Happy 4th Birthday Savannah Nicole!

How is it that Savannah is 4?? I know it sounds silly but I'm torn with total admiration and awe of this witty, sassy as can be, intuitive, silly little girl, and sadness that my baby girl is actually 4. No more babyhood, no more toddler hood...she's a batman toting, weather woman, bug hunting, not scared of anything (but maybe the rain), human body memorizing (I'll get to this later), amazing big sister who is going into Pre-K next school year! AGHH! Let me take you through what she's into now because she cracks us up daily.

She loves the weather, everyday she tells us what the weather is (cloudy, sunny, windy, rainy, etc..) and asks if its going to rain. She has a pretty big fear of thunderstorms and I think it's all tied together. They made this dial at school where she can point the arrow to the type of weather she sees outside. She's very into it. And the human body...oh yes. I have an app on my ipad on her ipod touch that goes through all the main body organs and systems. Just this morning we were talking about the spine, pelvis, and brain. I find myself stumped already by her questions...like "mommy whats the spleen for?" hmmm I clearly should have listened better in anatomy class. And the way she remembers us teaching her things like when she got to the skull photo she said "the skull keeps your brain from falling out!" yes Savvy that's right! HA! So literal and hilarious.

She's a whopping 42" tall, and still long and lean. She's in 5t- and some 5/6 clothes! Eats anything we put in front of her now. Sauteed mushrooms, swiss chard, spinach...she's an eater.

She's still VERY into the Fresh Beat Band and we're taking her on April 13th to the Cobb Galleria to see the show! I got great seats which were a total splurge but what the heck! We have a walkway in front of us so I'm hoping a few of them walk through the crowds. I'll be doing some silly shameless FBB dancing for sure! We got her an outfit like Marina too (one of the members), its going to be so much fun!

She loves her batmobile and voice activated tarantula...altough its missing now??? She's now said she wishes she had batman clothes....she's been wearing her spiderman clothes until they've almost shredded. 

Here is our tradition of a birthday pancakes/waffle with strawberries, a bit of whip cream, candles and a surprise peep! What the heck it IS HER BIRTHDAY! Easton clearly wanted some...can you tell?





Then later that day we invited her best buddy Sarah to come to Kangaroo Jakes with us for some jumpy fun and some lunch. The girls had a ball, after two hours they couldn't muster the strength to go on any more! Now thats worth every penny!



Easton tried it out...he's not so sure.


In the afternoon after some much needed relaxation time for the girly we put together the water table that Meme and Baba got for Easton for his bday. I know its early but its been in the 80s everyday so anything with water is very refreshing! Oh my goodness did they love it?? E is pulling up on everything so he loves to hang on here and splish splash around...that is until his sister dumps water on his head...




He mom check out the dolphin!


Every once in a while Easton will look at you and point and smile...its hilarious. It's like he's saying..."How you doin?"


And some random phone pics from our weekend.

Easton was clearly pooped by the morning at Kangaroo Jakes.

And I'll leave you with my favorite photo quite possibly ever of them...she said "I love you buddy" and kissed him and I just happened to catch the moment....heart melting.
