Tell me you love this face...

Cheeese

Sitting on the couch, watching Pinocchio. Or as she would say, "Kinocchio".

She has been a lot better lately about smiling for the camera. If I get out the camera, she starts saying, "Cheeese..."

A Blue Extravaganza

Saturday, March 14th, my Mom hosted a wonderful baby shower for me at her house. We played some fun games, courtesy of my cousin Christi, had some yummy food and we got some great gifts. Here are the pictures from the day!

We were desperately trying to take a family picture, since we never take them, but Savannah was really not wanting to cooperate, despite that cute smile on her face.

Some of the guests.

It was like Christmas for Savannah! She got presents too!

My Aunt Ann and cousin Christi came out for the shower and for a quick visit. It was great to see them!

We received lots of great gifts from everyone. To name a few: a breast pump, the most adorable monkey bedding you will ever see, lots of adorable clothes, diapers, pacifiers, blankets, burp cloths, and more....

We had a great time and had a lot of fun! Thanks Mom!

Baby Love

Savannah really likes playing with her baby dolls lately. It's very cute to see her act out being a Mommy. It's hilarious how she says the same things to her babies, that I say to her. She'll put her baby to sleep, just to wake her 2 seconds later.

I LOVE DANCING WITH THE STARS!! AND WHAT A SHOCKER TONIGHT?!!!

Attack of the Prickly Things

I just opened my door and found this.....

I could not get out of my door, so I had to move these (up), to be able to see these....

It is soooo windy here right now. And of course the wind is blowing west, which is directly into my house. Lovely. These buggers are really loud when they hit your house too! This is going to be fun to clean up....later.

And of course Ms. Savannah had to see what was going on. I can't get this girl to give me one good picture lately. Good picture = looking at the camera and no cheesy smiles!

Savannah just did and said the cutest thing. She put her crayons in a Target bag. She then put her shoes on by herself. She stood up and said, " I have to take the crayons to Daddy's work. Target."

and now....she just said to me, after going and looking outside the window...

"We can't go outside." Mommy says, "Why?" "Because the sun is outside. " pauses for a second. "Come on Mommy, I have to show you the sun." "Come on Mommy, get up."

Ahhh....the things they say.

Things are coming along

I had to post these 2 cute pictures of Savannah walking around in my high heels. She walks really good in them too!

Daddy looks tired in this picture....

So we have a long list of things to do before little baby boy gets here, and we're working on them. A couple weeks ago we switched Savannah's room up. We took out the crib/changing table and put this full size bed in there. We have a frame for it, but we wanted to get her used to sleeping in a bigger bed and we didn't want to have to worry about her falling out of the bed. She has done remarkable with this transition. So far she's dealing with all the change very well. She goes to bed 90% of the time with no problem. Sometimes she wants to play or will be needy and want us, but she has adjusted really well. We've started saying prayers at night with her and she'll say her own little one too. It's so cute. She loves to take people up to her room and show them her "bed". She helps me make her bed and put her stuffed animals on it. We loved this quilt (which is actually a twin) and got it on sale at where else... but Target. I've been working on painting frames and have an idea for a wall collage that would spell out her name. I just need time to work on it and make sure that it looks good. I'm not sure how it will turn out just yet. To be continued...

Baby Boy's room is coming along too. All the furniture is ready to go and we're trying to nail down how we want to decorate the walls and stuff. The crib is full of junk though because for now, there's no where else to put it. haha. We have far too many clothes already, with a full closet and half full drawers. It's too fun buying clothes. We also moved our computer down to our main level. Otherwise, it was going to have to stay in the baby's room, and now that all the furniture is in there, their is no way we could have kept the computer and all the crap that goes along with it , in there. We got a new computer table that we really love and it fits perfectly just where we needed it to. It is sooo much more convenient. Although, out of nowhere Carter and I have developed an addiction to Solitaire on the computer. Carter's never really played it on the computer, but maybe once a year I'll get an itch to play and do it for a couple days. It's been more than a couple days now. We love to play this game! We fight over who gets to play at night! We really sound like total geeks.

I'm feeling pretty good these days. I have my days of hurting feet/legs/back and being tired, but it's not as bad as before. I definitely have a kicker/pusher in utero though. And lately I really think he's full on doing somersaults or something. My stomach really feels like it can't grow anymore. It's so tight and unfortunately I'm seeing the beginnings of those nice little purplish lines. I just don't want them to get bigger. I never got one stretch mark on my stomach with Savannah, just my thighs. I guess this one wants to stake claim on my tummy. I'm proud of myself though because I've only gained 11 lbs. so far. I think I'll be able to stay under the 20 lb. mark, which I mainly contribute to not being insanely swollen and retaining large amounts of water this time. Only six more weeks to go though, and that is crazy!
