Savannah...crawling

Savannah has been rocking on all fours for a while, maybe 2-3 weeks. A week ago she started to lunge forward. Yesterday she started to move both legs one at a time. She just doesn't seem comfortable moving the arms yet. I was just watching her and she looked like she was going to give it a try. So we shall see, but I think it's coming soon, real soon.

Watch now that I posted that she will stop all together.

Owl update

I tried to comment on my post but it wouldn't show so I thought I would respond to Tom this way.

The wall between the garage and laundry room has a gap that is filled with insulation. That probably should be replaced because there is some missing. The night before we forgot to close the garage door and shut it in the morning when we realized it. So we think it got trapped inside the garage and started to stir when it got dark out and found a spot to get through the insulation.

Once we knew it wasn't a bat Rob came out from under the covers. He then went into the garage and opened the front door from the outside so the Owl could fly out that way. He was perched on our coat rack right by the door so we couldn't open it from the inside.

So our grow a frog is alive and thriving well. Not that I helped matters any.

The directions said when the arms are fully out to stop feeding him, he will get his nutrients from his tail. I didn't know that his legs came first. So it was a little bit after his legs were fully out that I realized he now had "arms" (higher than his legs) growing. I felt pretty bad that I had not let Austin feed him. They make are really big deal about not over feeding him in the book.

We started to feed him right away. At first one arm was stuck to his body. When we called the help line they said change his water more frequently and keep feeding him and he will be alright. Now we have a recovered healthy soon to be frog.

funny stories

I have 2 funny stories that happened yesterday.

The first one: I have been taking the kids out to the hot tub lately (temp is turned down for them). When it is time to get out, Austin gets himself out and I bring Savannah in and lay her on foam mats that we have in the living room and go back out to clean up and put the lid back on. The kids get in without anything on because its cold when you get out with wet cloths on. When I was done yesterday I thought it would be ok to go to the bathroom and then put a diaper on Savannah but that was not the case. When I came back in the room she had pooped but that wasn't it...she was rolling in it!!! Thank goodness it was not anywhere near her face!! From now on I will put a diaper on her before I do anything else.

Number 2:

Last night I was going downstairs for bed Rob was already in bed so the lights were out. I wanted to put a load of wash in the drier, so I was walking into the laundry room reaching for the light and I got hit in the head by something flying. I screamed and hit the floor. My wonderful husband still in bed...wanted to know what was wrong. We thought it was a bat, but when we turned the light on...it was a beautiful owl! Still not thrilled! We did get it out safely.

What a day

News boy cap



So this morning I was so excited to try the new hat, and not surprise...it didn't fit, it didn't even fit Savannah. So I took it apart and was going to follow the exact measurements and add elastic at the back. That was not needed, the hat fits just right. Almost to tight.
After all this I went to the cdc growth charts and found that his measurements (20.5 in) are in the 95th percentile. So he really does have a big head.

We had really nice pictures with a back drop and all, but my camera lost them, so we have these to show instead.

I had to share because I never realized how big his head really is!
