King family update

Savannah Grace is growing like a weed. I am just now starting to think of her as a kid now and not a baby. It is a weird thing for me because she is still small but she does all of these kid like things. I am loving when she tries to get her point across because she know exactly what she wants but is still mastering saying the words. She love to go outside, so she goes to the back door where her coat is and points and grunts, which means "I want to go outside!!" She also screams for her stroller when she wants to go to the park, it is actually really cute! She is just full of opinions! I think she is starting to say grandma, because last night when my mom left after watching her for the day, she went to the door and started to say "um-ma" which I think is grandma. It is just getting better and better to be a mom, I am enjoying each phase more than the last! It is really hard to go to work still, but I am enjoying it a little more. 

As you will see in the pictures Savannah had her first fall that left a mark. She was walking along the table and smacked her cheek, leaving a bruise! I didn't think it was that bad but it was. I feel like a bad mom but there was nothing I could have done to prevent it, so... I will just have to live with it! 

As for my loving husband, he is doing well. However, golf season is fast approaching and he has already had one tournament! I hope that he does well this year and enjoys playing! I do give him a hard time occasionally, but I know he is getting to do something he loves and is good at, so I'll give him a break! Well that's about it from our house!

Talent Show

Since my baby is such a reclusive diva, I caught some of her "talents" on camera and though I would share!

The Diva

After leaving work last night, I was talking with the girls that are Savannah's teachers and they made a funny comment that got me thinking about her personality. She said that she is very opinionated and she has this way about her that is very grown up, almost diva like. Which I agree, I just never really looked at it like that. She is down right sassy, she knows what she wants and who she wants to be around and she is pretty set in her ways. Yesterday, they said she was sharing her prized possession - her blankie - with a little boy her age, and both seemed happy holding the blankie together, however the moment he started to put it in his mouth Savannah ripped it out and gave him a dirty look. I know this is true because most people have seen this look - the one when she looks you up and down and seems to be saying "oh no you did not!" She is just such a funny little person with such a big personality already. I know that anyone who know my wonderful husband understands where she gets this personality - from him. With both of them you have to give them space and wait for them to come to you, don't get in there space. They are also extremely picky about who they allow into their world, they need to be in control of the situation and think it is their idea. It is funny because with both of them people are kind of puzzled about their personalities and I think many wonder if they are ever happy, but it is amazing when you get them alone or at home in their element with no outside pressure - they are so amazing and funny and great to be around. I get a little sad that other people cannot see how great Savannah and her Daddy are but the most important part to me is that I know and that we are such a happy family and I am so lucky for both of them!! 

Howdy!

Savannah's 1st Birthday Party was an overall success, we had a few issues - burning her finger on the candle - but I think she had a good time. She is such a shy girl she was a little overwhelmed by all the attention and people, and without a good afternoon nap she had a few meltdowns, but she seemed to enjoy the gifts and cake. Here are a few pics...

Savannah is 1 Today!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAVANNAH GRACE!!

Happy Birthday my beautiful little baby!! 

I cannot believe a year ago today I was in the hospital in extreme pain getting ready for my life to completely change!! It is amazing how fast time flies. I am so proud of her, she is getting so big and learning more and more each day! Even though she is growing up I still look at her as my little baby. It is such an amazing blessing and you can never describe how much joy a child brings to your life. You can never fully prepare for the way your life will change and how much love you have for a little ball of energy and trouble. I look at her every day when she is playing with her Daddy and I am so overcome with love and happiness I just have to smile and thank God for all my blessings. Stephen is such a good Daddy and he is really getting into it more now that I have been working, I am so lucky to have him in my life!! Well, I will post soon and share party pics!!

Chaos..

WALKING!!!

I feel like my life is in a perpetual state of chaos! I get one thing accomplished and the next moment something comes along and changes it. From the little things, like putting away the toys and 2 seconds later they are all over and everything is a mess, to the big things, like working and getting into a rhythm and then feeling like I want to scream and quit!! I am trying to find the delicate line that is balance. 

Savannah went to school for the first time on Thurs and Fri. On the positive side - she did not scream all day like I had envisioned, she actually did really well!!! On the negative side she came home sick and upon visiting the doctor had RSV!! What a first cold! She is feeling much better and is on the mend!! We will be all better for our party on Sat! Needless to say she is not going back to school this week!

Then there is the bird that somehow has made its way into the vent fan in the laundry room and is now stuck! We have no idea how this bird got in and no idea how to get it out! I came home tonight (alone and in the dark) and the bird or a friend of the bird was flying around my laundry room!! Great, what do I do? Stephen is gone and so I prop open the door and the bird disappears. I then go into to check and the stupid bird is still in the vent!! I don't know what to do but the sound of this bird in the vent is creeping me out and driving me crazy!!

Finally, my baby's first birthday is approaching! Bittersweet event. I just cannot believe it has been a year and my baby is not my baby anymore!! All at once she doesn't need me anymore and it is breaking my heart. First she weaned, then started to walk, and goes to school no problem, what next?? My heart can't take much more, so she had better slow down with this growing up stuff!!
