First day of many firsts...

I just dropped off Savannah at her first day of first grade! This is a new school for her as she went to a small private kindergarten for only three days a week last year....a decision I am so thankful for even more today! She was SO excited this morning! I was just about to go wake her up and she ran into my room fully dressed with eyes not even adjusted to the light yet!

My parents came and got Caroline yesterday afternoon so we could do some special things with Savannah and get ready for the first day. She chose to eat Italian food where she ordered cheese ravioli with no sauce. We then went to her favorite icecream place where there are endless free sprinkles for the kids! After that we took her to her school playground where she explored where she will be for recess. She kept saying, "this is awesome!" We then sat on a park bench and all took turns praying for her school year. I made it through about three words before I started crying. :) After that we came home to get ready for this morning. She wanted the same lunch I packed her last year on the first day, so that is what I did. She had a heart shaped turkey & cheese sandwich with mustard, apple berry fruit salsa (which she helped us make) with cinnamon pita chips, a gogurt, flips crackers and a flavored water pouch. She wanted to make sure she still got her notes on her napkin....put a smile on this mamas face to know that she still wanted that!!

She confidently walked into her classroom all smiles this morning! We are so proud of her and just pray that she has a great year!

Walker is 3 months old!

Time flies when you are having fun....and BOY are we having fun! I can't believe it has been three months since this precious little one was born! We have enjoyed every minute of him. Here are some highlights:

*Watching him interact with his sisters....he ADORES them and always has a big smile while they are talking to him in their little high pitched voices.

*He is rolling over on his sides, but has not made it all the way from his back to front just yet.

*While on his tummy this week he did roll onto his back....although it was not intentional

*Walker is getting so much stronger everyday! He manages to scoot across his play mat like a little inch worm.

*He is cooing, "singing", and starting to laugh some.

*He still loves his swing, bouncy seat, and play mat the best.

*He is still nursing every 2 and a half to 3 hours during the day if he is awake. He usually naps several times a day with one long 3 to 4 hour nap if we are home. He sleeps about twelve hours at night.

*He still loves to be swaddled to go to bed, but gets his arms out during the night and sucks on his hand.

*His Dr. said that the right side of his head is becoming flattened and we need to work on getting him to sleep more on the left. This has proven to be a challenge!

* His eyes are still blue, but we are starting to see some streaks of a darker color near the centers. My guess is still that they will turn brown like Caroline's.

*His sweet little hair is still a strawberry blond color! Some days it looks very red and others it looks more brown. We will see!

*right now we think he looks like Caroline in the eyes and has Savannah's mouth and chin. He definitly has his own little look!

*Everyone told me to wait and see how much a little boy can tug on a mommy's heart.....I get it now! I love this sweet little boy!
