Over the weekend, we took a little trip to Logan and stayed in a bed and breakfast. It was nice to get away from everything for a little while. We took Sammi and she had a fun time. She especially loved splashing in the Jacuzzi tub that we had in our room. It was a nice little trip.

This is Sammi relaxing on the bed.

We thought it would be funny to set her in the huge Jacuzzi tub.

Last week, I was getting Sammi ready to go run some errands. I bought this fun little skirt for her and she was wearing it. I stuck her in her crib while I was getting ready and she looked so cute that I had to take some pictures. What can I say, the kid is too cute for words!

A couple of weeks ago, we gave Sammi rice cereal for the first time. She didn't quite know what to think of it and had a hard time keeping it in her mouth. Overall, I think she did pretty good for tasting baby food for the first time. Another milestone has been reached!
Some updates on Sammi. She has been known to giggle once or twice, but the other night she was laughing at Kyle. He was changing her diaper and was making funny noises at her that she thought were hilarious. She just kept laughing at him. It was hilarious and I caught it on video.
Sammi has also discovered how to make a very high pitch squeal. We were out and about today and she was making that noise constantly. She loves to hear it. She is getting more fun everyday. She has also learned to grab her feet and suck on her toes. We are trying to encourage her to roll over, but so far she has only done it a couple of times. We went to the doctor the other day and she is over 12 lbs and 24 inches. She is in the tenth percentile for height, weight, and head measurements. That is a lot better than under the fifth percentile of her last visit. She is still small, but growing.

Well, I finally took some pictures of Sammi in her beautiful baby blessing dress. And she finally fits into it! When we blessed her in May, it was so big that it almost fell off her. She looks gorgeous in it. I experimented with the black & white and sepia tones. Enjoy.

Today, I took Samantha to go see my friends at the Relief Society building where I used to work. She was wearing her new blue outfit, so I decided to wear blue, too. We were twins! After a while, she just fell asleep in my arms. Everyone thought she was so cute. Samantha is getting so big! She is over 4 months and about 12.5 lbs. She has learned how to giggle and makes this 'gee' sound. She loves it when you repeat the sound back to her. It is a little game we play. She has been such a blessing in our lives!

We took Samantha to the 24th of July parade in Bountiful. We set up chairs right in front of our apartment since we live on Main Street. It was loud during parts of it and Daddy had to take her inside. But she did like to listen to the bands and watch the floats go by.

Last weekend, we went to the Kyle's Chapman Reunion down in Fountain Green. This is his mom's side of the family. The reunion was at a really fun ranch. Everyone camped out expect for us. We stayed at a little motel in Manti because we didn't want to camp with Sammi.

This is everyone from Kyle's family that went.


This is Sammi sitting in her stroller. She loves her caterpillar rattle. No matter where it is in her car seat, it always ends up around her arm.
