Happy Sammie

Sammie had a great day today! She was SO happy when Craig picked her up at daycare. This is Sammie in the car after daycare, they did her hair all special!

She mastered the pincher grasp today & she was feeding herself puffs from the tray of her highchair after dinner tonight! It was so much fun to watch her, and she seemed so proud everytime she got a puff in her mouth.













Tomorrow she has a very special day planned with BOTH of her Grandma's!















Morning with Mommy

This morning Sammie helped mama put away the dishes from the dishwasher. She was very excited about helping out!







Afterward she made her way over to the kitchen table & had some fun with the ties on the chairpad. She loves strings & ribbons.








We had a fun morning together!

Samantha's mini-vacation at Grandma & Grandpa's

Sammie spent her first "mini-vacation" away from Mommy & Daddy and went to stay with Grandma Teri & Grandpa Bob for 2 whole days! Mommy & Daddy missed her very much, but she had lots of fun.

Grandma Teri came to our house to pick Sammie up on Thursday morning. Here is Sammie all snug in her carseat for the journey "over the river & through the woods" haha!

For such a little Sammie, there sure is a lot of stuff involved! Grandma's trunk was packed!


So much to unpack when they got to Mystic...


Sammie immediately got to work playing! She loves snacking on ribbons.


She spent lots of time in her jumper, she loves to jump! Mommy got her some cute new shoes at Target & she loves them!








Sammie is getting better at standing every day! She likes to hold onto things & stand like a big girl.





Sitting up reaching out to Grandma, Sammie says "Up"!


Auntie Kim came over for a visit & they played outside.


Grandma found a little lego horse that used to be Nick's, Sammie liked playing with it.


Playtime on the floor! Sammie loves to rollover & play with all her toys.


She even helped Grandma hang out the laundry!


Sammie, Grandma & Grandpa all had a wonderful visit! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for letting me come stay with you :)

Sammie's Sunday

Today Sammie went to visit with her Grandparents and Great Grandma in Guilford. She had a fabulous day! Great Grandma Toni played with her, fed her a bottle & brought her a giant stuffed Lamb that she LOVES!
Grandma Sue loves holding Sammie and playing with her, Sammie loves her grandma too!

When we got home we spent some time outside on the deck, exploring nature and enjoying the breeze.
Sammie discovered the bamboo and enjoying touching it, she likes investigating new things.








Sammie had a wonderful day, and we did too!

Grandma & Sammie's fun rainy day

Hi Everybody! Love, Sammie
What a rainy Wednesday. Grandma Teri came for her weekly Grandma/Sammie day today. The marsh in our backyard is starting to display some spring colors and the redwing blackbirds have returned to build their nests again this year. The peepers can be heard at night singing in the pond, spring is definitely in the air!


Sammie loves to explore all the fun toys on her exersaucer. She is starting to try small bits of table foods, eventhough she doesn't have teeth yet, she loves her mango peach puffs, strawberries, banana & today she tried peas! Grandma Teri said she likes to munch on them and talk to them :)

my beautiful girl...
