Scrappy Girl

Early Halloween Wishes

from our Party...more photos later!
 

Six months old

Sweet girl is now 6 months old...she weighs in at 16 lbs 5 oz and 27 inches...still on track to be a tall girl!  She is still a happy girl, who I think keeps trying to say "ma ma", and lights up and giggles for her big sister!  The girl wakes up so happy at 3:30 in the morning, it's hard to not be happy to snuggle with her!!!
 

Growing so fast....

Samantha is growing so fast....I have spent most of this evening moving out the 3-6 month clothes (which were pulled out less than a month ago) in favor of 6-9 month clothes.  It's always tugs a little at the heartstrings to put away all those tiny clothes....

These are her 4 month photos....

  (Love this face!)

And from the Baptism last weekend...

 

And Erin and her cousin (and also her "best friend Ella"), which is a little melancholy this week as yesterday they moved to Berlin.

And yes, Erin had to wear the fancy gold "sparkle" shoes. 

One Month Old

How the time does fly.  I can't believe the smallest one is now one month old.  And almost 11 pounds, and just shy of 23 inches.  Officially growing like a weed.  I am trying hard to enjoy every moment, since I know it really does go by in the blink of an eye.  Hoping for more smiles and coos tomorrow. :)

 

No longer the baby of the family.

It was a quick reign for Samantha as baby of the Kamman family.  Her cousin Charlotte took over as baby of the family on Mother's Day.  They met tonight, and as you can see from the photos, Charlotte is a normal 8 lb baby versus her cousin the giant 10 lb baby (and probably rapidly approaching 11 lbs at the moment.)

 

More little one...

Just a quick snapshot of the new wee one....she is already 10 lbs 2 oz at under three weeks and just like her big sister, very strong and trying to hold up her head.

(Belated) Birth Announcement

It has taken a week, but just in case, we welcomed Samantha Clare on Saturday, April 18th at 2:47 pm.  She decided to pick her own birthday, we got to the hospital about 10am, the epidural worked this time (hurrah!!!), and other than her unexpected large size (9 lbs 13 oz - they even re-zeroed the scale and re-weighed her) Mama and Baby did just fine.  Better birthing through chemistry.

  

Erin ADORES her baby sister and will sit and hold her for 30-45 minutes at a time, and only gets mad when she CAN'T hold her-- how sweet is that?!  And to hear her say "I love Samantha Clare" will melt your heart.

More later....
