We have been experimenting with giving Sammi different kinds of baby foods. So far, she loves applesauce, sweet potato, bananas, and carrots. These pics are the first time I gave her sweet potatos. She was such a mess when I was done.
A little fact for my family members out there, Sammi HATES green beans. I was brave and fed them to her the other night. She was so disgusted that she gagged on them. Like mother, like daughter. (For those of you who are not family members, I have been known and teased all my life for hating green beans).

Sammi has these funny pajamas that she got from her Aunt Crystal. They say "hop into bed" and they have these little frogs on them. We put them on her for the first time a couple of weeks ago and thought she looked hilarious. Here are the pics.

The Spike
When Sammi was born, she had this tuft of hair on top of her head that was really long. She had some hair on the sides and in the back, but most of it has fallen out. She still has her little "mohawk" on top and one day I decided to spike it for fun. It was actually the day of my sister, Val's, birthday. We have a picture of her saying Happy Birthday to Aunt Val.

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.
