Wow...what a weekend!

So, Saturday, 10/6 was my baby girl's first birthday! I can't believe a whole year has gone by! We had some friends over for cupcakes and Sami really loved her French Vanilla cupcake with Chocolate Fudge frosting! It was a fun day for all...until later on.

Our little princess is a sneaky one. She's quick, and quiet and it almost got her hurt. She was down on the floor in the living room, scooting around. Daddy didn't realize she was down there, and he set his hot coffee on the end table. Within about 10 seconds, she had upturned the cup and covered herself in coffee! Luckily, we scooped her up and got her to the bathroon sink quickly. We stripped her little dress off and started splashing cold water on her chest to stop the burning process. She was bright red from shoulders to diaper! Daddy grabbed the Bactine and I sprayed it on and rubbed it in several times. We then put a new diaper on her, but left her clothes off so I could keep an eye on it in case it blistered. Well, by bed time there was only a little redness left and by Sunday morning, it was totally gone. Thank God!!

Monday she had her one year check up. She's a healthy little Monkey! But she did get 3 shots and some blood drawn. That evening, she managed to get one of the little bandaids off her leg and into her mouth. She started choking in her carseat, but luckily Daddy thought fast, pulled off the road and got her out and her throat clear very quickly.

Tuesday, while crawling around the living room, she looked up at me with a big old hairball hanging out of her mouth (rolled up on the carpet by the vacuum...instead of being picked up) and a HUGE piece of glass in her hands!!! Apparently, when she kicked my glass off the table over the weekend and Daddy cleaned up, he missed a 3-inch piece of glass just under the sofa. Guess who found it without even trying!? Is there anything this child misses??

Needless to say, after this 3-day weekend I have a whole new crop of gray hairs!!!

Thank God she is my last baby! Between her and her almost 7-year-old brother, they keep me hopping! They look so much alike you'd think we cloned him to get her! :)
