As usual, we are keeping very busy (so busy, in fact that I haven't updated the blog in nearly a month!). My work schedule throughout January was beyond insane and I am so happy for February. Things will slow down a bit for us and I can't wait!
So, let's start with Samantha's 7 month chair pictures...
This was one of the few pictures in which she was sitting somewhat still
As you can see, she loves to put everything in her mouth these days...which leads us to the title of this post
Big Milestone Alert: Samantha has her first two teeth!
Here's how it all went down...
While I was at work on Thursday, January 21st, I came out of a meeting to see that my phone had a voicemail. The vm message was from JoAnn and was as follows: "Call me as soon as you can--we have BIG NEWS!"
After about an hour of phone tag, we finally connected and she told me that we had confirmation of the first tooth bud. It is quite ironic that JoAnn was the one to discover Sam's first tooth, as she and I have attributed any bit of fussiness over the past 2 months to "Sam's teeth". I guess now we are actually somewhat warranted in our claims! :)
The first tooth came through pretty quickly and the second one was right there as well. She now has a cute little gummy grin dotted with two tiny white teeth on the bottom (center) of her gums. All things considered, the teething process hasn't been all that horrible (knock on wood!). We did have a rough weekend with naps, but I think she has been quite a trooper throughout the whole process.
Just when I thought we were set on the milestones for awhile, Sammy surprised me with another big one the Saturday after her first tooth popped through (1/23). While I was packing us up for a big day at work (that's right, Sammy Jo helped us with Team In Training recruitment this year), I glanced over at Samantha in her play gym and caught her rolling from back to tummy. She's pretty mobile these days and is on the verge of crawling--yikes!
