Samantha Anne stars in “The Firm”

On Monday, November 9, I took Sam in to my office to visit with everyone. It was Sam’s first visit into the big city! My mom came with me, and we drove into Philly then pushed Sam the couple of blocks to my office in her stroller. As a side note, God help anyone with kids who lives downtown — the sidewalks are so horrible! Her stroller was bouncing all over the place. I should have brought the jogging stroller instead of her regular one — at least that one has shock absorbers and inflatable rubber tires!
Anyway, I had a lot of fun showing her off and I think Sam had fun too. She was actually really awake most of the time she was there and was all smiley and alert a lot of the time. Everyone admired her adorableness (of course!) and Sue even fed her for me. I think Sue had a blast, personally. Come on Sue, don’t you want another one ; )
My mom took a picture for me of Sam with me in my cube. When I tried to take another pic with Sam’s hands on my keyboard, boy did she start to yell! I guess having a job, or at least one in a law firm, is NOT something Samantha sees in her future.
The whole day totally wore her out. She slept in the car for the 45 minute ride home. When I got her back to my mom’s house at about 2:30, she ate, then promptly went back to sleep and slept until she ate again at 6:00, then went to bed until almost 2:00 this morning! I had a really good time with her, and it was so good seeing all my friends again, but I gotta say….I don’t miss work. Not when I can stay home with this cutie pie all day. I keep thinking January (and work) will be here before I know it….I try not to think about it too much.
On another note, at the end of the day, she was laying on me belly down and I was just talking to her. She is really good at lifting her head and turning it side to side — she has been for a while now. But she still can’t really push her body up at all if she is laying on her tummy. Last night for the first time I saw her lift her upper body up for just a few seconds on her arms! Very exciting moment for my girl : ) I keep laying her on her play mat on her belly so that she gets more practice. Pretty soon she’ll be holding herself up like a pro!
