Savvy is nine months old as of yesterday!
Wow.
Three days ago she finally revealed two tiny teeth. One on the bottom, near the middle and one on top near the middle. I don't know what these teeth are called, but they are not the typical first teeth you get. It has been serious work to get these teeth. Teething is not for the faint of heart. The drooling, the endless chewing on everything, the late nights of no sleep and one poor baby in agony....I have never been so excited to see a tooth!
Savvy has also taken to standing whenever possible and cruising around. She has been showing off her skills to one and all. First our friend Teri came to visit a couple weeks ago. Days after she left, our friend Kyle was here. Then we went on vacation to see Matt's parents, aunt and uncle, grandma, sister and sister's new beau. Savannah is very much in the separation anxiety phase these days, in particular since I have been home. So while she may not enjoy being held by others, please don't take it personally- she loves you too! As evident by the mega watt smile directed to anyone paying her attention.
Cassidy learned how to fly a kite with grandpa over the weekend! She and Savvy LOVE the water. Lake Michigan is frigid, but you wouldn't know it from the squealing four year old rushing into the waves. Cass begins another round of swim classes on Monday, this time at the Univ of Chicago.
We also learned Savvy likes to eat sand. But she hates the grass. She doesn't like sitting in the grass, touching it or really having anything to do with it. But she loves the sand. She also loves trying to chew on Matt's phone while we are trying to take pictures with it.
Cassidy helped make her first pie last week. We went to the farmers market where we practiced counting and making change with the vendors. Then she helped slice peaches, plums and pears. We made an incredible pie crust- this one was butter. Matt helped roll it out, Cass used a cookie cutter to make hearts. We put everything together and Ta-Da!! As you can imagine, the letter P was our focus that day.
Sometime last week we also took a short walk over to the federal reserve bank building. Their money museum exhibit is not only free, but you walk out with a pack of shredded money! $365 to be exact. It is a great place to learn all about money. We were quite impressed by the cube of $1 million as well. Almost as impressive as the stack of $1 million right next to it. Who knew such a cool educational experience was lurking in that nondescript building down the street?

Great pie, Cassidy!
ReplyDeleteShe says thank you!
DeleteWho would think of going to the Federal Reserve Bank with the kids?? You are brilliant at finding fun and educational things to do!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you friend! But I do not come up with this stuff on my own. And I learned so much! It's a small place with a punch :-) This one we found out about from on a really cool PBS documentary about the Loop. Whoever designed it knew what they were doing when it comes to kids and their need to touch everything.
