Funny doggy

Sammy was tickled by my little yorkie, Sadie the other morning...she giggled and giggled.

Introducing.....

Itsy and Bitsy...Sammy's two new front teeth! They came in on Jan 25 and Jan 27. Yes, it's a bit hard to see them and her poor little mouth is still sore. But! They are there and waiting for more to show up.

Tommy Tippy cup

Yes, we are graduating into cups now. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But she sure does love playing with them! And, as always, quite fashionable in matching pants and cup.

Daddy kisses

Sammy is just getting the hang of giving kisses. Sometimes she'll kiss you, sometimes she won't. She's very fickle. Most of the time she gets distracted by something other than your pursed lips. Daddy has not recieved very many of these yet. So it was special that I got this kiss for proof.

Doctor's visit - Nine month check up

Last week, Sammy had her check up and guess what? Yea! No shots! (this time). She is in the 75% for her heigth..28.75", she's in the 75% for her head measurement..17.75" and this shocker, the 55% for her weight..18.8. She's taking after Mommy, long and lean, but the doctor said it's because she's more active now.

Simply Perfect

Yes, you are.

Baby proofing

It's been many a DECADE since Grumpa and I had to baby proof our home. Now that Sammy is a few minutes away from crawling all over the place, I started to look around to see what needed to be done.

1. See that pink bag? That pink bag that has about 10 separate items that either can cut or stab? Yeah, that has to be put up.

2. Cords....didn't have to worry about computer cables 28 years ago. What to do, what to do?

3. Dog toys. Eeewwwww. Get rid of the dogs.

4. Stairs. We didn't have stairs in our home when Daddy and Auntie were little but now we do. I need to block this off until she's old enough to do this without giving me a heart attack. Like when she's 18.

5. Cabinet locks. Oh how I hated these things before. I don't keep many of my cleaners beneath the kitchen sink, but the ones I do keep there...bad news. Time for those locks.

6. Electrical outlets. I am a survivor of stupidity. As a child I took a hairpin and jammed it into an outlet. I had burns all over the palm of one hand and one scorched outlet. So outlet covers, here we come.

Anything else I haven't thought of?

I didn't do it!

Let me be the first to tell you that I did NOT give this baby red licorce. Daddy did. But, boy, did she love it! And she only gagged herself once.

Entertain me

Mommy and Daddy? "I'm bored." Get used to this expression and the attitude. Mommy, you KNOW exactly what I'm talking about. I'm sorry. She gets this from you-know-who.

This many

Did you know that come April, I'm gonna be this many?
