samantha is six months old

Our little Samantha! People always assume that we must have a million photos of her...but the truth is that when you take pictures for a living and do it day in and day out, sometimes its easy to procrastinate on taking your own family photos! So.....since Sammi will be six months old in about a week and a half, we "scheduled" a photo shoot for her today. Thank goodness for remote triggers (like a remote control for your camera so you can take the photo from across the room once you've set it up)! :) Sam was really really tired today. She's had several play dates this week and we also think she might have a tooth coming in. She got grumpy pretty fast (which is not like her at all) and took several naps today, so we'll be sure to take a few more next week if she's up for it.

And an update for you...she is crawling!!!! Yes, it's true. Not even six months old and getting around and about. It is definitely more like "army crawling" than actual crawling, but we had to set up our baby gates as soon as she started moving! Crazy! She especially likes to chase after the dogs and laughs at them. It seems like I just brought her home from the hospital. I can't believe how fast the time is flying by and how fast she is growing.

We're heading to the annual Brand Family Reunion this weekend in Fort Wayne...we'll be back on Monday! Have a great weekend!
