Samantha was going to stay with her Grandma last night but Grandma told me she wasn't feeling too well and that she was burning up with a slight fever. So we went to go pick her up and bring her home so Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't have to deal with her.
This morning she woke up with a 101.9 temp. So I took her to the urgent care center to see a doctor. Her temp was only 99.4 while we were there. Which is good that it dropped. but the doctor said she did have an ear infection but it wasn't bad at all. He says we caught it pretty early. Which is good.
Right now she's doing okay. She still has a low grade fever. Last time I checked it was at 100.7. She's very cranky and tired. I gave her, her bath at 8 and she was in bed by 8:45. Which is very early for her. But unfortunately I'm going to have to wake her up at 11 and give her, her medicine.
I just pray she gets over this quickly! I hate seeing her so sick.

No More Bottles+Updates
Samantha has been bottle-free for a week now!!!! YAY!! She's doing so awesome. I never thought it would have been this easy. I mean, she was in love with her bottles. Where ever she was, her bottle was right there next to her.
We had to do some searching around for a sippy that she liked. We have found that she really only likes this one http://www.munchkin.com/products/detail.html?section=prodCategories&ID=10021&pID=1098. She doesn't really get the concept of tilting her head back for the "regular" sippys. Which is fine with me. If she likes it, she likes it.
As of right now she still drinks formula. We won't start cows milk until the doctor okays it at her 12 month appointment. She also drinks water....And alot of it. She's not a big juice drinker. Her doctor says that it's great that she isn't. She might have some apple juice every now and then but she's not a big fan of it or any other juices. She eats great. There's not much that she won't eat. She's a walking pro now. She has actually been trying to run! She loves being chased. She's totally in love with her Daddy. She waves bye, blows kisses, plays patty-cake with Grandma, says a few words...she actually talks a lot but, we just don't know what she's saying...lol. There's an end-less list of things.
Gosh...12 month appointment....Really??? Already?!? Seriously?!? That's coming up next month. Oh man...My baby girl is going to be one in ONE month! I already know I'm going to be an emotional wreck on her birthday...especially her birthday party. I got warned by my boss that the tears will be flying at her birthday party while everyone sings her "happy birthday". I can already feel the tears coming.
It has been a wonderful journey thus far. But we still have many more adventures to seek together. She has grown into such a beautiful, intelligent, funny little girl. Now I know what love really is and she has made me want to be a better person/friend/wife/mother. She really knows how to change a persons life. I love every inch of her. Life without her, is no life at all!

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!
