Two and a half!

This weekend, Savannah turned two and a half....wasn't it just yesterday I was in the hospital with her holding her for the first time?

She's growing up so fast! This month she started saying, "I do it meeself!" and meaning it! She has to dress herself and walk down the stairs without help. She insists on not wearing a bib anymore. Everything has to be done HER way....or else!

She has started drawing faces and circles and recognizing her colors - yellow is her favorite - and wants to know what everything says. "What dat say mommy?" We read words all day long because she loves to put letters together.

She is my independent player. She can play with her Little People or Legos or doll babies for hours. She loves to sit in closets or under tables and play with her babies.

Her eyes are still big and brown and luscious! She gets compliments all the time on how beautiful her eyes are.

Her favorite foods are cucumbers, strawberries, pineapple, carrots, and scrambles eggs. She is a voracious eater and loves most things.

And she sings....all day long! Songs about her hair bows, songs about the puppies and the kitties. Songs about random things like cars....I love to listen to her little made up songs. And primary songs. She sings them all day long also. "Follow the Prophet" and "Sunbeam" are two favorites.

She loves her big brother, Garrett. Although, when he tries to make her do something she doesn't want to do, then she will let him have it! (look how young Garrett is!)

And Xander is so loving to her. She also can be a stinker to him when he tries to get her dressed or make her get out of the bath....sigh! Another strong-willed child in the house!

And Eleanor, she calls her "mommy" and they have their own language. It's pretty interesting sometimes to listen to them. Eleanor loves to put her on her lap and give her hugs and sing to her at night. They have a special bond.

She is also my little clown. She knows how to make everyone in the house laugh. She has a great sense of humor and loves to be silly. She is a fun little girl and we are so blessed to have her in our family!

Two and a half! Where has all the time gone?
