A Big Weekend

What a wonderful weekend we had!! Big Guy and Grammy came and spent a long weekend with us. They got to witness first hand her latest trick ... walking!! Our sweet girl took her first steps on the 4th, and she hasn't slowed down since. In other news, she has also started giving out kisses, identifying (and saying) eyes, and saying the word "no"!

On Friday, we went back to Gatlinburg and to the AQUARIUM!!! Samantha did not disappoint. She loves her some fish. And, call me crazy, but I think the fish like her, too! We also had a nice lunch at Calhouns, where she ate her first big girl grilled cheese. If all that wasn't great, Grammy couldn't resist taking her to the Christmas Place on the way out of town.

On Saturday, we did a whole bunch of nothing! We got out a did a little bit of shopping, but nothing major. Samantha put on a show in the baby pool Big Guy and Grammy got her for her birthday. Give her some water and a few bubbles, and she's a happy girl!

We can't wait to do it again!

A really big rocking chair ... vintage Gatlinburg.

When she saw the big blowers, I think she knew where she was!
