Tagged again

So Jeni got me this time. I don't know 10 people that I could tag to do this, so I'm just going to do it for you Jeni, Ok? Ok.

Here are ten things about me that people may or may not know about me:

10. I don't eat cheese. (Except on pizza or occassionally mac & cheese.) I'm just not big on dairy.

9. I can have a foul mouth.

8. I'm a scaredy cat. I hate being home alone, especially at night. I am always afraid that bad guys are in the house.

7. I used to be really shy, and still am sometimes. ( Carter dosen't believe this one.)

6. I was the biggest N'sync fanatic- EVER!! ( Now, everyone should know this, come on!) I still break them out every now and then. God Must Have Spent a Little More Time...On You.

5. I love gossip magazines, but only the reliable ones.

4. I used to bit my nails, until one day I just thought it was so gross and stopped.

3. I still dream about being a dancer for someone like Justin Timberlake. I watch his most recent HBO concert and I get so jealous and wish I was those girls. Hey, I'd take being on Dancing with the Stars in a heartbeat. Too bad you have to be a "Star".

2. If I could go back right now and choose an age when I thought my body was the best, I'd have to say 18. Right around Prom and Graduation. I don't think I'll ever get back there so I think I could settle for 22, right before getting married.

1. I totally think about what I want to name my future children all the time.

More teeth

We believe that Savannah is getting at least two more teeth in on the bottom. She's been messing with her mouth the last couple days and today she woke up from her nap ( a short one!) crying and when I went into her room she was just sitting there crying and rubbing her mouth. Poor thing. She was real fussy so I decided to go take her on a walk since it was really nice today and try to get the teething off her mind. It seemed to work. She didn't make a peep for most of the time.
She is now starting to say Daddy and Mommy rather than Mama or Dada, which is so cute. She is really sensitive these days. She doesn't like when you say no and will pucker up that bottom lip and pout for a minute or she'll run to whichever one of us didn't just tell her no. Last week she started say "Ca ca" and we were like, "Where did she learn that word?" We couldn't figure out what she was trying to say, so Carter would say "Cookie?" (She thinks crackers are cookies.) She would nod, so we figured that was it. So the last couple days she's been working on it and she'll say, "Cakkie" most of the time, but she has said "Cookie" a few times. It's so cute to hear her trying to say new words or sounds. We'll ask her if she wants something, and immediately after Carter will say, "Say Yeah", and she says "Yeah". It's so cute. She's sleeping great still, but wakes up around 6 a.m. and I'm lucky if I can get her to sleep with me for a little longer. She is eating lots lately too, so we're hoping she'll put some weight on.

Bathtime

Splish splash, I was taking a bath!!

We don't have many pictures of Savannah in the bathtub, so the other day I wanted to get some. She likes taking baths, but lately she showers with me, because how else will Mommy shower when theirs no one to watch Savannah? I set her in the tub and she plays with her toys while I shower.

Ready for Hawaii

Pigtails!!

So, these pictures were actually taken about a week and a half ago, but I'm just now getting to post them. I was so excited to be able to do pigtails in Savannah's hair, only problem is, she takes them out! The first few days she was fine, and now if I put them in (or one on top of her head), she pulls it out, especially when we're in the car and I can't see her doing it. She also likes to take her shoes off in the car too!

We have to put a barette in front cause that hair won't actually fit in the pigtails yet.

A TAG about my man!!

Melissa Tagged me with this a couple weeks ago and I'm just now getting to it so here goes:

What is his name? Carter Thomas Cherry
How long have you been married? 2 years & 6 months
How long did you date? 1 year before we were engaged and then 5 more months til we got married
How old is he? 35....
Who eats more? Depends on the day. I tend to eat a lot faster than him, but he probably eats more.
Who said I love you first? Him
Who is taller? ....I'm a midget
Who sings better? neither of us.
Who is smarter? Carter, he knows so much stuff and lots of trivia. I'd say I'm better with numbers and finances and he has a better memory, like quoting multiple lines from a movie he just saw.
Who's temper is worse? Yikes.....when it comes to work, Carter can definitely get heated real quick, but I'm more of the stewing kind and then I boil over.
Who does the laundry? We both do.
Who does the dishes? We both do, but Carter does them more.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me
Who pays the bills? Me
Who mows the law? Our HOA, who stink
Who cooks dinner? Mostly me
Who drives when you're together? Mostly Carter
Who is more stubborn? I think we both can be pretty stubborn sometimes.
Who is the first to admit when wrong? Well, if it's something easy to admit to, then we're both good about it. If it's something bigger, I'd say Carter, which probably makes me more stubborn.
Who's parents do you see more often? Mine
Who proposed? Not me.
Who has more friends? Carter. Whenever we were dating, I swear, wherever we'd go, he'd see someone he knew. Not that they were necessarily best friends, but he knows and is friends with lots of people. I used to make fun of him for having more than one "best friend", cause how can you have more than 1 "best"? I'm more of a halfway closed door and like the friends I have. Although, pretty much all my friends live out of state and I never see them, I'm not the easiest to get to know.
Who has more siblings? Carter-7 , Rashel- 3
Who wears the pants in the family? Well......I'd say me, BUT, Carter and I are great communicators and talk about everything and make decisions together, SO....we probably share them. (Carter- Which makes it hard since one is tall & the other is a midget.)

I tag Jeni.

