Samantha is 10 months old! (Actually, this is by far the most delayed month-birthday blog post, as Sam's 11-month birthday is in just four days!). It's been a great summer and Sammy has been growing in so many ways. The most amazing development was this past week, when, after a number of weeks of backward scoots only, Sam began crawling in a forward direction! She is now having so much fun moving around the room, and it's a lot of fun for us to see what she chooses to play with, rather than the toy we put in front of her. She also still loves to stand, and her new favorite pastime seems to be crawling over to one of us, then using us as human jungle gyms to climb to a standing position. When she's finally made it onto her feet, the look of pure joy and pride on her face is priceless.
We have had a lot of fun adventures this summer and the following photos are just a few. Included in these are pictures from a nice summer evening on Lake Washington, and from two great trips to Whidbey Island with the Frees, and the McInstrys. Also a picture of Sammy hanging out with her friends Gus and Nathan, and a couple from her very first Husky game this past weekend (at which she did great and made it through the whole first half)! Finally, a couple "big girl" pictures, of Sammy standing oh-so-nonchalantly with just one arm for support, and a picture from her picnic dinner tonight.
More pictures, and a video of Samantha on the move, to come soon (I promise!)...
