit for a few seconds and fall over, but now she can sit for just about as long as it keeps her entertained. She is so much fun and if you can believe it, she gets cuter every day!

We had her 6 month checkup appointment today. She weighs 17 lbs 9 oz and is 26.5 inches long - both 75th percentile. So we have no idea where she gets her height from - she may end up taller than both Lenny and I by her third birthday at this rate :) Poor Sam had to get three shots too! She did not like it one bit. She is taking a nap now and I hope that when she wakes up it feels a lot better.

I posted more pictures in the 3-6 month link and added her 4 month professional pictures taken by Kat's Photography on the left - enjoy!

Happy Birthday Sam!