Crawling contest

Today I was at Walmart doing some shopping and I was over in the baby department and all the sudden this employee comes up and asks if Savannah wants to be in a crawling contest and win a $50 Huggies gift card. I told her that I didn't think she'd actually crawl, because she walks, but thought, what the heck? maybe she would. Their were like 6 kids that we're younger than her and not walking who also entered. So they start and I set Savannah down to start the "race" and then I go to the "finish line". (it was all of maybe 10 feet.) So they say "GO!", and none of the babies move. Their just staring at everyone else and ignoring the cheers to MOVE. Finally a little baby started crawling toward her mom and then another, but my dear Savannah just sat there. Didn't move a bit. I could tell she was wondering what the heck was going on and she was probably terribly amused. She wouldn't come to me for nothing. Not my beloved phone, or her sippy cup or the keys. After she didn't move for a couple minutes and someone else already won, I just picked her up and walked away. I was really hoping she'd win and we could get a sweet gift card. I guess that's what I get for trying to make her be "little" again and crawl.

More cupcake mania

After the whole cupcake freakout, she had cupcakes for a few days till they ran out, but this was one of those days. She really dug into it and made a big mess.

We have the internet!!

YAY!! Today we got the internet and I am so excited. Now I can blog whenever I want to. It's been driving me insane that I'll think of something I want to look up and I can't just go look it up online, so now I can. Yippee!! So, hopefully I'll be updating very soon with pictures.
Savannah is forming more words lately. She says, "One, Two, Three...WEEEE", which came from Carter playing with her and lifting her up in the air and she just picked it up. It is really funny cause when she wants to play she'll come up and say it. I'll write more soon.

Cupcake Freakout

Yesterday I decided to make some cupcakes. Savannah has never really had a cupcake, but when I pulled these out yesterday, she must have smelled them because right away she was saying "Numma Numma". I told her no because they were too hot, but once they cooled down I gave her one. She bugged me for awhile to give her more but I wouldn't. When Daddy got home though, he was excited to have cupcakes and Savannah was all about getting him to give her one. So Daddy leaned her down over them and she just opened her mouth and was ready to go. Eventually, she just snatched one off the rack and starting eating it. So at this point she had had two cupcakes, and wanted MORE! She started freaking out!! I wanted to start frosting them and she wouldn't leave me alone. She was screaming and crying so I had to take pictures of that too. Eventually after dinner I was feeling nice and gave her another one (with frosting). I'm sure they'll be gone by today though and she won't have a chance at anymore.
She is feeling better now, thank goodness. She still has a cough and a little runny nose but at least her stomach is feeling better and she's not sleeping all day long.



Sweets for my little cupcake.
Can I fit this whole thing in my mouth?

Give me more CUPCAKES!!

The culprits!
This cat has been lingering around for a long time now but it was being really friendly yesterday and Savannah was loving it.
This is Today!!

Her hair is getting longer and starting to curl at the ends, but slightly.
When Mommy says Smile, this is what I do!

Two things I forgot to mention yesterday:
Savannah now says NO.
And I got tagged, and I'll get that done when I get a chance and have lots of time.

A first

Wow, it's already February. Before we know it I will be 25!!!! AHHH. Well, Savannah is sick with a stomach virus. Poor thing is miserable and so lethargic. On Sunday morning (1:30 am) I went in to check on Savannah and once I opened her door, I was enveloped with this disgusting smell. I thought it would be weird if she'd pooped in her sleep so I wasn't sure what it was. Savannah seemed fine, but something told me to feel around on her bed, so I did. I felt something. I couldn't see anything though. Well, it was throw up. She has never thrown up and we didn't hear her. So, I didn't know what to do. Wake up my sound sleeping baby and bathe and change her sheets or just let her sleep. So I went in and woke Carter and asked him what I should do. He said that we should wake her and bathe her. So we, yes "WE" walked back in there and woke her. Carter was very sweet to help me for almost the next hour because their would have been no way for me to do it on my own without waking him anyway. So, her room smelled SOOOO bad and so did she. Carter can't stand the thought of vomit so I know that he was trying not to vomit himself. Thank goodness he didn't. So I undressed her (and she had pooped, weird) and bathed her and Carter stripped her sheets and wiped down her mattress with anti-bacterial wipes and aired out her room. So some of the vomit got in Savannah's hair (because she had spread it all over the bed) and I thought I'd be good just rinsing it out of her hair. So I get her out of the bath and take her into her room to put clothes on and smell something. Yeah, rinsing wasn't enough. So I take her back into the tub and wash her hair. By the time she was dressed and ready to go back to bed her room smelled like disinfectant from all the stuff Carter used. Anyway, we thought maybe she just ate something that didn't agree with her and that she'd be fine, but all Sunday she had really gross doo doo and then started to get a little warm and have this redness to her forehead. Not a rash, almost like a tan or sunburn a little. It was weird. Monday she woke up and was so lethargic it was scaring me. She drank some milk at breakfast but wouldn't eat anything. She took like 5 naps throughout the day and was a human blanket on me all day. I called the doctor and they said she probably has a stomach virus and to: not give her any dairy, solid foods or juice. So what she can have is very limited: (and she dosen't even want much of that), water, applesauce, bananas, starches and carbs and laqtaid milk (?). We haven't given her any of that yet, we're trying to see if it will just pass. She definitely isn't eating or drinking much though and I don't want her getting dehydrated so we've got to figure something out. We hope she feels better soon. On another note, I'm over the snow. It needs to stop and be warm again.
