Lest I Forget ...

Samantha turns 4 months old on Saturday. In 4 months, you wouldn't think I would be forgetting things quite yet. The truth is, she is growing and changing so quickly, some things are escaping my memory. I'm trying to be better about capturing the moments that make me smile, even if they'll make her cringe down the road. I don't ever want to forget how precious she is every single day, whether we do something exciting or we just do our regular business. Here is a small sample of "little moments" from the first 4 months ... Steve and I can't wait to see what kind of entertainment she'll provide in the next 4 and beyond!

Check out that pacifier ring - a perfect oval.

Sometimes we have a problem drooling at bottle time ...

She gets the cutest bed head!! How in the world does her peach fuzz hair get that messed up?

Needless to say, this photo was taken after she had excessive spit up. Watch out! Mt. St. Samantha could blow at any minute!

One of my favorite photos yet - Steve snapped this one after she fell asleep while I was rocking her. She had had a long day at the pool. Love those cheeks!

The first - and only - attempted car diaper change on a road trip.

Not happy about her first tub bath.

Even though Samantha is filling out nicely, she has the tiniest waist. Sometimes she has a small problem holding up pants and diapers. This "cracked" us up, literally!

A face only a mother could love ... the infamous choke hold burping position, which she actually likes. It is very effective!
