Bubbles in the Spring

Bubbles are a staple on warm Spring afternoons. They keep all the kids busy which is a blessed event around here. I kick back in a beach chair and sip on my Coke. It never lasts quite long enough.

Darling Savannah

Savvy is 22 months old now and has really been neglected when it comes to documenting her sweet life. Being the mom of 3 is proving to be much busier than I could have ever imagined. I practically posted everyday when Finn was this age.

Savvy LOVES books. She talks jibberish to herself and turns the pages. Any book that has animals will do the trick. She loves to drive past the horses, cows and donkeys that are on the way to and from our house. She will look out the window, gasp! and yell "DONK!!" (this means donkey)

Savvy sits with her ankles crossed almost constantly...very elegant and proper my girl is. She dances and sings throughout the day. She loves to be teased and tickled. She has no fear of strange people. Multiple times she has gone up to random "mom" at storytime and sat down right in her lap. Even when she looks across the room and sees that I am there and she is here, she doesn't seem to want to move. She will even go as far as pushing away random "mom's" own kids to defend her spot in the lap.

We don't go ANYWHERE without the "blank". (look familiar Amy?) I do have 2 other pieces of this same material that I substitute when the original gets washed but for the most part, this is GOLD to Savvy.

Cuddling is very important to Savvy. She loves being front and center and doesn't like to share a lap with anyone. Even Uncle Tyler will do. She spreads her love equally.

Although her first word was "mommy" she is definately a daddy's girl. It gets frustrating for Eric when she uses the word "mommy" when asking him for something. Apparently, "mommy" also means "please".

Neelah turns 3

Let me introduce you...this is Neelah. The other day as I was vaccuming, she comes out like this. She is ready and eager to help now that she has her own vaccume. There is no reason not to be fashionable while doing housework! This girl has so much attitude. I really can't explain just how much I love her. I also can't explain how difficult she can be.

Just tonight, at dinner, she repeated the same 3 questions at least 15 times each. She speaks so well that it is hard to understand why she can't ask a question once and have that be it. I forget that she is only 3 and 3 year olds repeat, repeat, repeat!

We are still working on the potty-training...hopefully she will decide to do it before next fall when she has to go to pre-school. Hopefully I won't be changing her diaper when she is 8. Hopefully we won't be broke by then because of all the money we spend diapering her darling little tushy. She will commit when she is ready, I have no doubt.

Something tells me that Neelah won't be too tall. She only has 1 1/2 inches on Savvy and they both are wearing 3T clothing. My kids don't have a chance of having flat bums.

Just this last month she grasped her colors and we are working on alphabet and counting past 20. She loves to read books and always sings herself to sleep. She drives Finn nuts with her constant singing along with the disney movies. For some reason it bugs him but I love that part of her. She is so tender with Savvy and they play so well together (as long as Finn isn't around to bug them).

I am so thankful to have her a part of our family. She dances her way into my heart each and every day. I love you Neelah!
