Keeping up with Daddy

We have been Skyping with Marc most nights while he’s away so Savannah gets to see and talk to him. She signs Daddy to me every time I’m on the phone – regardless who I’m talking to – but even when it is Daddy she won’t say hi or respond to him. However, when the Skype program starts she starts getting excited and lately when Marc pops up on the screen she’s all smiles and giggles to say hi. And apparently thirsty – she ALWAYS starts drinking her water or gets upset if I’ve forgotten it (really try to remember!!).

That being said, her attention span is still short so after a few minutes she’s off to color, play or get a book. The past couple weeks Marc has taken a book with him to read to her but it hasn’t caught on yet. The other night when he was on the third page she hopped off my lap, grabbed a book from her shelf, climbed back on my lap and started reading back to Daddy. It was so stinkin’ cute! I think she ended up reading it to him three times – much longer than their normal “chats”!

Musical Chairs

After setting the table for dinner Savvy was ready to get in the chair and eat. Instead of pulling out her chair and putting her arms up signaling me to put her in her booster she pulled out my chair and climbed up. Had no idea she could get up there - she still isn't much of a climber which I am totally good with!

Curious as to how she'd eat since she wasn't able to see much over the table I sat down to watch. She did great! She sat properly for the whole meal, used her spoon and asked nicely for more sour cream and a chip (using her words instead of just pointing and making noise). She even signed and said "all done" when she was finished which she hasn't been doing as much of in her booster, she's been pushing herself from the table and whining.

We'll see if it continues or was a one time thing but we may not need a second baby chair after all. :-)

Easter–Very Late!

I completely forgot to post the pictures from Easter after I got them from Grandma Wienke.

She had a great time at the petting zoo however she was not real keen on the Easter bunny..

Cooking Lessons

This morning Savannah helped Daddy make breakfast. She was trying to hand him the eggs but couldn't quite reach :-)

Ready to Travel

Savvy really likes the luggage at Kohls. We had picked up a new suitcase for Marc over the weekend and went back to get a couple more things a few days later. She immidiatly went back to the luggage area and started walking around with the suitcases.
