Growing up fast



Well, I have heard many people say that when the second child comes along, the first one will suddenly seem so much bigger and grown up than you ever thought they were. It seems as though Savannah has really grown over night. I don't know if it's just the vying for attention, but this child has suddenly become amazing vocal and rambunctious. No longer is just sitting on the living room floor with some of her toys enough to keep her occupied. We are now into anything and everything, and all at the same time. She is more than willing to jump right into the middle of anything we are doing, even if it's cleaning the house. And talking...oh man. Words are popping out of her every other minute that I never imagined she could say. Many times she just repeats whatever we have said (with amazing clarity I might add), but many times she just breaks out with some phrase we've never even taught her. For instance, the other day, Tarah and I awoke in the morning to the words "Momma, where are you?", which she then repeated with "Daddy, where are you?" One her new favorite phrases I know she picked up from our play times is, "I got you". Savannah is also loving her new role as big sis. She seems so mature whenever she gets around Gavin. She loves to hold him in her lap, and she loves to give him kisses. I'll try to post some more pics in a little while. I must say that it is true. The first child does grow up fast when the new one comes along.

Oh, Sweet Savannah!! Growing up fast! I do remember vividly how this was true for Isaac when Julia was born. Enjoy EVERY second with them both. With two the times seems to fly by even faster!
