Mommy's Thoughts

Driving with Daddy

Making Key Lime Pie with Mommy-yum!

Barbie Car from Uncle Chico

Savannah is just growing up too fast for us! I can not believe that our summer is more than halfway over! I am enjoying almost every moment of it, aside from the terrible two's meltdowns!

*Savannah weighs about 24 lbs now and is still a VERY picky eater. She's still a peanut!

*She really enjoys the pool, but doesn't go under.

*She's totally into Dora and has several Dora dolls as well as Barbies. I love to listen to her play & imitate me. "You have a boo-boo, Dora? Need some cream?" :) She thinks a little Cortizone cream is the cure for whatever ails her!

*She's mastered colors and most shapes (even octagon!) and knows her name starts with "S". We are working on learning letters and sounds and she **almost** knows her address!

*She went "to the ossice" (office) with Daddy on Sunday and had a blast!

*I always tell her to give me "a fat hug and kiss" so it was nice tonight to hear her say, "YOU give me a "s"at hug!!! She just hasn't got the hang of the f sound yet, but her vocabulary continues to amaze us everyday!

*Preschool (2 half days a week) begins right after Labor Day...I am sure I will cry, but I know she will LOVE it!

Summer Fun

Arrrg!

We have really been enjoying summer! I like going to the pool and swimming with Mommy and Daddy.They bought me a Dora for the water. We have also been swimming with Leigh, Hank and Caroline. Mommy took me to a new place called the library and they had soooo many books! I loved it! We are going back soon. I am really into pirates right now and I have a cool new pirate hat, eyepatch and telescope. I love to sing Scurvy Pirate and pretend to walk the plank! I am going to the beach next weekend in Virginia to visit my family. I am very excited!

Lots of love,

Savannah Jane

June 2008

June has been a VERY busy month and Mommy has not been blogging like she should! Daddy and Mommy both took beach trips and I got to spend quality time with each one. :) Mommy is out of school for the summer and I have her all to myself! YIPPPEEEE! In case you have not already seen it, I made my first music video to "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. I LOVE his music and have been driving M and D crazy listening to it. We have been hanging out at the pool, visiting friends, going to b-day parties, playing and visiting family. I will try and recap quickly. Lots of love and kisses-Savannah Jane

May has been so busy for us...trips to the park, Mother's Day, parties, and it is just going to continue when Mommy gets out of school! YIPPEEEEE!

Mommy's Turn...

Savannah said it was okay if I posted some CUTE things she is doing/saying. I will post some pics soon. We had a few tantrums this week and one EARLY morning (SJ decided to wake up at 3am Tuesday and did not go back to sleep...arg!), but tonight made up for ALL of it ten times over. Dwayne is out of town on business so it was just the two of us. We had a yummy dinner at Chick-Fil-A (with no whining) and then headed over to Target and again no whining. I guess she was really well rested! Savannah was a doll telling anyone who would listen about Tasha and that she had a haircut today and how pretty it was. She talks in sentences that amaze me sometimes. We were in Target for over an hour and just laughed and sang as we shopped. She HAD to listen to Sugarland (tracks 1 and 4 are her favs) and she is really starting to learn the words. It is so funny! So, I picked up some 100 calorie snack and she said, "That's Mommy's Weight Watchers." LOL-It took me a minute to understand what she was saying and I just started laughing. Once we got home she informed me that she was so precious and I agreed, of course. At home in my bathroom she got into some of my hair stuff and called it her makeup. LOL! She kept saying she needed to put her makeup on!! Before she goes to bed, I always tell her how lucky I am that she picked me to be her Mommy and last night she said, "I am just so precious!" Sometimes I could just eat her face off but D would not like that. The twos can definitely be a trying age but when she looks up at us and says, "I am so happy", all the stress just goes away. She just reaches up and grabs my heart all over again!

Too Funny

So, last night on t.v., this lady came on and Savannah Jane says, "Hey, it's Oprah!" I say, "That's not Oprah, but who likes Oprah?" "Mandi and Stacey like Oprah, Mommy!" replied SJ-TOO funny!

Oprah, Mommy!!

My Beach

I LOVE the beach!

Mommy had a headband and so did I.


Those chocolate covered strawberries were YUMMY!

Walking on the beach with Daddy

We took a trip to VA Beach recently and guess who didn't want to leave the beach...ME, ME, ME!!!! Can't wait to go back in June or July.
