December 2010

Whoa - Christmas has come and gone already! December was another fun month (minus one week of Samara starting to have teething issues, but no teeth yet and she is back to normal!). Mommy and Daddy both had busy months at work, in fact Mommy had to work from home some and work an extra day or so. So thankful that I am normally able to just work only three days per week, it is such a blessing to have time with Samara baby! December had a lots of firsts for Samara ... First baby food (avocado - no thank you, bananas - okay, sweet potatoes - yummy stuff, squash - give me more please, peas - yucko, pears mixed with cereal - gobbles it down). First time sitting up all by herself, she started doing this right around Christmas but was still a little wobbly, good to go now! First CHRISTMAS! She of course received plenty of gifts and saw lots of family, she did really well but by the end of the weekend she was ready for a more calm week at home with less visitors. First time meeting Great Grandpa and Grandma Pennell since they were in town! First New Year's Eve - we had a nice quiet evening at Aunt Cathy's house, had snacks, family time and watched some football then headed home before midnight (Daddy said we had to get baby girl home before all the crazy drivers were out!). 2011 here we come!!
