Savannah







I am going to create one post about each of my kids. They are all so fun right now there is so much to tell you about them. Savannah is talking up a storm. She can tell us most, but can repeat all. The repeating thing is so much fun. We know what she is saying, but she makes up her own way of saying some words. First she calls herself "anna" and a banana is "anna" and her friend is "anna." Sometimes I can not figure out what she is referring to, but in due time I get it and she is so proud of me when I do. We are having fun with Uncle Chris which to her is "Uncle Titty!" And today she said "Uncle Har-Nerd" for Uncle Harland. We are trying desperately to get this on film. I will post when I get it good.

She has started to really sing. One day I was just hanging out and she pushed me to the side so I would look at her and she started to sing A-B-C-D. I was floored. Since then she is now singing Happy Birthday (we have been to a lot of birthdays in the past few weeks.) She knows who's birthday is next and she is practicing for the next party. We have 5 parties in the next 2 weeks, so she will be doing a ton of singing.

The poor kid just wants to go play outside. It is just not warm enough yet, and she knows this. She does not care... she brought me her snowsuit and gloves on the last 55 degree day and asked me to put it on. I did and then with no shoes/socks I let her go out on the deck with her shovel. She was so happy to just be outside. Now everyday she brings be her winter coat, gloves, and hat and asks to go outside. Today I let her go out with out a coat and she was very upset and confused. Summer should be fun. You will see my kid getting ready to go play in the 80 degree heat with her snow clothes.
We are working hard on trying to figure out what is the best way to get around with Savannah. We currently use the sit and stand stroller. She is in the back, but has begun to climb out! UGg... the biggest problem is that she will not hold my hand. So I started to use the "leash." I hate that word, but what else do I call it... harness? That is going ok?? But I did witness Savannah doing the ... fall to the floor when you grab her hand ... act with my mom. It was nice to see her act that way with others too and not just me.

And one last story... (PLEASE PRAY FOR ME) she climber out of her crib today. This is making me a little scared and not ready for the next stage of her life. I am crossing my fingers this was a one time thing (prob not) but I can pretend for now cant I. I don't know whether to buy a crib tent or a toddler bed. This is going to be disastrous no matter what I do. For now... we are going to ignore it happened! And cross every bone in my body that is never happens again!

Some things she loves: Madison, bike helmets, outside, cheetos and doritos (I want to kill Jeff for showing her these foods), the ride on Tractor, baby dolls (she is an awesome mommy!), and Tyler!

Tylers Baptism




On Sunday March 1st, Tyler was finally baptised. I say FINALLY because I kept putting it off for the first 6 months of his life because something was always going on. The birth of my niece, thanksgiving, Christmas, and much more. I finally planned the baptism and then we came down with a stomach bug. I had to cancel the whole thing and do it the next week. If I did not do it March 1st, I would not have been able to do it until April. Unfortunately by the next week, half of my family was sick. It was not a pretty few weeks around here. Special thanks to Amy for taking some pics for us that day.
