Memorial Weekend Playdate

This morning Sammie got up excited for her playdate with Ethan & Emma. This is Sammie happily enjoying her morning bottle.
It was so hot out, all three kids got to enjoy some time in the pool - they splashed & played and had a great time together!

Sammie discovers corn on the cob

Sunday Sammie had her first experience with corn on the cob. She talked to it, gummed it, dropped it, banged it on her highchair & all around had a good time.

Overnight at Grandma Teri's & Grandpa Bob's

Sammie took a field trip to Mystic on Friday. She had some pasta & sauce for the first time. She loved them!

Wheel Barrow Fun! Sammie discovered dirt & she didn't even try to eat it! Way to go Sammie!!

After a nice overnight in Mystic Sammie headed over to Guilford to see her other Grandparents. She was a very busy girl this weekend.

This week's Grandma & Sammie Day

Grandma Teri came to spend the day with Sammie on Wednesday. Sammie wasn't feeling so well, and had to go see Dr. Matt in the morning, but you wouldn't know by these pictures! They played in the living room on the couch, and Grandma made a special hat for Sammie!

MMM... delicious!

Happy girl

Practicing her standing

Sammie has recently discovered the cabinets & loves to open them, then let them go and watch them close, she does this over & over again!

First Mother's Day

Sunday was my first Mother's day. Craig & Sammie worked very hard to make it special! I got breakfast in bed, cards, chocolates & a great day with both of them. It couldn't have been better. Our parents came along for Sammie's first picnic! We went to Hubbard Park in Meriden and the weather couldn't have been better. Sammie loves being outside!
