First of all, thanks to everyone for the warm wishes on my first day at the new job! It was very much appreciated and put a very big smile on my face that first day... so THANK YOU ALL. The job is going great. I am still going through training, but learning lots of information and slowly starting to work my own files. I'm getting the hang of it slowly but surely and think that this could be a wonderful opportunity for me and more importantly, for my family!
Second, Miss Samantha is starting to warm up to the whole rice cereal idea! When we first introduced her to the 'foreign' matter a couple of weeks ago, she was NOT happy at all. So, Gregg and I decided to back off for awhile and try again at a later time. Saturday morning Samantha woke up in a happy mood (as usual) so I decided to give the evil rice monster another try... so I strapped her into the highchair and give it a whirl. She liked it and ate all the rice cereal that I had prepared and had been on a roll ever since! We are so proud of her :) Last night, she started grabbing for the spoon and shoving it into her mouth (like I couldn't feed her fast enough!) I think we will be moving on to Stage 1 foods before we know it.
Now, as some of you know, Samantha has been battling ear infections since the beginning of February. Well, it's not getting any better and in fact, it never has really gone away. The poor thing has been such a trooper and never cries except for the day that it "starts" up. We get her started on antibotics and she is her happy self again. However, since this have been going on for awhile now and hasn't resolved and she's now had 2 single ear infections and 1 double ear infection, the dr's office has decided it's time to send her over to and ENT to discuss ear tubes. So, she will go for her first "consult" on the 7th and we will see what needs to be done at that point.
Other than that, we are just trucking right along and getting ready for the little one's baptism at the end of April
I will leave you with this picture of Sammie trying out her first plate of "solid foods" - Southern style (I got Gregg to make ribs one night and they were wonderful) :)

That picture is so cute!
Hey guys! Love the blog and pics of Samantha. She is such a cutie! Hadley didn't really love rice cereal plain, either. She really loves it mixed into her fruits and veggies, though. You'll love moving on to the stage 1 foods. Oh, and I started a blog. Check it out if you have time at: dailysweetpea.blogspot.com. I have my own baby food woes posted there:-)!
Talk to you soon-- and hopefully, we'll see you guys in April.
