Opening the first Christmas present!

Samantha's first Christmas

Here are a few highlights from our first Christmas with Samantha. We were so blessed to witness in a new way the miracle of the gift of Christ, as a precious baby, this Christmas. Having a baby at home really drives home the message of Christ's innocence in a fallen world.

Ready to crawl?

Sami put together rolling over and reaching for objects one night and has been a mover ever since (although she's more interested now in sitting up by herself). Here's a clip from that first night of creeping.

Rolling over!

Samantha's fun new milestone this month has been rolling over, and over, and over... but only from back to tummy. Now, if she can just roll herself from her stomach to her back again....

Daddy's little... frog?

Smile and wave to everyone..

Samantha laughing

So Sami will laugh for grandma, but not mom and dad. Guess we can't blame her, grandma is a pretty good grandma to have and worth giggling along with.
