Baby strength training

Look at this baby push up! What a strong baby!

Tummy time video

Here is the video of Sam during tummy time. Again, not her favorite activity, but she has pretty strong neck muscles and is starting to lift her torso.

Daddy and me

Nick is such a great dad. He really helps out and is so cute with Sam. Here are some great pictures of the two of them together.

In other news, we took Sam to an ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT or otolaryngologist) and she was diagnosed as being tongue tied (officially ankyloglossia). My mother and brother both had their tongues clipped, but the procedure is much more complicated now. It is an outpatient surgery that requires anaesthesia to administer the local. But the doctor said hers is bad enough that she will most likely need it done and its best to do before her teeth come in. Poor baby!

First Walk!

So after the pediatrician, we thought it was a nice day so we would take Sam for a walk. It was the first one she had been on because we kept thinking we should take her on one and it would be about to rain or too late or too cold. So we finally got it together.

One month check up

Sam had her one month check up last Thursday. She was actually 5 1/2 weeks, but it was when we could make an appointment. She checked out well. And she is now 10 pounds, 8.5 ounces and 23 inches long. That puts her her at the 90th and 95th percentiles respectively. She already weighs what the average 2 month old does.

The picture of Sam and Nick is when we were waiting and she thought that was a comfortable position.

Cute little outfits

Sam has some really cute outfits. Check out these.

Bath time

Here are some pictures of Sam in her bath and in the towel robe afterwards. She is not crazy about bath time yet, but I got a picture before the fussing.
