Samantha - 5 months

Samantha is 5 months (well as of November 9th)!!  Time is flying...and so is Samantha!  She had her first flight this month, and did awesome!  We flew to Florida and she slept the entire way down. We've had a busy month going to Florida and then my parents for Halloween, then to Virginia for my grandmother's funeral, and Samantha did so well traveling considering she slept at home only three nights over the course of a month.  On the way home she was awake for most of the flight, but she was happy, so that's all that matters!  We have also made great strides riding in the car, Samantha can finally fall asleep on her own in the car - although not often, it's much better than it was!

Stranger anxiety has set in, and Samantha wants mommy all the time.  She knows Elizabeth and Daddy, and greets them with big smiles, but if Mommy is in the room, that's who she wants.  The girl can move!  No crawling yet, but Samantha can roll across a room in record time.  She loves being on her tummy, and has started to sleep on her tummy - just as I did with Elizabeth, I stressed out about that, but the doctor assured me as long as she rolls there on her own it's completely safe.Samantha has become very tolerant of her big sister, who can't wait until she is old enough to play with her.  Elizabeth is always giving her (no so gentle) hugs and kisses, and shoving toys in her face any time she cries.  When Samantha wakes up in the morning, Elizabeth gets so excited and has to kiss "mantha" right away!

Any time we are out in public, people comment on Samantha's chubby cheeks, they are so adorable and you just want to squeeze them!!  Her toothless smile is so cute, and her chunky legs are the best!!  We don't have any "formal" measurements this month because she didn't have a 5 month appointment, but the girl is quickly growing out of her 6 month clothing already.  We LOVE LOVE LOVE our Samantha Grace!
