Samantha in Nashville, 8 months old, and almost crawling.

jason — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:59:56 +0000

We went to Nashville, and came back with pictures.

So lots of stuff to report. We went up to Nashville to visit friends and a fair hunk of Sandra’s extended family and of course, to show off the baby. We were actually told we weren’t invited to a party if we didn’t bring her along.

We introduced Sam to Sandra’s Granny Mac and got to spend lots of time with the Flatt’s (their dogs adopted Sam very quickly… it was funny to watch Guinevere herding and protecting her). We went to a party with lots of extended family, and were amazed at how well Sam slept through fireworks… even some VERY loud ones less than 100 yards from the house.

And Sam is starting to realize that she can move around in the house. She’s been able to scooch backwards and to the side for a week or two now, particularly in her crib, but tonight was the first time she actually drug herself forwards to reach for something (that’s the last picture in the set). She’s able to get back on her knees sorta well, so crawling is VERY quickly approaching… let the appliances beware.

And without further ado, here are the photos.

Sam playing with her bath tub

It's hard not to love that smile.

Though she's coming to love the camera

Sam and Mandy Flatt

Our friends the Moore's (Eric, Kari, Evan and baby Grace)

It's a bit of a silly hat

Until I met Ruby, I hadn't met a lap/yip dog who was worth anything, but Ruby's sweet, and not much of a yipper

Sam and her great-grandmother (Granny Mac)

Sandra, Sandra, Granny Mac and Sam(antha)

she's getting her two front, lower teeth in, so she's chewing on everything now.

Sam vs. a porcelain doll.

Sam wins.

Two good shots of Sam and her mom.

Though I like this one a little better.

Sandra's extended family threw a small party. Lots of people were there.

And more

and a boy who didn't want to smile for the camera much... I think it's because I beat him in Mario Kart. ;-)

Sam's uncle Scotty

Sandra and her brothers love hanging with Sam.

Kyle and Janine (SP?) and Sam

She loved the border collees at the Flatt house... Gwynne had basically addopted Sam after a few hours of confusion.

Sam didn't like cherry's much.

Sam and Kyle

Andy, cooking up some wings.

Our gracious hosts for the long weekend.

And the silly godfather

Who Sam seems to tolerate.

Sam and Mandy.

Ruby again

Sam on her 8 month old birthday.

Showing how she can open cabinates (we need to get the magnetic locks soon)

And Sam finally has figured out that she can drag herself forward a few inches to get something. She's REALLY close to crawling.

Since I know a couple of people who’d like them…

Sam’s Easter Pictures

Sam in the Baby Bjorn

She's almost got the hang of sitting up now.

The cats love the door being open, but Sam's there, so Sarge is a little standoffish

Sam in her Easter Dress (that Honey made)

A nice Easter smile

Sam and Uncle Brandon

Sam and Uncle Brandon and Aunt/Godmother Angela

Sam starts to eat Sweet Potatos

Here are some more pictures…

Sweet Potatos

The sofa isn't soft enough for Anna. She needs a soft blanket, on top of a pillow, on top of the sofa for comfort.

Sarge, being bendy, and not REALLY playing with Sam's blanket...

She can almost sit up completely by her self now. The boppy pillow saves her from falling backwards, which is her only real problem.

We've started feeding her sweet potatos, which she enjoys a LOT more than the rice cereal.

This is a great photo, aside from me getting the wrong eye in focus... :-(

The Ides of Sam

More pictures after the break…

The Ides of Sam

Don't come NEAR me with that flash again... please?

Rocking the cowlick this morning.

Sam’s March Madness…

jason — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 01:28:31 +0000

didn’t have much basketball, but we did take some pictures….

Sam Marches On

Samantha, where'd you get those earphones?

The tulip trees are blooming here in Cobb... they are great models for a photographer, so long as the wind isn't blowing...

Honey walking Sam in the baby bjorn. We dig the Stevie Wonder look...

Sam discovered her feet recently... If she gets quiet, that's usually what she's playing with (currently)

See?

Sam slept too late for us to get to Mass one morning, so we got her prettied up, and took advantage of the tulips around here.

She doesn't really enjoy Tummy-time, but I was able to get some smiles out of her... drool in all.

The smiles don't last long...

To those dieing for pictures of Sam

And this causes more pictures.

Sam's starting to be able to sit up without any support. She doesn't like doing it for long though.

DSC_0301

The cats still don't quite know what to make of Sam. They've accepted her into the house, but they still watch things curiously... (and Sarge flees the room whenever Sam starts crying)

This was a hard one to take. It's the best of this bunch, but it's still not in focus... boo.

Tired daddy, holding a tired baby. (Like the CRT tan and stubbled look?)

Our friend Lyndon and Sam

Sam with wild and crazy hair, after a huge diaper blowout, affecting regions as disperse as elbows and feet.

More wild and crazy hair.

Interlude over, on with the pictures of my child!

We’ve had a GREAT first Thanksgiving. Sam was very good over at Honey’s and GP’s house, and hardly fussed at all… And she was also great when we had other company. More pictures after the break!

Pictures of Sam, the Hyden’s, and the Martin’s

Honey holding Sam

Bundled up in the car seat. She looks scared... maybe she thinks Honey will drive...

The Hyden's come to visit

Sam celebrating the GaTech victory over the dawgs.

Our friends Andrew and Tiffany drop by, bringing by a much appreciated lunch/dinner/leftovers.

Also, you can find some more pictures here:
