Miss Manners

Yes, Sammy, even while trying on sun hats in October, your pinky should be extended out.

Show off

Yes, here is a better picture of her new little earrings. The purple ink used to mark where to pierce hasn't completely come off so it actually looks a little bruised. IT'S NOT. But turning and twisting the earrings doesn't bother her at all. She's such a happy baby. When Daddy gets home, this will really make him smile!

Miss Bling

Yesterday, Sammy met a lady in a store that drew on Sammy's ears. Then this lady stated that Sammy probably wasn't old enough for a lollipop. Mommy said no, Sammy was too young for lollipops now. Then this very nice, very hygenic lady put some very pretty pink earrings in a little device and pierced Sammy's ears. You can see that in the beginning Sammy was leary of what was going on. The cold antiseptic wipes, the drawing with the purple pen, NO LOLLIPOPS, and a sting that hurt! Thank God that those things don't make the loud noise they used to do years ago. But it did sting her and it was done one at a time not both at the same time the way Mommy wanted it to. But it was over very fast. Yes, Sammy cried. I think Mommy cried, too. But a warm bottle was ready and Sammy smiled at the very nice, very hygenic lady when we left. Sammy was so good and so happy that I had to take a picture of her and her bling when we left the mall.

brrr, cold wipes....

ah, what's that?

"That hurt, Mommy." Yes, Mommy knows. Mommy's face looks exactly like this on the other side.

See my new pink earrings? Don't I look pretty?

Spun Gold

The lighting was just right to highlight the strands of Sammy's fine hair. It no longer is 1/8" long...more like 1/2" in some places. Almost comb-able. Almost. Maybe. Ok, just pass your hand over it to push it back down into place. When it gets a little longer, she'll resemble a dandelion seed puff.

Gurgling

So Sammy has started to do this. Mommy says Sammy does this at night. A lot. All I do is laugh at her when she does it. (And, btw, doesn't she look so huggable here?)

k-i-s-s-i-n-g

I kissed a girl and I liked it......(that damn song gets into my head and won't leave!)

What to do, what to do?

In less than two weeks, Mommy is taking Sammy on her very first airplane ride to visit Nana and Grampa Ed in southern California. This affects both you and me. Me? Yes, I won't see little Sammy to take her picture every day. You? You won't see the pictures I take. Daddy won't even see Mommy and Sammy's face, either! Hmmm. I don't know what to do to help you out. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe change the name of this blog to "Every Now and Again Samantha"? "Once in Awhile Samantha"? "The Next Time I See You, Samantha?" "Nope, Stop Looking for her Picture Here, Samantha"? "Check Back Next Week Samantha"?

If any of you have any suggestions on how we can get our DAILY fix of Sammy's face, leave a comment. I just don't know what to do.............

Morning cuddles

Sammy is always so happy to see family. Here she is with Grumpa before he goes to work. She gave him a big smile that he carried around all day long.

Keep an eye out

I know, I know...I'm a slacker. I will be posting over on 'From this Moment On' this upcoming week. You see, Grumpa, Daddy, and Uncle Mike are going hunting for a whole week. That = uninterrupted composing time! I actually have a long draft just waiting for me to upload photos to it and it will be ready to post. And we have been notified that her wedding proofs are ready!! And then the fun begins again!

Arrgh!

Sammy's been practicing her pirate look for Halloween.
