Random weekend happenings

I had such a nice weekend with Sam. Thursday was a holiday at work, and since I don’t work on Fridays or Mondays, I had a nice long 5 day weekend! Whoo hoo! The weekend was hectic of course, but it was fun. Saturday we had my birthday dinner with my parents. Here is a pic of Sam helping me blow out my candles. She was really into the cake so I hope she is as excited about her own in a few weeks!
And here she is helping me open my presents.
On Monday, Sam took a nap so early — she woke up at around 7:00 a.m. and was asleep by 8:00! She barely stayed up long enough to see Mark before he headed off to work. Since she was up by 9:00, we ran out to run some errands then went to Creative Babies at the library. I took her once when she was really small and she was asleep through most of it, but this time I think she really liked it. She crawled around and looked at all the other babies, and sort of paid attention to at least half of the songs. I really had fun with her there and am hoping I can take her back again soon.
After Creative Babies, we went to the playground and she played on the sliding board (with my assistance) and on the swing. We had such a great day. Having days like Monday makes me realize how important it is that I stay home with her like I do. If I was working all the time, I would miss being able to spend these days with her, and I just couldn’t bear it.
Other random things this weekend: Sam chowed down on broccoli (yay!), she managed to go backwards down a few stairs, and she is cruising a lot more than she ever did before. She has so much more confidence with standing and moving that I will be surprised if she is not walking soon (not that I am in a rush…)
I can’t wait for my week to be over so I can spend Friday with her having fun. Mark and I are going out on Saturday for our anniversary so Sam will be spending the night at my parents’ house — a night of freedom and sleeping in! We won’t know what to do with ourselves!
