A walker? Not quite, but ALMOST!

Samantha has been taking a couple steps at a time for a little while now... but never more than 3-4 at a time... She does stand all be herself for up to a minute at a time, before she realizes it and then falls down.

Dustin and I dropped her off at my parents house on April 14th so they could spend some time with her (and maybe we had something to do, I don't remember!) Anyways, I went to pick her up and my mom said "She walked" and i couldn't believe it. I told her... she has been doing that for a while... because she would lunge for you and kind of fall forward. But she said, no. She is walking. She was walking back and forth between my mom and dad all night. So I got all excited, sat down on the floor with my mom and tried to get her to show me. She wasn't being cooperative. So I made my dad come in and try with my mom. And sure enough, there she goes! like 3-5 steps at a time and so steady! I was amazed and instantly sent Dustin a text letting him know that we have a walker! So I took a few videos, and headed home. Since then, she is very picky on when she "walks" but she does stand on her own for a while. I couldn't believe that my baby was SOOO big. She is growing before my eyes and it's CRAZY!

Anyways, the posts are going to come pouring in for a little while, because I have so many things I want to update everyone on!

And since I'm lame...

This is my 5th post of the day.
BUT I wanted to share some pictures.
So here they are.

And yes... April 2010 and we are wearing Santa jammies.


My broccoli lover

What was that mom?

And last, but not least... this is how I found her sleeping one night when I checked on her before I went to bed...

New blogging goal

My new goal is not to post regularly, at least not quite yet. It's to make it look PRETTY! I figure, maybe once it LOOKS pretty, I will WANT and be MOTIVATED to keep updating it. So we shall see. It's going to take a while, since I have NO idea what I'm doing, but google is my friend, so we shall see what I can find!

blogging? my friend or enemy?

We shall see. Only time will tell.

Piggy Paint nail polish! How neat? Who woulda known? Surely not me?!

Anyways, I also adore her blog, and with time and practice hope to get into the same routine as her and Ann Marie (remember this link here

Well, I JUST found out how to do that fun linky thing, so woo hoo for me and woo hoo for google! haha. Google is my best friend most days :-)

oh jeez

So it's been a little while yet again, but here I am. Posting as promised. (way late though, so does it really count?)

Anyways, this past week we were ALL sick. No fun. Flu. Gross.
So Samantha has been pretty fussy lately off and on, but we all seem to be 100% now. Yay.

I was off work for a whole week, and although that sounds like oh so much fun, it's really not. Being sick kind of takes the fun out of it.

My new goal is to head out to garage sales this summer and also the goodwill store. I want to start finding some good bargains, like my pal Ann Marie. Found here . She is oh so talented!

Life with a wonderful, cranky baby

Last night, Samantha was sooo cranky. She wanted to play, but then again, she didn't. I think she was just sooo tired. We ended up cuddling on the couch. She had her paci and her blanky and I cuddled her and we got through 2 whole books. I love our cuddle time!
