Time to lower the crib.  Once Samantha started crawling, she was all over the place.  It did not take her long to start pulling herself up on chairs, etc.  Usually, it was just to her elbows but it sooned turned into her knees.  On January 5, she managed to stand up!  She is now standing up on all furniture but she has not started cruising yet!  She loves to play with Austin's paws.  She is now spending a lot of time figuring out the stairs.  She has started bringing her knee up but I don't think she is tall enough.  Her second favorite past time is disturbing the boys when they play with Bey Blades.  She would love to join in the fun!

Jacob was such a big help with Samantha!  He loved to feed her and hold her.  The cousins came over one night while they were visiting and they had a ton of fun playing together and then sleeping in the bunkbed.  Jacob and Jack slept on the top bunk.  I can only imagine how crowded it was.  That was the first night that Jacob had ever slept on the top bunk.

My party outfit!!  Samantha wore her new outfit for New Years Eve at Grandma and Papa's house.  The kids had a great time staying up until midnight and then having a little sparkling grape juice.
