Savvy Update

Savvy speaks! Her favorite words are
shoe
bubble
apple
hello
byebye
mama
dadda
sissy
purple
no no
uh huh (with vigorous head nodding)
adios
moon
yellow
poop
please
mine
me
cheerios/cereal (it's not perfect, but we know when she wants the yellow box)
banky (blanket)
yay
nite
book
ouch
yeah
walk
down
woof
moo
chicky

And she repeats most things that comes out of an adult's mouth at least once. In that way kids have when you have to question, did she really just say that? In particular with words you don't want her to repeat!

Things she can do
Put super simple puzzles together
watch an episode of Gaspar and Lisa
Blow bubbles
put things in a basket or box
climb. good gracious she climbs everything.
sit at the table in a real chair, though we still use the high chair for meals
color with crayons
dance
follow her big sister around

and we are almost done with binky! I cut the tip yesterday and when she put it in her mouth she started saying YUCK over and over again. Now she just carries it around. The girls' next dentist app is in June and we promised the dentist we'd relieve her of it once she was past the scary SIDS age but before all her teeth were in so the shape of her mouth isn't affected. There's a picture here where you will see her eyeing binky. The look on her face...."Why aren't you working?"











Savvy is as curious as can be and her feisty nature has only bloomed into a very independent streak, that is sometimes quite frustrating! Her squeals and giggle make my day....

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith, I am sure that bloggers across the world are firing away about a news piece gone viral today. http://gma.yahoo.com/k-e-diet-brides-using-feeding-tubes-rapidly-080053646--abc-news-health.html In case this link is non-existent by the time you read this, long story short, people are using feeding tubes for rapid weight loss in a short amount of time. This is your mother talking. If for some reason this ridiculous trend is still around when you grow up, and you think about doing this to your self, please know that I will spank you and put you in timeout. You do not diet to fit into a dress, or suit. You pick an outfit that highlights your best attributes and get it tailored to fit your body, not the other way around. No matter what size you are, as long as your are healthy, not putting toxins into your body, and exercising, whatever size you are is beautiful and perfect in God's eyes because God does not make mistakes. There is a flattering de...
