Sam

Here are some recent pictures of Samantha taken over the last month. Now she smiles and loves to be propped up (she can kind of sit up on her own for about 2 seconds). Her eyes are still crazy deep blue, we don't know if they will stay that color or not. She has also been sleeping through the night since about 6 weeks (props to baby wise).

Samantha Shevlin Parla

On December 19, 2007 Heather gave birth to our daughter Samantha Shevlin Parla (her middle name is the name of our favorite park where we got engaged and married). It was the most incredible experience I have ever been a part of. I could not beleive my eyes when samantha popped her head out! Right away I felt so much love for the little one. Heather was amazing! The labor only lasted for 2 hours and 20 minutes. Samantha weighed 7lbs 5oz and she was 20 inches long. It has been so fun being parents.
