Once again Sam has the sniffles. I say once again, but honestly, she has been sick so few times in her life, that I really shouldn’t say it like Sam being sick is a regular occurence. But at any rate, she has a bit of a cold, and she is just so pooky because she is sick. She is very huggy and cuddly and needy, which she is allowed to be under the circumstances. Hopefully she will feel better soon. She is already much happier than she was yesterday, so that’s something. I feel like I am getting sick now though, and I don’t kick colds as fast as Sam does, so I think I am in for a long week. My mom said we will probably all wind up sick and she is unfortunately most likely right.
Anyway, I had some random photos that I have been wanting to post, so here they are!
As for the first one, by way of background, Sam loves to play in our pantry. Since there is nothing in there that could hurt her, or that she could hurt, we let her do it all the time. She loves pulling everything out and scattering assorted food items all over the floor. Recently she discovered that she can reach higher shelves. Out came the cans! She also loves stacking blocks and other things now, but since no blocks were around, cans apparently were an acceptable substitute. I was throwing dinner together and not paying attention to Sam since she was safely out of the way playing in the pantry, and a minute later I turned around and she had assembled this very high leaning tower of cans. She was very proud of herself and it appears looking for more cans to stack.
One of her other favorite pastimes lately is mimicking our actions. She will brush her hair if you give her a brush or comb, she tries to feed us with her spoons, and now she has discovered that she can try on my shoes. Watching her try to put her feet into them is priceless. The whole time she is maneuvering her feet she is giggling like crazy. I can’t wait until she is a little bigger and we can really play dress-up. I am planning on putting together a whole dress up kit for her with hats, scarves, shoes, and anything else I can find that I think she would enjoy. Look at those tiny little feet in my shoes!
Mark took this picture of us recently. As you probably saw in older posts, I love having matching pajamas with Sam. It is something I am going to try to do even as she gets bigger. We have had matching pjs before, but only to the extent that they had the same pattern. This is the first pair Sam has had that really look like tiny replicas of Mommy’s.
My little one is sleeping now, thankfully, since she hasn’t been sleeping or eating well with this cold. Tomorrow I am not working, which is great, so maybe we can both get some rest. With more snow coming (again!), we certainly won’t be going out. How nice it would be to cuddle up with my little girl in warm fleece pajamas under a blanket…..Sam won’t go for it, I am sure, but I can dream. 🙂
