Samantha is 3 months old today!

Happy Birthday Samantha!

The last three months have gone so fast! She is now really grabbing and holding onto toys and my nose! She is so close to rolling over. She is definitely getting a little personality and a lot louder!

She had a great Christmas..Santa brought her a toy chest to go in her room and her grandparents sent lots of toys and clothes. She got a jumparoo, a mat with toys that hang over it, a huge teddy bear, a baby doll, a sweater and blanket made by her Aunt Kalena, wrist and ankle rattles...the list goes on and on. Santa got Lenny and I a Playstation 3!

We have posted all the pictures at this link - Christmas. Here are a few of our favorites and a video.

Samantha Update

So Samantha is almost three months old...whoa! Things that she is doing:

-Almost rolls over from her tummy to her back - she's almost there
-Trys to grab toys and sometimes gets them!
-Smiles a lot
-Sleeping through the night, not all the time, but enough for Mommy to be really excited
-Stares at anything red
-"Talks" to us - she's even tried to mimic some of the sounds we make
-Definitely recognizes her Mommy, Daddy, and Grommit
- Starting to put everything in her mouth
- She loves Christmas lights and Christmas songs (despite the fact that Mommy has to make up some words because she can't remember them)

She is so much more aware now and it's getting pretty fun. It will be hard to go back to work on January 5th. Christmas will be fun so I will take the time to enjoy it with her and Lenny.

Amazing 24 hours

Okay so we had an exciting last 24 hours...

1. It snowed in Houston! A whole inch! We went for a walk in the snow and showed it to Samantha!

2. Samantha slept all night last night - 7.5 hours! So did Mommy - YAY!

3. The Space Shuttle Endeavor flew over JSC on the 747 this afternoon! We watched it from Ellington field - on the runway, so it went right in front of us! It was making its trip from California (where is had to land a week and half ago) to Florida to get ready for its next mission.

Lenny took this picture of the shuttle going over - it's attached to the 747 and you can see a chaser T-38 above the shuttle.
