Inch worm

Savannah has started to "crawl". It's more like a inch worm, but she is now very mobile, never staying in one place. She has been doing this for about a week and a half but this is her first time leaving the living-room. And always finding things she should not have. Even if I sweep everyday she still manages to find something to put in her mouth.

On another note, she has been sleeping very well this week until last night. She has been going down around7 and sleeping until 630-730. The down fall, it seems she goes to the "bathroom" every single night after I put her to bed and now she has a little rash. So I have started to put cream on her to clean it up and also help prevent it I hope, I sure don't like the smell of that first thing every morning, I hope it ends soon. However last night she was up a lot but there was a reason, she now has 3 teeth. She got her right upper front tooth last night.

A run for his money

I do believe Savannah will be giving Austin a run for his money someday soon.

On our walk today we put both kids in the wagon (wanted to get pictures but Savannah was way past done by the time we got home). The wagon is a 2 seater that the kids face each other. Before we left for the walk I gave both kids a dum dum lolli. The kids were really enjoying each other and their lollies then on the way back we hear Austin cry out "awe" and getting upset (Rob and I were talking to each other), when we looked at the kids we see Savannah has grabbed Austin's lolli out of his hand and is now sucking on his, hers was on the ground. It was funny and I couldn't help but laugh I mean come on a 8 month old took a 3 year old's lolli and he didn't retaliate. On the other hand thankful that he didn't get mean with her. Such a good big brother.

Ears

Last week I took Savannah to get her ear's pierced. It went a lot better than I expected. Rob refused to be present. Austin sat in the stroller and had a lolli. Savannah let out one of those cries that you can see she is getting ready to cry but nothing comes out for about 30 seconds. They gave her a lolli as well and all has been well. She doesn't mind when I clean them or anything. However we went to the curve Sunday and someone still called her a boy!

Valerie came for a visit

she wanted her hair curled for church

coloring eggs

at the park

Over Easter Valerie was home for a visit. It was so nice to have her home again. Everyone had a great time and Austin was really sad to see her go home.

She had a friend over Friday night, then on Saturday we went to the saddest Easter egg hunt, then for ice cream. On Sunday we went to Granny's for Easter. Monday we just hung out at home and all played. Then Tuesday was the dreaded day for her to go home.

She has only been gone since September but she really is growing up. In her mind she was to big for the Easter egg hunt, and didn't want to play at the park. She wants to listen to music write things like V&L for ever (she says "L" is made up), go for walks watch movies and be in her room with her door shut.

We can't wait for June to have you home for good Valerie!

Austin is swimming

I was getting a little worried about Austin and the water. He has been getting upset in the bathtub and in the hot tub when he gets water in his eyes. So the last couple of times that we have gotten in the hot tube I have been playing things with him that would require him to get his face a little wet. Last night he just went for it! One he started it was hard to get him out of the tub

To Aunt Mel

Aunt Mel sent us this shirt in the mail. We all know that daddy and Austin are HUGE Charger fans. When we opened it up Austin said...awe it's Steelers. So I thought we would make it wearable. I only did this because it came from a second had shop (at least I am 99% sure). And the best part... Austin did the painting and is now happily wearing it at the moment.

The new front and now the hat reads Steelers stink

Grumpy

Now that Savannah has started to really show off her personality it's hard not to compare Austin and Savannah. It was pretty hard and still is to Compare Valerie to Austin because of the big age difference and well different daddy's.


I have always known that Austin pretty much has my personality but it really show's now that Savannah is around and well let’s face it, she has Robs.


For the most part Rob is easy going (unless it comes to winning a game). We all know he is very friendly and can talk to anyone.


I don't remember too much about my younger years, maybe I blocked it out. But I always remember that my granddad nick named be grumpy and when my Aunt Marie first starting see my Uncle Michael everyone told her not to try and warm up to me because I was grumpy and wasn't very friendly. (She was the one person I did become friendly with I guess.). As an adult it is pretty hard for me to warm up to people still. I don't think I am mean...maybe guarded? Once I get to know you I think I am friendly.


Well back to the reason for this post. I have noticed that Savannah is a generally happy baby, smiles, will go to anyone and the big thing I have notice when she wakes up she is really happy (daddy).


When it comes to Austin he takes awhile to warm up to people, he is pretty nasty when he first wakes up (mommy), and when he gets mad he gets mad at everyone.

I think Valerie is a pretty good mix of Troy and Me. She is laid back like Troy, has my attitude, Troy’s built and looks like me.

So…Savannah not only looks like Rob but I think has his personality and Austin has looks like me and has my personality.Let’s face it the kids all give my nasty looks when they are mad.
