December Pictures

December was very busy as always, and there are some adorable photos or moments I want to remember that won't fit on any other post. 

Savannah debuted on 'stage' haha she was a "friendly beast helper" and put the stuffed animals on the stage in our children's Christmas program to set the scene for the manger scene.

Here are some other pictures that Anna and Grandad took at her bday party as well as a few others. (which, are there any photos of Anna and Grandad from that whole day?! I cannot find any!)







Savannah is 30 pounds and 36.5 inches tall.  She is in the 35% for height and 45% for weight.  Dr. Aaron says she looks just perfect and we are happy with everything she's doing! She's eating well, her conversation and vocabulary is very advanced for her age, and she is of course smart as a whip. She is perfect with pottying and is not taking any miralax anymore.   Things she needs to work on are sleeping more (going to bed earlier. this will happen when she's 30 probably) and drinking more water/milk throughout the day.  Poor girl consumes only about 8 ounces of water per day it seems. She just is completely not interested in drinking anything ever and it makes this mama crazy considering her kidney condition.  Which she goes for her yearly checkup on that in April. 

Savannah loves to eat fruit and yogurt most. She loves to sing and dance. She loves to be tickled and have everything pink.  She really loves Walker and loves her mama and daddy. She likes school a lot better than ever before but she would still rather stay at home in her PJs all day if she had a choice.  Her favorite friends are Charlee, Caroline, Samara, and Anna King.  She likes to have a small braid and her nails and toenails painted pink.  She despises any sort of clothing on her legs: leggings, tights, pants, stockings, anything.  It makes getting dressed worse than pulling teeth. She wants to wear dresses every day with bare legs.  She does not like to have her hair up in a ponytail and she does not like to wear tennis shoes.  She is a great sharer and takes care of her brother in the sweetest ways. She will go get him a graham cracker (his fave) or sing him a lullaby if he's crying.  She will tell him in the car, "we're almost home, baby Walker. Don't cry baby brother. Mama will take care of you".  It is the sweetest thing.  

She still loves her "main Flopsy" which she calls Maing for some reason. It's very odd.  She sleeps with about 10 animals and babies and about 10 blankets on her bed, on top of the sheets and under no covers.  She goes to bed around 10 and gets up when we wake her up for school. If it is Saturday or Sunday, she sleeps until 9:30 or 10.  She takes a nap at school for an hour and a half but on the weekends she does not nap so we can get her into bed earlier.  

She is a precious little ray of sunshine and is SO fun to be around these days. She has the greatest stories and imagination. She talks on the phone like a 13 year old to her CC.  She bosses her brother around and he loves it.  She melts my heart and I am thankful for her every day.  Can't believe she's three!

Savannah's 3rd Birthday


Well Savannah's birthday was a great one! Friday the 5th she took brownies to her class and had a little afternoon snack party. I got to pop in!  Her awesome teacher made her a birthday crown. All pink, of course. 

Saturday on her bday she slept late and had donut holes for breakfast. 
Then party folks started arriving! The party was at 11 and we had hot dogs and such for lunch. 

When I asked Savannah what she wanted to decorate her party with, she said over and over, "I want a rainbow rainbow go go go party!" And I have no idea what that is but we went with rainbows. I thought it was fun :)
The cake was massive. 

Grandad did a little magic!!! We were so excited about that!
Savannah blew out her candles. 
And we opened presents. It was a lot of presents. Next year I want to say no gifts. Is that horrible for a 4 year old to get no gifts? Or maybe we just won't open them at the party. I don't know but it was so much chaos. 
Her "boyfriend" above. Oh my. 

Y'all. After having about 20 toddlers at our house, it was like a tornado hit!

After our friends left, our families stayed and she opened those presents. That was a lot of fun and less chaotic. We also celebrated Aaron's birthday for dinner which was two days before. 

Savannah ended her birthday very happy and blessed. At the end of the night, I was reading her a story and when I was finished, I said "I can't believe my baby girl is 3!" And she replied, "I wish I could go back to being just 2 once more..." It was adorable and innocent and such a grown-up statement too. Made me sad but I wouldn't trade my sweet 3 year old for anything!! Happy birthday Savannah!
