We enjoyed a nice visit from my parents and younger brother over Easter weekend. The weather was pretty miserable, but luckily they were happy to just hang out at the house with us (by "us" I mean Sammy). We did get a chance to take them to Jake's, our favorite local restaurant and do a little bit of shopping. They got Sammy what we lovingly refer to as a Bouncy Bouncy, and she's been enjoying it daily since. This is her one of the first days we got it. She's a much more aggressive bouncer now.
Samantha also managed to turn 6 months old this month! She recently began sitting pretty well on her own when she feels like it. She really enjoys sitting and looking at her refelction in a mirror...so vain! She had her well baby visit on Monday, and everything looked good. She weighed in at 18 lbs, 4.5 oz, and was 26 inches long. She's meeting all of her milestones and is doing great. She had to get 3 shots, but calmed down pretty quickly after they were over.
Now that she's 6 months old, she finally gets to add some real food into her diet. The solid food is really just for fun and learning right now. She still gets the bulk of her calories from me, but we're getting her used to new tastes and textures. Her first food was avocado. It was almost too smooshy for her to get to her mouth, so we gave her a hunk of pear to gnaw on next. She's also tried peach and carrot, and there's a sweet potato waiting for her in the next couple of days. So far she hasn't really loved or hated anything, so we're just going with the flow. Here's some video of the avocado experience.
