Samantha in a blue bonnet field - it's Texas tradition to take pictures with blue bonnets every spring.On Thursday, April 30, Samantha's first tooth came in. She had been a little cranky and now we know why! She is handling it very well given how much it must hurt. It's her lower left center tooth. We think the lower center right tooth is not far behind! I can't believe she already has a tooth! Now all we need to get her to do is eat! She still isn't into eating baby food, but we keep trying (any of you parents out there have advice on getting her to eat?). She is also on the verge of crawling - she gets up on her hands and knees and rocks, but ends up scooting backwards. Lenny and I really need to get those baby gates up!
This week our regular babysitter (Jess) has family in town so we are having a bunch of friends watch her this week. On Monday she spent the day with Fred and Lily, today she spent the day with Ami and Reese, and for the rest of the week she will be with Lindsay and Helen. She is doing so well for being hauled all over and staying with different people every day. I think she is having fun actually - I was little worried, but she seems to be adjusting just fine. We do have a big decision about day care make coming up soon too. We need figure out if we would accept a spot at the day care at my work this summer (we've been on a waiting list from the minute I knew I was pregnant) or if we want to keep taking her to Jess. A lot to think about and talk to Jess about - if we keep her out this summer, we would most likely have to wait another year. We don't know if we even have a spot, but if it comes up and we say no, we lose our place on the waiting list. If we move our no earlier than date, we keep out priority on the list, but wait a year. Not quite sure what we are going to do.
Well a lot has happened in the last month so here are a lot of pictures. My parents visited for a week, which was a ton of fun. My Mom taught Samantha how to blow kisses and it's the cutest thing ever! It was nice to have Sam home with them during the day.
Here are some pictures!
Happy Easter!

Love the new pictures!! What a sweetie! Just keep trying new foods. you'll find something she likes. Never try the meat. It's disgusting. Wendy
For the food thing: when Jonah was having all his eating issues our GI doc recommended the book 'How to get your kids to eat but not too much', we didn't use it at Samantha's age but I know that there is a section in there for her age so that might help. Also, just make sure you aren't changing things up on her too much. Give her the same thing meal after meal to give her a chance to like it. They say it can take up to 20 times of trying something before a kid will like it. So you don't want to confuse that by offering tons of different stuff. Just some thoughts. Good luck! She looks so cute in her pictures!
We still haven't come up on the work day care list. I don't think we would actually switch at this point.
