A Woman's Work

Sami: "I'm tired...cuz I do EVERYTHING"
Me: "You do everything around here?!"
Sami: "YES, I do."

Thumb Sucker

Stella has discovered that she likes to suck her thumb, but she hasn't quite gained control of her hands yet. It's a little bit entertaining to watch her try, relentlessly, to get her thumb into her mouth. And I know this isn't a good habit, but I think it is SO CUTE!


On another note: Samantha just jumped in front of Stella and screamed at her. I asked Sami why she has to always harass Stella and her answer was "because she's my best friend".

"So you bug her because she's your best friend?"

"Yep!"

Dancing Queen

More like Dancing Diva. She thinks that serious dancers don't smile when they pose for pictures.

Sami started dancing for Just for Kix last week and she loves it! We aren't allowed to watch them practice, though, so I probably won't have action shots until she has a performance.

Big Day

I'll miss you today my sweet baby night owl.

2 Month Check Up AND SHOTS

Before shots
(she was smiling and cooing, but the nurse was getting the first needle ready so I plugged Stella immediately...thinking it would calm ME down).

After shots.
Stella now weighs 9 lbs 14 oz and is 21 3/4 inches long, which is a bit short for 2 months.

Miss Match

Last night we (Joe) didn't feel like cooking, so we (I) ordered pizza for supper and Sami and I went to pick it up. It wasn't until we got to Dominos when I realized Sami was wearing two different shoes. I asked her why she was wearing two different shoes and she had a very logical answer: "Because I put this one on but I couldn't find the other one, so I put my sparkly pink one on." Logical, if you don't take into account the fact that the matching shoe was right where it was supposed to be.

Lawn Mower Repairs

Joe went out to mow before supper tonight and the mower was inspired by the Indian and didn't start. So Sami helped Joe work on the mower and together they got it running again!

Sorry

I haven't posted anything in a while. Sorry. I have been meaning to update the blog in the past few days but I cannot, for the life of me, find my stinkin' USB cord for my camera. Sure, I have a dozen USB cords laying around the house, but of course, my little Samsung camera has a unique innie (technical term for I don't know what I'm talking about), so not just any USB cord will work. I have flipped my house upside down trying to find it, with no luck. Mom, I know what your thinking and all I have to say to that is: shhhh.

I do have pics from my other camera that I will post when I have a better attention span and perhaps more energy. Happy Labor Day.
