Samantha is 6 months old today!!! Praise God for our little miracle! What an incredible ride it's been.
We're taking her to the beach this weekend to celebrate. It's a powerful event. When Samantha was first in the ICU and her oxygen levels kept dropping, I promised her that if she kept breathing on her own through the night, I would take her to the beach. I meant right away, but that wasn't in the cards. This weekend I'll fulfill my promise, and she seems to be just old enough to enjoy it. We've stocked up on baby sunscreen, she has little baby sunglasses that attach via a band around her head, and I've bought her a sand pail big enough that she can sit in it. She may be too small to play with it, but it should make a good photo opp. She may last no more than 10 minutes, but she's gonna look like a pro.
For her "half birthday", she also received a Rainforest Jumperoo, one of those free-standing springy things with toys around the seat. I really expected her to lose her mind with excitement, but when I put her in it this morning she was pretty dubious. She loves to kick, so I think she'll figure it out. She gets absolutely manic when she gets to play with her Kick and Play Piano. Hysterical. I'll have to put up a video one of these days.
