Dylan ADORES our cats. Kitty was one of his first words, closely followed by CJ & Beau (our cats names). He takes any chance he can get to pet the cats & loves to cuddle with them too. CJ is so starved for attention, that he will take anything he can get--including slobbery kisses & hugs from Dylan... which often come with a few tugs on his tail and/or whiskers.
We ended a very peaceful weekend with our first visit to the ER with one of the kids... Savannah. She fell in the back of the car & hit her head on a metal bracket of one of the seats that was up. It bled a lot and scared us all, but at the end of the day the doctor glued it back up with a little dermabond. Savannah was a trooper and took it all in stride... I think she really liked all the extra special attention from the nurses & doctor, not to mention Mommy & Daddy :) As you you can see she is doing just fine!!!
I know it is super important to let Savannah pick out her own clothes... but when she comes down stairs wearing outfits like this, do I really have to let her leave the house???
I looked at Dylan the other day & realized he is looking less and less like a baby each day. Since he has been walking he has slimmed out a lot-- no more giant rolls on the legs :( He is also talking a ton-- he can say book, sissy (for Savannah), bottle, snack, kitty (and both cats names), daddy, mommy, papa, baby, ball and of course Elmo. He has been such a sweet little baby and is quickly turning into a sweet little boy. Here are two of my favorite pictures recently of him being a big boy!
Savannah LOVES pajamas. Especially nightgowns & most especially her High School Musical nightgown, that came with a matching sleep mask. The other night when I went to tuck her in I found her like this :)
We finally got the last two pictures of Dylan & Mitch that we had taken back in September. We had them stretched over canvas so it took a bit longer, but they turned out beautifully!! I couldn't resist sharing-- I know Dylan is going to hate me one day for one of the pictures (I am sure you can guess which one) but it is my absolute favorite!!
Savannah got this really cool Fisher Price computer program for Christmas. I put it up on the garage thinking she was a little young & figured I would pull it out down the road. Of course, she has been asking for it non-stop, so last week we set it up on a rainy day. She surprised me and is so good with it-- she can turn it off/on all by herself, operate the mouse & print pictures all by herself. I can't believe how quickly she is growing up!
Savannah had a playdate last week with her best buddy (and sometimes boyfriend depending on her mood) Joey. When I went upstairs to check on the them, I found them dressed like this and they quickly informed me they were "Going to Hawaii!!". Too funny!
Dylan is finally making some progress walking. Over the weekend he took multiple steps on a few different occasions. He still prefers to crawl- it is just quicker & easier! But he is spending more & more time on his two little feet and I am sure by next week he will be running around the house.
We spent this last weekend up in Granite Bay celebrating Colleen's birthday & watching the Super Bowl. We had a great time out on Saturday night celebrating while Hailey watched the kiddos. Sunday we relaxed and watched the big game. We are so lucky to have the Israel's in our lives & always have such a good time with them... We love you guys!
