Samantha's Crawling!!!...FINALLY!!

On Friday afternoon Samantha finally decided she was going to lift her bottom off the floor and attempt to crawl! Hannah, Samantha and I were playing in the living room when Samantha made her first attempts at crawling. I was so excited I called Adam and was saying into the phone with excitement..."Samantha's crawling! Samantha's crawling!" Rather then saying, "Yay, how exciting!" He says..."Well she's not an invalid"...way to go Dad on being happy for your daughter's major accomplishment. So here is a sequence of her crawling. Hannah and I set up toys out of her reach and off she went...

Hannah giving her sister a "helping" push...


And she's off..


Almost there..


Just about there...when Samantha gets almost to where she is going rather then crawl all the way there, she flattens herself out and stretches. Talk about lazy!! She also crawls at near a snails pace...I guess I should be thankful of that right now.


My next sequence of photos is Samantha discovering that Tulip's bone looks pretty good to chew on...and Tulip does it so why can't she have it too.

"Hey Tulip I will trade you your bone for my blue cup."


"I will just take that since you are not looking."


"Ha-ha I have it!"


"I don't know if this was worth all the effort."


"Oh well it is still something to chew on."


Tonight the girls took a bubble bath together..Samantha's first bubble bath...I cannot believe I haven't given Samantha a bubble bath yet and she is almost 9 months old!! Anyway, she LOVED it! She was squealing with delight and Hannah came up with this skit (which she frequently does in the bathtub with Samantha and I have to present them and there are imaginary curtains) about "The Bubble Girls".

So here is Hannah getting the little bubble girl ready for the show...


"Mom, what is she doing to me?"


The Big Bubble girl ready for the show...


"Hey, this is a lot of fun!"


"Bubble splashing is so much fun!" Squeal! Squeal!


More squeals of delight..


Let me try and stand again in the most dangerous place I can...


Last we were hanging out in Hannah's room having a snack b/c Adam was vacuuming in the living room and I just thought this was a cute picture of the two girls having a snack over a mini table on the floor.



Here is just one more picture...I always post happy pictures of Hannah so I thought I might post one of her not so good moments...because believe me we have several of them. I have no idea why she is crying here...it is just one of Hannah's moments of breakdown that disappear as quickly as they come on...as I said in a previous post...I can't wait for the hormones to kick in when she is a teenager. :)
