Bejeweled

May 3, 2016

Y’all, Samantha is FANCY! I’m sure you’ve noticed the beads in every photo lately and I could not love it more! We got some mardi gras beads at the street party and she latched onto them and won’t go anywhere without being fully accessorized!

She gets up in the morning and the first thing she does is point that little finger to her beads to get them on!

She even wears them with her PJs. She is FANCY.

Adventures

May 2, 2016

The kids have had adventures right and left the past few weeks! Now that Samantha is starting to drop her morning nap, she gets to go and do all around town! She’s loved story time at the library…

and has even gotten to go to Moe’s!

Of course, all those adventures wear a girl out.

Susan also took Spencer and Samantha to the Bud’s Best cookie factory for a tour! Spencer and Maxwell have been before but this was baby’s first time. I think they all enjoyed the cookies…can’t say the same for the hair nets!  🙂

Batter up! Maxwell and Spencer got to go to a Barons game with Robert! Like last year, his company had a box and they thoroughly enjoyed the game…and all the free bags of cookies!!

Finally, last week all three got to go to Tigers for Tomorrow with Susan which is incredible – and really unbelievable that it is so close to us and we didn’t know about it! No pictures are allowed around the animals but they all got to see tigers, lions, bears, wolves and tons of other animals up close and personal! They LOVED it! They all came home with new animals to play with and tired eyes…

It’s just been adventure after adventure around here!

15 month checkup

April 29, 2016

Samantha went in for her 15 month checkup yesterday and she looks great! Fun in the waiting room…

checkup

and then not as much fun after having to get weighed and measured. She didn’t like being handed over to Nurse Shelly!

15 month checkup

She looks fantastic overall. She’s a big girl – 26 lbs, 5 oz and 31 1/4 inches tall! That’s 75th-95th% on both and Dr. Walley said she’s really at about 90th% on weight! wow! She’s a strong, healthy baby girl!! She’s grown 2 inches and 4 lbs since her 12 month appointment. I think that’s because she’s such a good eater!  🙂

For comparison, at 15 months, Spencer was 25 lbs, 11 oz (90th %) and 32 inches tall (95th-98th %).

Maxwell was 23 lbs, 31 inches tall at 15 months.

A few pounds difference between them all but very close and all within an inch of each other. We’ll see where they all end up as they grow.

Samantha is meeting all her milestones in terms of talking, walking and other motor skills. Phew! She was nice to Dr. Walley and let him check her out. She did have to get 2 shots though which she felt like this about it…death stare.

15 months

Poor baby. All the fun wore her out and she fell asleep on the ride home…

15 month

My sweet, big, growing, healthy and happy baby girl. Always thankful for good doctor reports!

Spring in bloom

April 27, 2016

They azaleas are bursting in the backyard so I took the kids out to snap some springtime shots. Got a few good ones and plenty of funny ones! Starting with some of the better ones today…

Yep, that was the best of the group ones! ha! Baby was dancing, Spencer was spinning, and Maxwell was doing his best to stand still and smile! ha! I had a little better luck with some individual ones.
