Beautiful Day for a Baby Naming

Samantha's Naming was so special to us.  So many people we love were in one room and our Rabbi led a beautiful service for our baby girl.  What a happy day for Shoshana Leah!

Thank you Adam for capturing the love and happiness in this picture :-) 

Grandma and Samantha

Grandma and Samantha
You can see her first pair of shoes in this pict - her first Stuart Weitzman Shoes ;-)

This picture was taken afterwards at home -
she was in the best mood and so were Mommy and Daddy!

Walking to Mommy

Samantha is walking, well she needs a little help, but she is trying...  I think she looks like a gymnast in this outfit...

Solid Food Beginnings

Samantha ate solid food for the first time today!!  We started with Brown Rice.

Here is a look at how Samantha has progressed after only a few weeks.  This video was taken on Halloween.  She now LOVES to eat and even makes noise while she eats her oatmeal.  Daddy is feeding her in this video...

Someone Found Her FEET

We saw Samantha's friend Tess grab her feet last time she came over for a playdate so we couldn't wait for Samantha to reach this milestone.  It was close to bedtime and she was laying on her favorite green rain forest mat and here she goes!

Shana Tova

Samantha went to synagogue and heard the shofar for the first time on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  After services we went back to my parents house to relax.  Here is Samantha all dressed up playing and dancing with Daddy...

Later in the night Samantha changed into her monkey pajamas and hung out with the family...

Some Pictures to enjoy from the high holidays...

Here's looking at you kid!  (Her first and only bow thus far)

Tongue in, Tongue out

When Samantha was born we called her "eyes open, eyes closed Samantha".  We actually sang it out loud to her and it had a nice ring to it.  She has always been very alert and is very expressive with her eyes.  This week she found something new, her Tongue.  It is clear in this video from last night why we have now started to call her Tongue in, Tongue out Samantha!

Many of our friends and family know that two days after Samantha was born she needed medicine.  We have been giving it to her ever since.  The past 25 days we have slowly weened her off the medicine and continue to watch her carefully.  Today was the last day of her scheduled weening off period.  Samantha posed in front of her last dose.  

She is too busy watching Daddy eat dinner to look at the camera

We love her sooo much and are so thankful she is doing so well - here are some pictures to show a very happy Samantha :-)

Since she wouldn't look in my direction I moved in between her and Daddy

Now she is ready for the photo shoot

Again with that Tongue!
