Christmas in July

I keep our Christmas nutcracker figure tucked away in our laundry room. Mommy hates actual nutcrackers (something about their jaws?) but loves the Nutcracker Ballet. I wanted to make sure that Sammy doesn't become afraid of any nutcrackers so I brought this out yesterday. She had seen parts of it back in the corner of the laundry room so it really wasn't a surprise to her to see the full figure itself. She wanted to play with it, though. And she smiled at it to finally see it out and not playing hide and seek with some hanging laundry!

Nectarines

This little baby girl loves her fruit and I'm so glad of it. I'm really not a fruit eater but know the importance of it in a person's diet. I made sure that my kids always had fruit available to them and I do the same with Sammy. This nectarine was really hard when I bought it so I was happy to find it finally ripe yesterday morning. After her oatmeal, this was in store for dessert. She loved it! We had juice dripping off her chin in between bites. She thought that it was so funny, too.

Go figure

Also, Sammy has inherited Mommy's love of pickles! Of course, Sammy eats pretty much everything in front of her. Or offered to her. Or put in her mouth. She's a great eater.

On the Fourth

Sammy loves watermelon now!

Chopsticks

Sammy's new toy

And a new phone

And this phone talks. It talks about saving baby penquins, baby sea lions and a puppy. I think Greenpeace makes this phone.

"Happy Fourth of July everyone, but I think this hat's too small for me......"

Have I mentioned this before?

So, I took Sammy shopping with me again today. Yes, again. I never learn. She was excited about some outfits I showed her. And then we went to the shoe department. Gah.

Pink!

I took Sammy grocery shopping with me yesterday. Mistake #1. My grocery list was forgotten and anything I bought was for Missy here. Mistake #2. First order of business I had was apparently buying a pink ball for her. She loves it. She loves to throw it to my little yorkie, Sadie.

Also, I forgot to mention the other day that Sammy's fifth tooth has popped through, with three others close behind.

Do you see what I see?

A curl!...maybe even two of them!
