Melanie has found her mate in our daughter. Wherever Savannah goes you can bet Melanie is right behind and Savannah loves it. I have a feeling Melanie will sleep in Savannah's room at some point.

Bubble Bath!
In an effort to keep Savannah up until bedtime I added bubbles to her bath. She was exhausted but I feared if she went to sleep to early she’s be up super early too. She LOVED them! I hid toys in the the bubbles for her to find, she danced her hands around in them to see the movement and ended up trying to eat the bubbles..

I’m not sure how it happened but at the end of her bath her bangs were sticking straight out – it was hilarious!

Home from school
Our new routine when leaving school seems to be Sav receives her report card from her teacher then goes to to door to (not so patiently) wait for me. Normally I end up with the paper to carry home but On Tuesday she wouldn't give it up.
So we headed out of school and I realized not only was she holding the paper but she wasn't holding my finger like she always does. She was just trotting along happy as can be down the sidewalk. Every few minutes she would stop, hold the paper in both hands and "read" it aloud - so funny!

Baby Number 2–First Pictures!
On Friday we had our first ultrasound for the new baby and they gave us a bunch of still prints to take home. It is much easier to see the video on the screen while in the room but here they are!
In the third picture, the bottom half is the heartbeat – 140 bpm :)

Flashcards
A friend who’s son has outgrown them let us borrow her “Your Baby Can Read” set. Savannah has no interest in the DVDs – they are crappy – but she LOVES the sliding flashcards! She’s only had them a couple days but squeaks in excitement when she finds the “Dog” card and claps like crazy with the “clap” card.

California Wedding
We just arrived back from California concluding Savannah’s 8th flight so far (at just 17 months it seems like a lot!). Since Bakersfield is a tiny airport – 9 gates – we were on a small plane. Not so small as to require seating based on everyone’s weight like flying back from white water rafting but only 50 passengers to fill the plane.
Even though we were really busy and all over the place for the two days Savannah was amazingly good. Yes, I still get surprised although no one else seems to be anymore. I know she’s a wonderful girl and well behaved but I was expecting and would’ve fully understood a couple meltdowns. Nope, not one. She took short (or no) naps, went to sleep late each night and up early and still all smiles and laughs. Which makes it funny the only picture we took of her at the wedding she had this face..
During the coctail hour between the wedding ceremony and reception we went walking around the country club and noticed a tennis ball on one of the courts. Marc gave it to Savannah and she walked around a bit with it then they started throwing it back and forth. I didn’t realize she could catch and throw so well, she doesn’t with her various balls at home.
Throwing and Catching
At dinner she mainly wanted the fries – the same thing happened the night before. She had a couple bites of fruit but barely any of her chicken and what is really rare she didn’t even want to try hardly any of our food. She missed out, it was sooo good! Chicken.. chicken.. you know i love it! there was other food but the chicken was yum!! Not to worry though, she didn’t go hungry.. There were chocolate “Oscars” on the table to go with the Old Theatre theme and mommy gave it to her to play with. She figured out immidiately that it was food. Best pictures of the weekend!
Grandpa Wienke stopped by the table not realizing what was going on so I asked if he wanted to hold Savannah for a couple minutes. “Sure!” he said. And came SOOO close to taking her but we had to stop him and bust out laughing.. He – nor anyone at the wedding – could believe the mess!! It was pretty bad.. While I didn’t eat any of it I ended up with chocolate on my arms, legs and face.. And that was before I picked her up to go to the bathroom to clean up! We did bring some extra smiles and laughs to the guests that saw it though. :)
After the clothing change and a quick scrub down Savannah danced with Daddy and he sung to her – telling her that “Brown Eyed Girl” was not his and her song instead of his for me. He’s such a sucker for his little girl! :)

And the cutest pictures are of Savannah with three of our pups after we arrived home. They are sooo cute..
