This summer (LOTS of pictures)

Forgive me for not blogging in forever!! My computer died, and I ended up getting a new computer, but had to put all of my pictures on this new computer. I hopefully will be able to keep things a little more up to date now.
This summer has flown by!! We have had lots of fun and been all kinds of places. Below are pictures of some of our adventures. Here are a few tidbits about our summer and our sweet Samantha who is now 6 months old:
* Today she weighed 16 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. (50% percentile)
* She is 27 inches long (90% percentile)
* She has 2 teeth on the bottom and more coming in on the top.
* She is such a sweet baby with a very fun personality!!
* She is still waking up about twice a night. Hopefully this will end soon!
* She is SO close to crawling. She gets every where by scooting or just rolling to what she wants.
* She is eating some real foods. Her favorites are zucchini, pears, carrots, and squash.
* She is starting to drink out of a sippy cup.
* She LOVES the water!! She is like a little fish!
We have traveled to Orlando twice and then to Myrtle Beach for the 2nd annual Greenhorn Family Reunion. Samantha met her Aunt Nat for the first time and loved her instantly, but who wouldn't!! In Orlando, we got to hang out with Uncle Colby, Aunt Maddi, Jason, Scott, Sarah, and Gigi. We took Samantha to the Magic Kingdom for the first time, and of course, I got a little teary eyed. (It's ok, you can roll your eyes). She also rode Pirates of the Caribbean and the Toy Story ride. Samantha also got to meet Pluto, Bucky Greenhorn, and Mike for the first time. She loved all of them!! She rode her first airplane to Orlando, so that was another exciting adventure. In Myrtle Beach, we played in the sand, took walks on the beach, ate ice cream, and played with Jack, Audrey and Elisha.
It has been a FABULOUS summer with lots of firsts!! Can't wait to see what happens next!
