A few weeks ago, we were all gearing up for the ice storm on the year. Kansas City always freaks out a bit when bad weather is predicted. We aren't used to it like out Minnesota friends. Due to this terrible storm rolling in, all the local schools were closed Friday (they even announced it Thursday evening....so early!)
Savannah found her chef outfit and wanted to give it a whirl. She loves stirring bowls and whisking eggs with me.
Savannah tries to be very independent. She always wants to drink out of our cups. She hasn't gotten the hang of it yet...
She's tall enough to reach the water. We have to lock this most days or there will be water everywhere!
Savannah got this rocking chair for Christmas and puts it to good use.
Practicing her touchdown dance for the Chiefs game (before they lost).
Since the "ice storm" hit over presidents weekend, my mom ended up with a 4 day weekend. That meant more cards on Monday. We try to get a whole game of Hand and Foot in during nap time, but clearly Savannah woke up before we could finish. One of these days she will be able to join us!
There is a trampoline park/kids jungle gym in town that runs a special on Tuesday mornings. I am trying to hit it up once in a while. I definitely cringe when she wants to get in this germ pit, I mean ball pit. She loves it.
Savannah does everything with her right hand, but recently has been testing the left when she doodles.
Putting coins in her piggy bank is a new activity. I must have given her too many coins the other day because she hid a small pile of them under her rug and said "all done". She's been putting books under there too. Funny girl.
Savannah loves putting shoes on. She doesn't care how big they are, she tries to get her feet in them.
The next day, back at the piggy bank
I had to return something to IKEA and this is the little kids area right by the return desk. They are geniuses! Savannah didn't want to leave.
I took some clothes to Catholic Charities last week and found this desk. I could picture Savannah playing school and coloring away at this desk. Needless to say, it came home with us. Once the weather is better, I am going to sand it down and paint it up!
We have old car seats that friends had given us in the basement. We cleaned them up and put them back together last week. Savannah was obsessed with sitting in it. I can't believe she even let me clip her in! It was like her own personal recliner.
Saturday morning, Tom went to help John while I get my nails done with my aunt. I was cashing in on my birthday present.
Savannah got to hang out with Madeline and Hannah. Savannah loved playing with their old toys!
These girls are the sweetest! Thanks for entertaining Savannah!
Tom had some hotel points that were going to expire if he didn't have activity on his account. We decided to slip away to Lawrence (30ish minute away) and just enjoy an evening out. We ended up having more fun playing cards and games in the hotel room than anything else. We went to dinner and both agreed it was just too loud. We would rather hang out in our quiet room. I guess we're getting old. Or just enjoy the peace and quiet that we forgot existed before Savannah.
As much as we loved out night away, we can't stand to be away from Savannah too long.
I told her to show us her teeth, and this is what we get!
You'll notice the blankets I tied onto her crib...Savannah enjoys chewing on her crib when she wakes up. She hasn't done it in a while, but I know the first time I take the blankets off, she'll try it again.
Savannah got my dad's old cell phone for Christmas. She loves it!
She used to be as bald as her cabbage patch baby. I can't believe how much hair she is getting.
She's super pumped about her pink converse shoes. They belonged to a friend who was getting too big for them. When Savannah tried them on (remember, she loves trying on shoes) the little girl's mom insisted that Savannah keep them. I wish I could keep any shoes I tried on!
She loves anything that belongs to Katie. Good thing Katie has other hats to wear.
After dinner books. These two make quite a pair!
Yesterday was a beautiful day. We had to get outside and enjoy it while it lasts.
Hanging out with her buddy at Joan's house.
Give her an empty egg carton and she's content...at least for a few minutes.
That's a wrap! Hopefully I won't go so long next time.
