Sam and dad went to see Dr. Sidman (ENT Specialist) last Tuesday and received an all clear checkup. Dr. Sidman said Sam is a happy, healthy, chubby baby and his only concern was that he would not get to see her again. So, we are very happy with the success of Sam’s surgery and are enjoying watching her eat with no complications. We had an exciting weekend with my dear friend Jill Seufert getting married, both Todd and I had the pleasure of being a part of Jill & Brian’s special day. We will be putting more pictures out on the website of the Menier family all dressed up.

Sam is doing great she is on the verge of laughing, she laughs a little, but has yet to get her deep belly laugh going. She is now rolling over to her side and has also started pulling herself up while sitting in her swing and on laps. She talks all the time and enjoys it the most while getting her diaper changed! (I have no idea where she learned to talk so much!!) She is still enjoying daycare and loves watching the other kids…who also love giving hugs and kisses to Sam all the time. She goes in for her 4 month wellness check up on Friday, so we will update the website with her big weigh-in numbers. We hope that you all are enjoying the warm weather the last couple of days and like us are looking forward to spring.

Welcome to the grand opening of SamIsSoBig.com! This site looks a lot like our old one, but we think you’ll find some improvements like easier-to-browse photo albums. Plus you can sign up to be emailed when new updates and pictures are available (which will be much more frequently - we made this site a lot easier to update than the old one). Oh yeah…and hopefully the site address is easier to remember!

Sam is continuing to change every day. She’s “talking” all the time now (gets that from Mom?), and is learning how to grab and hold onto things. She’s gaining weight at a healthy, steady pace; she was at 12 lbs 3 oz at her last weigh-in on Monday 1/26. We’re only taking her in to be weighed once a month now. We also have one more appointment with Dr. Sidman (the ENT specialist who operated on her) on 2/17 to see how she’s doing.

Sam started day care this week! We found a wonderful home day care provider named Terri who lives about a mile from our house. Sam is the only baby; there are three other kids: two 2-year-olds and a 4-year-old. Sam will be there Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays now that Mom has gone back to work part time. Terri says she’s doing great and has been a big hit with the other kids.
