Friday To-Do

Well, it's Friday, so I better carry this orange juice bottle around Mama and Daddy's bathroom. (cause that makes perfect sense.)

Why did you open the door, Mama???

You want me to put this in the TRASH??? Can you not see this is my new favorite toy (that you'll have to sneak in the trash can after I go to sleep)???

Silly Mama...you have so much to learn...

and Happy Birthday to my wonderful friend from home Jen! Welcome to 29! I can remember us at 14 like it was yesterday. :)

Turning Things Around and Copycats

Well, miss Savannah wore us down. Her crying and whining and crazy fits in the short car rides she experiences every day finally drove me into a wall and we turned her around. Don't judge me until you've ridden with her. It is like a whole new child when we get in the car now. She can see where we are going, see what I'm doing, talk to me, and is just a general pleasure to spend time with in the car now. Praise the Lord.

In other news, someone is wanting to be like her big "brother" Cadence. See what I mean?

All Smiles!

Savannah wants to take a 'selfie' self-portrait just about every day. She talks to herself in the mirror and the iphone camera, smiles at herself, and just in general likes to see herself. See?

And I had to throw this one in from a few weeks ago riding around the neighborhood in her car. Pointing to other 'dars' (cars). She is an outside girl these days with the great temperatures.

Diva Girl

I mean. Diva.

Hey Savannah, have you put your lipstick on yet?

Good job! Show mama so I can take a picture!

I'm sorry, excuse me, I can't be bothered now. I am busy primping myself.

What a cute diva :) She got this vanity toy set from some of my best friends from home, Meredith and Cassie, and she LOVES it. It tells her she is pretty and beautiful and tells her to comb her hair, put on lipstick, and powder on her cheeks, has a bracelet she wears, and the mirror has lights around it that blink along with all the songs. It's so girly and diva-ish. Just what she needs :)

Weekend!

Weekend, can you come back again soon? Not a whole 5 days away...!

We had a great weekend hanging out just the three of us mainly with a few visits here and there with friends and family. I am always sad to see the weekend go. We unfortunately started out finding out Savannah has a UTI, her first one since being 5 weeks old and having the one that shed the light on her bladder reflux. She got such a glowing report in February at her urologist that he took her off the daily maintenance antibiotic. I was thrilled then, as you may remember, but now I'm a little worried she could be having damage on her still-affected-kidney since we aren't taking all precautions to avoid infections. But, I will wait it out and see if there is another UTI like he wants us to. The urologist said more than 2 and she'd go back on the daily antibiotic.

Oh, and, I think I have FINALLY convinced Savannah to get past not smiling for the camera. She now says "cheese" and will smile when I ask her to show me her smile. Or her teeth. (it was really probably only about 2 months that she has been refusing to have her picture taken but it seemed like forever)
