Playing Outside

Samantha has been wanting to walk everywhere and I mean everywhere! So I thought it would be a good time to purchase some good shoes for her. This was her 1st time outside walking around. It was so fun to just watch her explore everything in sight. She had a great time and was pretty upset when we had to go inside and eat dinner.

Poison Control

Samantha and I were in our bathroom. All of a sudden, I heard Samantha coughing and crying hysterically. So I went to her and she had white little pieces in her mouth! I smelled it and it was her Daddy's deodorant! I have to admit, I wasn't too concerned, at first.
But she kept coughing/gaging, sticking out her tongue like it was on fire and crying. So I called the doctors office. After the nurse talked to me like I was a horrible mother and couldn't believe I was calling her instead of calling poison control. She gave me their number.
The woman was very nice and told me not to worry, that deodorant doesn't really have anything that's poisonous in it. I told her that it seemed like her mouth was on fire, she said that Axe deodorant doesn't have anything in it that would burn her. She told me to just keep an eye on her, if things get worse to take her to the ER, of course.
She's doing fine right now. I can still smell the deodorant scent on her breath and she may cough here and there but I know I would too. That would be horrible to have that nasty taste in your mouth. Yucky! My poor sweetie! :(
So we survived our first poison control chaos!!! Thank God it wasn't anything too serious!

Somebody Is Walking

Guess who's walking?
How did you guess?
Samantha has been taking a few steps here and there for a few weeks now. But last night she was a walking maniac! I had the camera out and hit record at the right moment! Thank goodness!

9 Month Check Up

Samantha had her 9 month check up on July 19th. She's 28 inches and 19 pounds. Doctor said she's doing beautifully. Very healthy, happy little girl. But while we were on vacation she came down with this rash. It was all over her face, bottom of her feet, palms of her hands, chest and thighs. It didn't seem to bother her much. The doctor told us not to worry it's very common. The doctor called it coxsackievirus. He said the next day it would reach its peak then should go away. He hit that right on the nose. The next 2 days it was gone.

Later that day she got her 1st hair cut! I asked her Grandma if she could trim it. It was always in her eyes and tickling her ears. It looks 10 times better!
