Finally, Samantha gave up being lazy and holds her own bottle. I know she was being lazy because A. she's 9 months old and B. she went from not holding it at all to holding it one handed. 
She makes fun noises like strumming her bottom lip, patting her mouth while going uhhhhh...kinda like you see indians do in movies, and clicks her tongue. She uses the words uh oh in context, but she says it like uh...(long pause) o o o ohh. It's very funny, especially when she does it pre-meditated by saying it and then throwing the bottle off of her tray. Still working on mama and dada, uh oh is just more fun to her I guess. I had some extra quarters, so she rode her first 75 cent moving ride. She had fun. She even got brave and grabbed the wheel towards the end. 
We like to let her explore different things. Like: a puffs container 
a football 
a spagetti noodle 
a keyboard 
and a guitar 
It's a lot of fun. :) This is Samantha and the family heirloom on daddy's side. 
My cousin Hailey had her baby. This is Mollie Mae White born on Hailey's birthday, August 21st. She's just precious. I can't wait for Samantha and Mollie to play together. They're going to be great friends. It's amazing that in 9 months time they go from this: 
to this:
Samantha can stand all by herself now, but sits after about 25 seconds. She waves hi and bye. Oh, and she dances. Lol. Here's a video. Please mute it so you don't have to suffer through my horrible singing while I try to avoid laughing hysterically, you'll thank me.This one is better. It cuts off at the end, but she stopped dancing anyways.
