World Traveler!







Well Samantha is now a world traveler and has her first visa stamp in her passport! We had a wonderful visit to El Salvador and I am sure she enjoyed spending time with her Kern grandparents and aunts! They sure did spoil her :) During the trip Samantha also played in the Pacific Ocean for the first time. She seemed to enjoy the water as long as it wasn't coming in huge waves! We also taught her the fine art of relaxing on vacation. She slept in a hammock and lounged in the pool with her bottle!

Tutu Cuteness!

Bottle Drama!

I decided to try and switch bottles on little Samantha. I thought..no big deal...all bottles are almost the same and she won't even notice the difference.
I am always looking to save time, get quicker at things, and multitask since there are too few hours in a day. I currently have to wash 6 pieces for each bottle and she goes through at least 6 bottles a day! That is at least 36 small pieces, most with tiny crevices that you need special tools to wash with! So, I found a great alternative with only 3 pieces to wash.
We have tried on and off and she didn't seem to mind much. Well tonight she let us know once and for all what she really thinks about the new bottle...
She started fussing some and we kept giving her the bottle...the crying picked up more and more until she finally started choking on herself...I still thought we could keep crying after I burped her some...oh boy was I wrong! Since I obviously wasn't getting the message she decided to really let me know by reversing out all 6 oz plus some all over me and the couch!
Needless to say we will keep using the old bottles and I will keep washing all 36 pieces every day...

Mother's Day and 4 months old!




This year I celebrated my first mother's day. I have only been a mother for a little over 4 months, but this time has truly taught me so much more appreciation for my mother! Happy Mother's day to all wonderful mothers out there. You are all very special women!
