Hanging around the house

Just some pics hanging out around the house












Anthony worked to hard to assemble her jumper
and she fell asleep five minutes after we put her in it


We could be in trouble, she is already
racking up the phone bill.








Hanging out with Daddy







A first! and an almost first

Sam recently started eating baby food, in addition to her
formula. She has had bananas, carrots, peas and applesauce.
So far so likes them all and thankfully no allergies. Her favorite
seems to be carrots right now but we'll continue to increase her
variety as the weeks go on.








It tastes better from my fingers than the spoon



She wanted to do it herself






Sam also is learning to be mobile and is attempting
to roll over. Although she can roll over her top and
bottom half, she has not figured out how to do them
together. :) We are in trouble once she figures it out
because she will never stay in the same place again.







Taking a well deserved break

Gimme my elephant!








Hanging with Los Abuelos Fuentes

Anthony's mother and step father recently came for a short
visit and Sam was excited to see them, well after she was fed.

Loving my grandma time



the fastest way to Sam's heart



Grandpa Nico is a natural :)

Sam's first trip to the snow

We recently went to the snow in Flagstaff, AZ, to visit my
younger brother. Sam got to experience snow, playing in it,
sledding in it, and even got to experience her first snow fall.
Although Anthony was working and could not join us, we had
fun with some friends and family. It was also my first time
sledding and Lauren and I started off at the little kid (I mean
the 4 and 5 year olds) hill and slowly worked our way to the
bigger hills. Sam was not quite ready to hit the slopes, but we
did slide down a very small decline so she could have a little fun.

Late Post- Visit with Erik, Veronica, and the cousins

Before Christmas, My brother in law, sister in law
and two nieces were able to come for a visit. We
had such a good time with everyone. The girls
helped us decorate the house for Christmas,
decorated the gingerbread house, went to
build a bear and many other fun things. Here
are pics I attempted to post a few months ago,
but never actually posted them. :)


Staring Contest!

Professional Pics

Well it has obviously been awhile since I posted, Sorry about that.
Well we had professional pics of Sam done in December, shortly
after she turned three months. Anthony's brother, sister in law
and our nieces were in town, so they joined us for some of the pics.
Sam, much like her mommy, does not like frilly dresses and was not
having pictures done in some of outfits. But all in all, she did well and
we got some great shots. For anyone in Phoenix, we have a great
photographer for weddings, baby and family pics, who is very well
priced. Check out her website at www.whynotcaptureit.com
