Going on a Trip

Going on a trip to "Oma's house in Pennsylvania!"

"Hurry up, the train is leaving!"

"Ch-ch-ch-ch" ...I just barely made it on the train!

Night Time at the Ryan's

Savannah has been pretty consistent with her sleep/wake cycle from when she was in the womb. Every night she has her awake period from about 7-8/8:30. This is also when Carson sits down for his evening show so it's become their bonding time. Carson loves to have her sit with him and he is very adamant that she gets her binky at ever little peep. Although she probably doesn't need it, it certainly makes CJ happy to give it to her.

Just chillin' watching Barney (yep, the big purple dinasour is still around and making kids happy!)...

When dealing with Savannah's crying, Carson has 2 ideas he always brings to the table to help calm her down 1) "Here you go Savannah, here is your binky" or 2) "I think she needs her Big Brother" (this is usually when Dan or I are holding her).

Look at Mommy!

Stretches & Poops

Every 3 hours (during the day) Savannah gets a wake-up call for her next feeding. She never fails with a good stretch and poop...I should probably get it on video for her to watch when she gets older!

Post Nap Photo

After a busy morning last Saturday, Carson, Savvy, and I took a nice little nap. Here we are all refreshed. I LOVE these kids!

Big Boy Writings

I can't believe what our little Man is doing in school these days. Every day he signs his name when he goes into class. In September all it was, was a quick 1-second scribble and now he sits down and writes his whole name by himself. It wasn't until he wanted to write with me the other night when I realized how many letters he knew how to make. Amazing that he can do all this at 3 1/2. We sat at the table for 20 minutes and he told me what name he wanted to write. I told him the letter to put down and here is what he came up with...

Great concentration...

So proud!

Savvy's First Bath

Oh, Boy did Savannah ever like her first bath. This little girl is amazing! She just goes with the flow with everything, eats like a champ, burps like a teenage boy, and falls asleep on her own (and stays asleep!). If I could be guaranteed that all babies were like her I'd have at least 3 more (...and if I didn't have to endure 9 months of fatigue, nasea, and vomitting)! I feel like I'm on vacation! :)

Just as I put her in..."Oh, Mom, this is quite nice"

"Even better with this warm wash cloth, Thank you!"
"What, we're done already?"

"Okay, but can we do that again another day?"

"Wow, and a fresh diaper and change of clothes? I could get used to this!"
