Samson and Mama got to spend some time with the rest of the Central Texas Waltons on Sunday. Uncle Loyd, "Aunt Jane, and cousins Janice (pictured) and Amanda were great hosts and Samson put each of them to work as his personal bounce machines. He especially liked rolling around on the Pergo floor, which allowed much more safe freedom of movement than he gets at home on our concrete and stone floors.Monday evening, Samson started showing signs of a cold, including a terrible runny nose which he refused to let be cleaned. Mama had to accept that all her shirts will now have a snot trail in addition to the regurgitated milk and food puree already in effect.
As his did with his first cold back in December, Samson recovered rather quickly, getting just about back to normal within 3 days. Unfortunately, the virus hit Daddy like a Mack truck, and he (who never gets sick) was out of commission for 24 hours, even missing work (which he never does, at least not for illness). Somehow, Mama has managed to dodge this bullet so far....
Hey, Baby. Come 'ere and let me show you my four teeth!"
Tomorrow is Friday, and if it's like most Fridays, that means Tex-Mex with the Turners! Daddy and Mama get to enjoy ritas with Samantha's parents while the babies enjoy neon lights and hustling action at the chip station.

SO SO jealous of Tex Mex night! I want to hang out with the Turners and Walton-Buras's too! (Although Annabelle would never stay still long enough for mamma to actually enjoy my meal)
We wish you were here, too!!!!!
We're usually able to squeeze about 1 to 1.5 hours out of the babies. Samantha often naps part of the time in her carseat and we keep Samson busy with pureed dinner, then toys, then finger foods, then being passed around to different laps. At the same time, we're all trying to scarf bites of our meals, which rarely get finished. It's a workout, but somehow, a grown-up conversation happens in between, and that is my favorite part of the evening.
Samson really likes his Hippo Chair that attaches to the dinner table and bounces a little bit, but I suppose as he becomes a walker, he'll be less content to be confined there.
yes, take advantage of eating out before Samson becomes mobile. I wish Eric and I had gone out to eat more often. He is now in the testing out my different ranges of loudness!
