Time Flies When You're Having Fun

This winter has flown by, and the Atkinson family has been making the most of it!  Here are some photos from our winter season, wrapping it up just in time for Spring.  Don't forget, we Spring Forward this Sunday, the 14th!

Lauren came for a visit and gave Samara her first dental check-up!  Samara wasn't too sure about it at first, but she came around as soon as she tasted the toothpaste and fluoride!  She also decided the toothbrush is a pretty fun toy.

Samara started pulling up to a stand just a few weeks ago, and she got her first "war wound" in her crib while trying to pull up on the rail.  If you look closely, you can see it under her left eye.  Poor baby!

Lookin' cute in an empty diaper box.

Lil Sassafrass...

You can still see remnants of the war wound in this pic.

Lunch with Barbara!

Pulling up in her crib for the first time!

A visit to the park on Valentine's Day.  Samara LOVES the swing!

The playgroup visits the Zoo.  A little chilly, but still fun!

Beckett shows off his downward dog yoga moves.

Andrew might have a little crush on Samara!

Samara and Marshall learn to share.

Puppy love...

A big, slobbery kiss!

Samara shows off her crawling skills while Skyping with Lovey and Beane Beane.

Samara rooted for the Saints at the Super Bowl, since her Nanny Mo is an adopted Louisianian!

Aunt Lauren taught Samara some cheers before the big game.

Big Girl Bath Time

It's amazing how fast they grow, isn't it?  It seems like just last week we were giving Samara baths in her little baby tub, and now she sits up like a big girl in her bath chair, playing with her squirty toys.  (In case you heard the nasty report about bath toys with holes in them, we heard it also, and will be replacing her toys as we find proper substitutes - it's pretty hard to find toys without holes!)

Anyway, since we know how quickly things change, we try to document every moment we can.  Here are the latest tub pictures of our little girl having a blast.
