"Chubby Samantha?"



So I forgot to post this important SAMANTHA update:

Samantha had her one-year appointment last week. Many of you know she's really small, and in fact she only gained ounces for about 8 months, keeping her in the 13lb range for a long time. Her head was growing, so we were not worried - she did claim the title in our family, though, for the smallest baby, even beating out Anastasia! In February, Samantha FINALLY tipped over into 14 lbs, but as of April 23rd, Samantha weighs 17 lbs 7 oz! Wooie! She chunked out! She's now in the 3-percentile! Ha ha ha ha! Her height is in he 5-percentile. (Sigh w/a smile.)

She still has no teeth, but her gums are all swollen so it wouldn't surprise me if they all come in at the same time. Ana & Brie both started getting their teeth at 10 months, so Samantha is just a record breaker :-D - holding out for 13 months . . .

Can you say Heavy Cream and milkshakes? I know the Rice Milk that we love stuggles to pack on the weight--hey take comfort--you could do Organic Heavy Cream!:)Perhaps she is allergic? Teeth...hmmm the gums look is cute. Cobi was delayed on teeth too. No worries! What a cutie-pie! Loves, Heidi

She is a doll! So glad she is growing a bit more. She looks great. Adorable is a better word.
