Where’s Sammi B?

12 Jan 2012 1 Comment

Title: Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? Where’s Waldo? I wanted to go with either of these titles…. attention grabbing, yet dating myself for sure – not to mention…., by show of hands do you know these references? Both are a fond blast from my past – the 1st being one of my favorite memories of school during computer class – pop in that 5 1/2 inch floppy and on we went solving crimes – it was A-Ma-Zing! I digress. It seemed much more simple and to the point to title the lost blog……”Where’s Sammi B?”

After 6 months of sobbing, stomping, fist pounding (not a jersey shore style dance move), fetal position whimpering and deep ugly face crying – I am back to update the blog. The temper tantrum core is a result of a very unfortunate incident with my external hard drive; Gone, Dead, All Data Lost….. It was a horrific event to add to the “Lesson Learned” manila folder and move on……….. but is it fair to deny you the updates and pictures of Samamtha? Or as her father calls her, the 2 foot terrorist……..!

So many things have happened since the last post it is hard to fill you in on everything…. and I am sure you are not looking to read the detail that I could provide on poop painting, booger fishing nor thanksgiving road trip puking adventures that have been etched into my memories.

Without further delay I present you with recent, twice backed-up pictures of Samantha. She is a precious 2 year old (26 and a half month old) in - I say that as she is soundly sleeping in her crib!! She is full of spunk with a mind full of sass. Full sentences are making the scene nowadays, and it does take a degree in Samology to decipher some words and/or phrases. She has made up several words……. “Sha-Sha” is her Great Grandmother – By most of her great grandchildren she is known as GG-ma, not to Sam, she started calling her Sha-Sha and points out where she lives when we drive by. Of course, Sha-Sha has now morphed her own name into Sasha. Nonetheless they both have mad love for each other, and it is truly precious they are able to spend time together!! Sam’s other made up word also has controversy – her pacifier, which she calls – her “fa-fa” or “red-wing”, depending on the dire need and whininess saturating her tiny voice. Both Mike and I are hoping to call it “long gone” real soon…….. Her pickiness in eating habits aren’t learned from starving children and “treats” seems to be a fav item to ask for; always room for improvement. We continue with swim class and story time and are soon to add gymnastic tumble class to the agenda.

Keeping busy, messy and full of fun. We fool around and cuddle often. Sing one day away and dance the next into play. Enjoy the pictures, as I enjoy taking them!
