More cute clothes

Another great outfit from a co-worker. We love the little Baby Adidas outfits we got from Rip and his family.

Samantha loves her wrap

As you can see, Granny, Samantha loves being in her wrap. ;-) And I get both arms free to do other things, like shop for more cute baby things!

New toy from the Barnhart's

Althougth Samantha hasn't quite figured out that her hands are her hands to command, she seems to enjoy this new portable bouncy chair/toy quite a lot, so we thank the Barnhart's for it.

New fashion

A friend of mine at work told me to layer Samantha's onesies, since the cute ones are often short-sleeved, so we tried it out yesterday and we think it looks cool.

A close up

We're still waiting to see how red her hair is going to be...

Matching Samantha and Granny

I just happened to look at Mom as she was holding Samantha, and see they had the same colors on.

In trouble with Granny

Mom emailed last night and insisted I get new pictures on the blog, since babies change so much when they're young. As I compare pictures of Samantha over the past two months, I can see she's right (as usual). These are just a couple of quick shots of Samantha as she was relaxing next to me while her Daddy and I ate dinner. I can't bear to be apart from her once we get home, since I have to spend so much of the day away from her. Yet, I know I'm lucky because I am able to be with her during the workday also. Anyway, I will do better to get more pictures on here, on a more regular basis.

2 months old

Well it's turned cold enough for the big wooly carseat cover. Here's Samantha all bundled up on her way to daycare, on her 2 month birthday.

Auntie Nan's vest

Samantha's great-Auntie Nan made this little purple vest for Samantha. What a surprise to receive this in the mail, hand-made with love.

Samantha with toy

Samantha found herself in the mirror of this toy. She was quite excited and wanted to touch the pretty baby in the mirror.

Catching Up

With everyone gone, I am finally sitting down and looking at all the pictures that have been taken of Samantha during the past 2 months. So, this will be the catch-up session. The first picture is Aunt Mare with Samantha, the second is Grandma and Aunt Kate, and the third is Uncle John, Mare's husband with Granny in the background.

Samantha's first smile

Well things are great here with Samantha. Granny and Grandad leave today to return to Shetland, so we'll see how things are once they've left. They've been such a help. Hopefully Dave and I can manage on our own! This picture is blurry but it's the first time we captured Samantha's smile on camera. She has been smiling and cooing plenty since this first smile. More pictures soon.
