Waiting for the New Camera to Arrive

I have just been going through pictures from the last month that I don' think I posted from the cell phone and stuff as I wait for our new camera to arrive. They called yesterday to confirm the order, so it should be here very soon! Yippee. We decided to stay with the Olympus, since we are happy with our point and shoot, it is just a cheapy under $100 camera and we are upgrading to the SLR digital to catch all those very special moments. I am so excited! Savannah is doing AWESOME on the potty. She rarely has an accident. I just have to take her to the bathroom every 15-20 minutes. She can't tell you yet that she has to go, but when you ask her she says yes and goes everytime. We are SO proud of her.

For now, here are these... Neither child is crazy about the double stroller, but I love it and think it is so cute. This is at the mall last month. Love how Savannah at 3 years old knows to open her silverware

More double stroller fun

A little bit of nudity, but it is so cute how Savannah helps with Seth's bath. I couldn't resist posting it.

Going into the Dinosaur Place

I don't remember where we are (somwhere with a Starbucks, may even be Starbucks), thought it was sweet and cute how I am looking at my children who I love so very much.

I cannot tell you how long I have wished to be walking with my kiddos in the double stroller. I am one happy mama!

Houston--We Have a Girl Who Goes On the Potty

Today is the day Savannah decided to go pee pee on the potty! 8 pee pees and 1 poopy and not too many accidents. She is doing great and we are so proud of her! Way to go Savannah!

Hike and Haircut

This post is a week overdue, but I never got around to it this busy week. Last Friday when I took Seth to the pediatrician, Rich took Savannah for her first "hike," as he likes to call it. It was actually a nature walk, on a gravel travel at a state park. They walked 1.5 miles. She did great and loved it. It was a beautiful day and unfortunately Rich forgot there was a beach and a lake and did not bring her bathing suit and towel and of course she wanted to go in. They had a great time though and she is quite a little "hiker" now. When Seth got his haircut, of course princess could not be left out, so she got hers cut too and her are some pictures of her bang trim at Rollarcoaster Cuts. The other photos of Savannah at just some random things Rich caught on the iphone. I cannot upload my photos from my camera because our XD card has a piece of plastic broken off and I can't get it to load into the computer. We are going to order the new camera today and we have to find the cord for the point and shoot to get the photos off.

Taking a rest on the bench from walking and shopping last weekend We went out to dinner and when we came into the restaurant Seth was sleeping and Savannah said she wanted to sit in the booth with Seth. Like a responsible big sister, as soon as he woke up and started crying, she gave him his pacifier. We did not even tell her too. She just picked it up and put it in his mouth and held it for him.

After Daddy worked out his legs, Savannah went and did the same thing.

Savannah, What are you doing? "Work Out Tibs."

At the trail head

Which path? She has the trail map

This way Daddy!

Cutest little hiker ever

Made it to the lake

I love the sand

Taking a break

Found another place to sit

She is still talking about the bridge

So classic that her hat fell off and she is looking at the running water under the bridge

All done for today. Time to go home and meet up with Mommy and Seth

Savannah's turn for a haircut

How beautiful

Making sure it is even

The Boy Who LOVES His Food

Seth is the happiest baby on Earth since starting solid foods. He was so ready and needed the tastes, textures, calories, variety, etc. He just loves it and eats it all up (literally and figuaratively). He truly enjoys it and smiles as he eats. Even though it looks like mush to us, he acts like you are giving him the BEST thing in the world and he is so appreciative. He likes it all, peas being his least favorite and sweet potatoes being the top of the list. Bananas and apples are very yummy too. The funniest thing is he doesn't like to eat in the high chair or in a seat. He eats best in exersaucer or propped up on the boppy. This baby does not like to be strapped into anything and this was eating is not boring. You have things to do and look at. Savannah has a new game--Hide and Seek, but we should really call it Hide and Peek. She pretends to close her eyes and she counts, but she is watching where you hide. But she pretends she didn't and looks in other places. She says, "Where are Mommy?" (we are missing either a you or she means is). Then she says, "Hmmmm, think, think, think. I know." Then she runs to you and laughs. After she finds you she says, "Hide and Seek Mommy Again!" We have to get it on video. It is quite adorable and funny. Savannah continues to great with Seth and gives him toys and a pacifier (which he doesn't fancy any longer--would MUCH rather chew a burp cloth). She is going to love it when he is mobil and can play and interact even more.

Is that a face of a boy who loves his food or what? I have food on my chin, but feed me more

Thank you and can I have some more please?

I am the happiest baby on the block

All happy and well fed

She is dancing to the music of the dance mat and she said, "No dance on Seth." How considerate.

She asks him questions and I know she really wants an answer. She waits a minute and then answers for him. She knows that, "Babies no talk. Just cry."

I am sure she is thinking lying here doing tummy time is boring, don't you want to get up and dance. I asked her the other day if she is looking forward to when Seth learns to walk and she said yes. Now she says, "Mommy hold Seth. Seth no walk."

Tummy Time Together

Tummy Time Alone (I think Savasnnah ws sleeping)

Tummy time with my new soft toys

I love tummy time (both my children did)

I have two toys. This is serious now.

I can do Tummy Time, Play with Toys, and follow a conversation

Fast asleep

After all that tummy time, I am exhausted and decided to join my sister in dreamland.

Woke up and am hungry again. Thanks for feeding me Sheila.

Yum!

Another Point of View

These pictures are from my Dad and Sheila's cameras. We were just lazily hanging out on the bed in the morning with Seth, so ignore the pj's, but it was cute and fun! Good morning papa and Seth Close up of Seth cuddling with Papa

I am super comfy and maybe falling back to sleep

How sweet

Just getting up

No better place to watch TV
