Mirror Mirror on the Wall...

Samantha is learning new things and showing us new tricks each day.  She is getting much better at sitting up.  Today I sat her in front of the mirror and she had a very interesting reaction, see for yourself...

Monkey to the Max

Samantha loves her monkey pajamas and her new sock monkey from Uncle Jeremy!

Thinking about Crawling

Samantha is sitting up so well these days and she is at the very beginning stages of leaning over towards crawling.  Watch how she starts to figure out how to lean over on her Alphabet mat...

Sweet Potato for Sweet Samantha

I have fed Samantha a combination of store bought and homemade baby food.  Here she is eating my homemade sweet potato puree for the first time!

Farms and Zoos OH MY!

This week we had our first trip to the Blue Hill Farm and the Bronx Zoo.  It was a mommy outing to the farm and a family outing to the zoo.  Below are some memorable pictures!

My Baby Girl Can Sit Up!

We went to the Tarrytown Library this morning to participate in a program called "Bouncing Babies".  They tell moms to park their strollers and bounce on in!  So we did :-)  Samantha didn't seem happy sitting on my lap so I sat her up on the carpet and she did something amazing - she sat up all by herself!  Before bed she did it again, she isn't sturdy yet, but she is on her way...take a look!
