Samantha Update

Samantha is doing very well. She will be 9 weeks old on Sunday. I always said I would take lots of pictures of all my kids (don't we all...) but I'm finding it much harder than I expected. Most of this pictures are about a month old. I haven't taken any in a while.

A few fun facts:

She LOVES to be on her tummy. It is SO SO tempting to just let her sleep that way. She falls asleep very quickly/easily when you put her on her belly. As such, she is pretty happy during tummy time. Here she is at 4 weeks (with Noah trying to show her how):


And 5 weeks:

the beautiful blanket she is on was made by my sister, Christa. She is amazing.

The boys still adore her and ask to hold her ALL THE TIME. They are becoming a bit more gentle. Noah LOVES to give her a binky anytime she is crying and looks SO proud right after he does. However, they both also love to put her binky in their own mouths, so that is fun to police!


I still can't believe how small she is compared to her "big" brothers!


She is SUPER smiley and coos a lot. These are some of her first smiles in response to me at around 4 weeks:


She is a lot like Micah was in that she is super alert when awake and loves to look at/study everything around her. She loves to sit on the couch/in a swing/or on the floor as long as she has something to look at.


Here are a few I just took a few minutes ago. We had just gotten back from the park. I put that hat on her b/c we were out in the sun for a while. She was just super smiley and looked so cute, I had to snap some pictures, so here she is at 9 weeks:



Super sweet...We sure love you Samantha!
