Time is flying!

Well, we went the a party supply store over the weekend and got stuff for Samantha's first birthday party. Time is flying! It seems like just yesterday that I was in the hospital having her. I can't beleive that I am planning her 1st birthday already! Wow!

6th Tooth!

Samantha's 6th tooth finally popped through on Saturday. While she got all the other teeth, you never would have thought she was teething, but this 6th tooth really got her good. She had a fever off and on for about a week, she was cranky, and she slept a lot more then usual. I am just glad that it is in and no hopefully she can get back to be the happy, smiling, giggling little girl she is.

Pike to Eel

Marc went to swim class today and we found out that his teacher thought he was doing well enough to move on. Next week he will start the next level up of swimming lessons. We are very excited and proud. :)

5th tooth!

Samantha now has 5 teeth with a 6th on its way in. I had been watching her top right front tooth to come in. Marc was feeding her the other day and decided to look in her mouth first. He informed me that she already had 4 teeth in. Her tooth on top to the left og her left front tooth had come in the day before. I didn't even know that was coming in. That night I noticed that her top front right tooth came in. She currently has 2 teeth on the bottom and 3 on top. The 6th tooth that is coming in is also on top. So, if yo put your finger in her mouth......watch out! ;)

On the Move!

Well, our lives as we knew them have changed! ;) Samantha officially started crawling this week. Last week she would move her hands forward and then drag her knees behind her for about 3-4 "crawls" worth. This past weekend she began crawling! She crawls with a purpose too! She sees something she wants, and off she goes! She is not a fast crawler yet, but she is on the move! Enjoy the video!

A Milestone for Marc!

After 3 years of out-patient speech, we were told that he is now done. We will go next week to sign the official papers that is now now ineligible for speech. It is bittersweet. I am so used to going and Marc has a great time with Mrs. Tari. People that knew him "back when" are amazed at how well they can understand him. I can't believe how far he has come!
This is a picture of Marc with Mrs. Tari on his last day. :)

3rd tooth!

Samantha's 3rd tooth popped through today! It is on the bottom next to the one that she already has. Still no pictures though. :( I think the 4th is working on coming in, it is on the top next to the one that came through yesterday. Nobody would ever know that she is cutting teeth. She has been chatty and smiling, and just all around happy. We are very thankful for that!

2nd Tooth!

Last night I decided to feel in Samantha's mouth to see if any more teeth had come in....and she bit me! ;) The tooth on top directly over where her other tooth on the bottom is in. So, our little girl now has 2 teeth! She still won't let us get a picture of them. :(

Sledding Day at Preschool

Marc had a sledding at preschool today. As he was sledding I realized that he had never been sledding before! I am not a fan of cold weather so I haven't taken him out to go sledding before. He was a little unsure at first. After he saw some of the other kids going on the hill smiling, he decided it was fun. He didn't want to go in when his teacher told him that is was time for sledding to be done. Here are a couple of cute pictures for this morning:After the kids went inside the teacher put me on "S'more Duty". I made s'mores for the kids to at for snack after their sledding time. They were super yummy!!

Samantha's 9 Months Old!

Samantha turned 9 months old on January 7th! Time sure does fly when you're having fun! She got her first tooth on her 9 month birthday, she is transitioning to stage 3 foods, she loves rolling all over our living room floor, and she is very close to crawling. She also has figured out how to say Mama & Dada. She waved bye-bye to me when I dropped her off when I went to work this morning, it was so cute! We had her 9 month well-baby check-up yesterday. Here are her statistics:
Weight: 18lbs 9.5oz 40th percentile
Height: 29 1/4 inches 92nd percentile
Head Circumference: 45cm 75th percentile
