Samantha turned a whole TEN MONTHS this past week. I can’t believe out little bug is almost a year old. I am recapping some of current Samantha’s favorites [and mom’s too].

Let me be the first to tell you, I dislike summer. But I LOVE the vibes. They are simply marvelous; the sun, the beach, ice cream galore & cool evening strolls. So I bet you are wondering, where is it that you DISLIKE summer?

The weather. Anything past 75 degrees is torture for me. I dislike sweat (unless I’m in a spin class). But other then that, summer is fantastic, especially when the babe gets to splash and hang in her mini pool. #jealous.We also started going to My Gym a few weeks ago to have fun, get same some exercise and play. A great place to hang out if the sun is beaming, not to mention they get to work on things such as balance and other skills!Speaking of balance, we also have a “Rockin’ Tunes Giraffe” rocker that helps her with balance. Not to mention is plays some fun tunes for her.Samantha is eating a variety of things; arrowroot cookies, chicken, turkey, wheat bread & pancakes, waffles, strawberries, raspberries, spinach & kale (in puree), mango, kiwi, pears, pasta, coconut milk and MORE! When we are on the go or it’s a late night from work, it’s easy to whip one of these Gerber pasta pick-ups! She will have them alone or with strawberries on the side.She absolutely LOVES reading. We love the Sophie the Giraffe “tab books,” as it makes her feel like she’s really helping mom turn the pages!Samantha also got Baptized before she tuned 10 months! Word to the wise, next time we will definitely do it before baby turns 4 months. She was very fidgety and cranky since she just wanted to crawl around.  A wonderful day with family (love my brothers), but a tough one. 😉What are some of your babies current favorites?
