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.
