Cute Kid #2 - a little about Savannah

Savannah is a character indeed. She is a very big busy body and is the picture perfect 2 year old. If it is quiet you know Savannah is into something. For example, a few weeks back Savannah wasn’t were we thought her to be. So we went searching to see what kind of trouble she was in. We found her in the closet hiding behind all the clothes with a brand new pack of gum she had pulled out of my purse. She had torn into it with her teeth and had chewed up four sticks of gum by the time we found her.

She is always putting things in her mouth. We still have to be very careful with what is left around the house because we can very well find her chewing on it. I have called poison control once and have been close many other times with her. Jared tired putting a little Tabasco sauce on her tongue each time she put something foreign into her mouth. That didn’t help at all. She enjoyed the Tabasco sauce a little too much. It almost seems like her taste buds don’t work except when it comes to vegetables. She will always try her broccoli or a green bean but will spit it out instantly saying she doesn’t like it but she will eat a whole tube of cement glue. Crazy kid indeed!

She is very good at drawing on the walls. I think we had to put RJ in time out once or twice before he stopped doing this, but Savannah continues to push the limits no matter how many time outs she gets.

Savannah has the cutest curls that I am terrified of cutting and loosing. I dread the day when she gets a pair of scissors and cuts her own hair. Unfortunately that day did come a few Sundays ago. Luckily I caught her and she only managed to cut a small chunk at the top of her scalp. She has enough hair that is really isn’t too noticeable. It will be interesting to see if that hair grows back straight or curly.

Savannah isn’t all terrible. She gives the buggiest hugs, and has the cutest smiles. She loves to look at you out of the corner of her eye and give you a mischievous grin. It is so cute.

Where RJ is quick to say sorry, Savannah is very quick to give thanks. She is always saying thank you even if she is in tears. And the way she says it each times melts your heart.

She adores her big brother but there are many times she tries to pick fights with him. I think she does this because she knows she will win. He usually gives in but there has been a few occasions where her fights are just way to uncalled for and she gets a time out, especially when she starts to bite. That is her big defense strategy.

Savannah wants to be big so bad. She likes to try stuff herself and she is very persistent. She isn’t one to give up. She loves playing in the dirt and getting all dirty. But on the other side of things she loves dressing up. She enjoys wearing her Sunday dress and gets excited when it is time to but one on. She wants so bad to wear makeup and somewhat enjoys having her hair done. She loves doing my hair and when she finishes she always says ‘Pretty’ or ‘Beautiful’, or ‘Perfect’. It is so cute.

Savannah is one of a kind and we enjoy having her in our family. Life would be very boring with out her!

I don't know why nap time is more comfortable on the floor then in her bed. But that seems to be the way I find her during naps since we took her out of the crib.

It may be hard to tell, but this is Savannah's first black eye. RJ accidentally flew his car into her eye, ouch!! She had a nice shiner for a couple of days.

Savannah is huge into stunt and climbing. Here she is performing one of her tricks. We think she would do great in gymnastics.
