Another Birthday Party

We went over to my Dad's house this past weekend to celebrate Samantha's birthday with that part of the family. That part of the family hadn't seen her since last summer, so it was fun to see all their reactions at how much she had changed. Here are a few picture from the party.
She liked having everyone sing Happy Birthday to her.She was ready to have cake again. The whole time we were singing she was leaning trying to reach the cake.Her cake at our house was white with white frosting. The cake at this party was chocolate cake with white frosting.I think she liked the chocolate cake. ;)She decided she didn't need a plate for her cake. ;)And then of course she got a bath when she was done eating. She enjoyed playing with the water coming out of the faucet.

12-month Well Baby Check-up

We had Samantha's 12 Month Well Baby Check-up on Friday. Our doctor told us that she was a healthy, happy little girl. We are enjoying watching her grow and develop. Last week I discovered that her 7th tooth came in. She never acted like she was teething! It is the bottom to the right of the center tooth. She now has 4 on top and 3 on bottom. She is loving eating "people food". She has tried so many new foods over the last 2 weeks. :) She is talking up a storm. She says, to name a few, Mama, Dada, "Diddy" (kitty), hi, bye bye, night night. It is so fun to hear her trying to have a conversation with Marc. She beginning to become more stable on her feet. I don't think it will be long before she is chasing her brother around!
We finally turned her car seat to face forward. I think she is enjoying being able to see where she is going, not where she has been. ;)
