Out And About

Sam is nearly 7 weeks old and we have been having a lot of fun. Last week was busy for us with visits to the breastfeeding group (Sam weighed in at nearly 10lbs!), the doctor and the Morgan Hill Farmer's Market. We had a visit from my friends Kristin and Jen last Sunday and Sam got to meet Jen's son, Aiden for the first time. Though Sam isn't the best playmate quite yet, I'm sure that they will have a lot of fun together in years to come.

This past weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Ishibashi came from Nevada to see Samantha. It was a lot of fun to spend a couple of days with them and we are looking forward to seeing them again soon. Sam also met two of her cousins, Kayla and Emily for the first time last Friday morning. She had quite the busy weekend, so we stayed home on Monday to rest up for another big week.

We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and will be running a couple of errands (depending on Sam's schedule). This Friday, we are looking forward to a visit to Carla's to meet her new baby, Miss Kaylee. Carla is one of my yoga friends and her little one is just about a week old. I know Sam is excited to have a new girlfriend to play with and we are very excited to meet her.

I just uploaded some pictures and thought I would share some of our favorites. We are working on getting birth announcements out--it is hard to choose just one photo to use!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Getting ready for bed...Sam's been doing better with the nighttime sleeping. She is going for about 5 1/2 to 6 hour stretches in the evenings!

Sam is more alert and she likes to hang out in the play gym. She is even starting to "hit" the dangling animals. She especially likes the musical monkey that dangles in the middle!

She is starting to grow into her clothes!

And she now likes her swing! As I type, she is napping in the swing :)
