So I have quite a few thoughts on my mind…I’ll probably be posting for a few days=) But let’s get started!.jpg)
First the kiddos because that’s all anyone really wants to hear about, right? Savannah is as active and talkative as ever!!! She’s really hit her stride, and I do believe she might actually think she’s an adult already! The things she says are hilarious and so mature for her age. It’s actually the WAY she says things that are particularly funny. It really is like she’s an adult in a child’s body—like the way she holds her hands up to either side and cocks her head when she says, “But mommy, I’s jus getting some juice.” Or the way she says so cautiously, “Watch your step now.”—with her voice rising slightly at the end. I love it! I love everything about her. She’s grown up too fast, yet there’s not a moment gone by that I would trade for anything..jpg)
Weston, well Weston has become a little ball of activity. In all his frustration, he finally figured out how to start crawling, and hasn’t stopped yet! I fully expect him to be pulling up very soon onto things, then I’m sure cruising the couch won’t be far behind. The down side is he’s a silent creeper. Unlike Savannah, he never makes a peep, so I’ll be busy doing something, then look around and he’s gone! This has been to my detriment as he’s already fallen off his changing table and tumbled down our stairs. Both of these were HUGE fears of mine with Savannah, so I thank God every day that children are so resilient and so far, Weston in particular, can take a pretty good lickin’ and keep on kickin’. I’m pretty sure I cried longer after his tumble down the stairs than he did..JPG)
He has the best smile!!! It just lights up his entire face. And now, he is definitely hooked on solid foods. I hate this stage because it makes such a mess and there’s only so many foods you can cook that they can actually manage to eat on their own, but he’s so happy to do it! We’re working on drinking from a cup, but in the meantime, he has finally started to hold a small (4oz.) bottle on his own. The bigger 8oz. is still a challenge, but it’s fun to watch him try as he buries his face in the nipple and tries to drink it like a straw, unable to actually lift it up=)
After four months of ear infections that never healed, we finally decided to have the tubes put in his ears. The amount of snot that followed flowing out of his head for five days was enough to convince us we had made the right decision. I’ve never seen anything like it! No wonder his pour little ears could never heal!
So now with summer in full swing, I look forward to posting pictures of summer fun to come. Stay busy and on the go…that’s my motto with this crew. Hanging around the house just ends up being disastrous for all parties involved, especially when Savannah gets bored…nobody wants to deal with that! So far we’ve be to Centennial Olympic Park to play in the water fountain, we head to White Oak Park for playdates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays we head to Aunt Debbie’s pool, and I’m hoping to add a visit to my friend Bekah’s pool in there somewhere every other week, and we have White Water season passes, so that should be fun!
Weston has actually already had his first pool day, and I have no pictures to share=( Bad mommy! But who can take pictures when you’re trying to keep one from falling out of a float and the other from clinging to you like a dying animal? Biggest kid prayer request: That Savannah relearns how to like the water again. This I’m-scared-of-everything phase is for the birds=).JPG)
(Love, love, love! This picture=) These first two great pics compliments of my good friend and employer, Dezirae, with Sugar Snap Photography!)

Our conversation right before bed last night went something like this: "Savannah get your paci and pick out a book, it's time for bed." "Uhhhg (this is the slight grunting/groan sound some of us make when we are having to do something we don't want to do), come on Mommy. Seriously? (Hands held out to either side of her face and head cocked.) Come on, Mommy." I really shouldn't laugh in her face when she does this, but it's such a mirror of my own comments and inflection that I usually can't help myself=).JPG)
