Flossing update

Thanks to those of you who responded about the flossing! My mom never flossed my teeth either when I was growing up. I didn't have any cavaties either until after Sammie was born! I think she sucked all the calcium from my teeth and they were feeling vulnerable. Oh well. I'm still not up to the challange of flossing Sammie's teeth, but maybe we'll give it a shot some time. Maybe I can convince her that it will be fun! Who knows.

Jim's brother, Dustin, was here visiting for a few days last week and Sammie just loved having "Uncle Dustin" around to play with and show off for! She would wake up talking about him and would go to sleep talking about playing with him again the next day. Dustin was great too and spent lots of time being bossed around and told to "sit here!" while Sammie played in her kitchen or danced to music. They also enjoyed playing in the backyard as well!

And here is a picture of Sammie with her cousins Norah and Avery. We sat the girls next to each other on the couch for a cousin shot, but Sammie was cranky. It wasn't until she moved to the other end of the couch that I actually caught a smile on camera! But don't be fooled, she really does adore her cousins. Here is another cute shot from our trip back home a few weeks ago...

Spikes!

Spikes!
Sammie's got a cool do. She's 9 months old here.

Sweet face!

I love Samantha's sweet face!
