We're off!

We're off to Hawaii tomorrow but I wanted to post these pictures from Sunday before we left. After church I let Savannah play out front for a few minutes and snapped a few pictures.

This is her "determined" walk.


So Savannah is not supposed to get up on the couch, especially by herself, but lately she has been pushing us on this one. She was so proud of herself that she got up into our little chair!

T's

Savannah is currently working on saying her T's really good. She's walking around just saying the "T" sound. And she exaggerates all her T words like: H O TTTTT, CUTTTE, NIGHTTT NIGHTTT. It's pretty funny.

We're getting very excited to go on vacation this Thursday and to see family too!

Mother's Day

Mommy & Savannah.
Is it just us or does this picture make Savannah look so tall? She was running around yesterday and just looked so big.
Running with Daddy.

We went over to my parents house for Mother's day and had a little barbecue. Unfortunately, the weather was yucky, so we couldn't eat outside, but we had ribs and they were yummy. We just hung out and then later went outside and Savannah ran around.
On Saturday morning, Carter took me out to breakfast and then I got to pick out some flowers at Costco for myself. I got these gorgeous white tulips, but when they open up they have light pink inside. I was going to post a picture but forgot. It was a great weekend! I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's day too!

Garden Day

We've been helping my family with yard work lately, so on Saturday I was able to get some cute pictures of Savannah outside. She was playing in dirt and trying to eat it! She didn't like that so much. She really enjoys being outside!

She really wanted to help pull weeds!

Mommy Daughter Day

Posing with her ducky.
Visiting with Dodger at my families place. We're feeding him and watering plants while they're out of town. By the way, she says Dodger so good now.
Then I decided to take her down to the lake by there house because she wanted to "walk". It was really nice yesterday and I even got a little bit of color in the 20 minutes that we were there.

When we're outside I can't get this girl to look at me for anything. She is way to preoccupied with running away from me and exploring.

Then I decided to take her to McDonald's for an ice cream (which we didn't end up getting because by the time we finished our food, the line was way long to get an ice cream. No worries, she got some yummies from Daddy later.)
Here, have a french fry Mom!
This one is the best of the day!! She absolutely LOVES the chocolate milk at McDonald's that she gets in a happy meal. I have to hold off to give it to her because once she starts drinking it, she doesn't want anything else. This face is just hilarious though.

These are the flowers that my hubby brought home the other day for ME!! Calla Lily's and Gerber daisies!!
Savannah with her "friends" on the couch. Carter says that when he brings her down in the morning he'll sit her with her "friends" and she'll eat breakfast. She has been becoming a lot more friendly with her stuffed animals lately. It's cute.

Yesterday I definitely had a top 10 moment with Savannah. Friday is my day to work at Borders, so the mornings can be kind of hectic getting myself and Savannah ready and making lunches for all 3 of us. Then I have to make sure I don't forget anything and take Savannah down to my Mom. Lately, I just can't get to work on time! At least 10-15 minutes late! So annoying.
Anyway, so here's my adorable daughter story...

Every morning Savannah pretty much has a cup of milk with Ovaltine in it (to TRY to bulk her up) and some cereal. Some days she'll sit in her highchair, but a lot of the time, we lay down a blanket in the family room and she'll sit there and eat. Yesterday she sat in her high chair though so that I could get my breakfast eaten and make lunches. So she's drinking her milk and eating her cereal and all the sudden she lifts her sippy cup up and says "More". She does this every morning. She loves her Ovaltine milk. (In fact this morning I didn't put Ovaltine in her milk, and she totally dissed it. Ovaltine snob!!) So I go over to get her cup and she says, "Thank You". I was so shocked, but she absolutely melted my heart! I was like, "Did you just say thank you?" She has never done that unprompted, and even when we try to prompt her she doesn't say it that well. This was so clear and she was using MANNERS! I can't even tell you how sweet of a moment it was. I got her more milk and when I went to give it back to her asked her, "What do you say?" She just started at me. I said "Thank you?". She goes "Thank you". So sweet.
At work people were asking me about my daughter and of course I had to tell them that story. Then last night Carter was changing her diaper and getting her ready for bed and all the sudden she says "Thank you". I was just like, Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? Once she saw that we were ohhhh and ahhhh-ing over her, she kept saying it. Anyway, I seriously thought to myself, this has got to be one of my top 10 moments with her since she's been born. Not that I could name 10 right this second, but I don't know that it would be top 5, but definitely top 10.

Right now though, my sweet daughter is pulling out and disrupting ALL OF MY ORGANIZED PICTURES!!
