New Samantha Pics

Samantha is getting so big. She is starting to talk and it's so exciting. Now if we can only get her potty trained. I took this picture of her before we left for Jamaica. I'll have to get another picture or her because Gigi and I cut her hair when we got back from vacation, but don't worry she still looks cute!

I must say that I'm very proud of our daughter. Today Aunt Traci, Samantha and I went shopping for over 4 hours and she was amazing!! I swear Samantha was born to shop!

I am the worst blogger in the world!!!

It's official, I'm the worst blogger. So I've made a couple of New Year resolutions....along with the rest of the world, I am going to lose weight AND I'm going to be a better blogger. :)

Well, since July of last year so much has happened (imagine that)! Samantha has no health issues. She finally got her first tooth when she was 15 months old. In the last 2 months Samantha has cut 6 teeth. Nothing like getting them all at the same time.

Christmas was fun for all of us. She still didn't grasp the opening of presents, but she still got spoiled. Her birthday next year and Christmas, I'm sure, will be a different story.

Samantha's first taste of ice cream

Samantha's new favorite food is ice cream. At first she wasn't sure of the ice cream, but in the end she loved it!

Dinner for two?

So Nick's Aunt Deni got us started on ear candeling. It's supposed to help with vertigo, allergies, hearing loss, etc. So we tried it one night and invited John to join in on the fun.

This is what came out of our ears. It's super gross! The top left-hand side is from Nick's ears, the top right-hand side is John's ears, and the bottom right side is my ears. I must say my ears do feel better.

Bags and Baby!

Last Saturday the Williams' hosted bag and baby! We got to meet Drake Williams and he is perfect. It's amazing how the BBQ's quickly change once there are kids involved. It was a great time. Thanks again Brandon and Megan for having us all over!

9 Months

I first want to apologize to everyone for being horrible at updating this blog. I promise that one of these days I'll get it together and update it at least once a month. Surprise, surprise that Samantha and I went to Target and got more photos taken. Here are Miss Samantha's 9 month photos. She is getting so big!

Also, Samantha had surgery on Monday and she is doing great. She acts like she didn't even have a procedure done. She went in for surgery at 8:15 a.m. and we were on our way home by 9:35 a.m. The doctor said nothing looks anatomically incorrect, so we are now going to start testing for allergies. Yeah, more doctors and tests, but hopefully we will find out what is making her so sick. Thank you everyone for all your thoughts and prayers.
