Little Walker

I am sorry it has been so long since I have updated. There's a lot to write about. Of most importance is the fact that Savannah has started walking. She'd been taking a few steps now and then for a while, and then one day last week, she just took off. And ever since then, walking has been her preferred mode of transportation (besides one of us carrying her). She really likes when we let her down in stores, because she can reach all the bottom shelves and pull everything off. Fun for her...not so fun for us.

Savannah has started singing part of her ABC's. She can sing through G. We got it on video. That's another one of those things she just did one day. And she counts, but she only says "theeee." So she'll point to things and say "theee, theeee, theeeee." Sometimes she says "two." She's also learned "highchair," "cup," "book," "ball," and the lovely art of sticking out her tongue. Oh yes, and we can't forget, the greatness of a tantrum. Her tantrums consist of laying on the floor and whining. She doesn't do it too much, but enough is enough.

We got a new dog. He's a chihuahua, and we named him Chachi. He's like the exact opposite of Sampson. He's hyper and active and quite small. He likes to bite Sam's lips and ears and then pull on them real hard. Sampson's so laid back that he just lays there. It's a funny sight. Savannah doesn't seem crazy about Chachi, but Chachi really likes her. She does like to crawl all over Sam. She really really likes to sit on his back and rock like she's riding her rocking horse. And, of course, he just lays there.

Rick started his new job at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. He'll be on the day shift and it's an 8 on/6 off job...meaning he'll work 8 days and have 6 days off. So, it's like a vacation every other week. We think it's wonderful, and it's so much better for Savannah. He's really happy about it. Plus, the hospital he was working at here in McKinney is allowing him to work there on some of his days off as he's needed. So, that's nice, too.

Anyway, there's an update for ya'll. I won't wait two months to update again.
