Savannah is 22 Months Old

How is it possible that we are only two months away from a second birthday? Savannah is talking (and repeating) lots. Most of her talking is one word, labeling but she can communicate a lot of her needs and wants (which takes out a lot of the guess work), Her favorite word continues to be "NO". We are working on the sounds that animals make. So far horse, duck, dog, sheep, cow and pig seem to be her favorite although she likes to say "hippo". We are also working on colors and letters, but everything is "yellow" or "o". Savannah continues to be a pretty picky eater, but she is eating plain noodles, cucumbers and had a hummus sandwich for lunch (we are happy with the successful baby steps). She is still a self-proclaimed vegetarian eating only cheese, milk and a very occasional egg. Savannah continues to love all things Minnie Mouse, books, balls and swimming. She has four stuffed animal friends that the favorite seems to rotate by day. They have very original names: Ducky, Bear, Baby and Minnie! These four sleep with her and are on continued rotation for playtime. Savannah also requests to wear dresses and has just started asking to wear a  bow in her hair. (Partly, because I told her that Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck and her baby all wear bows!) She just started saying "mommy" and "daddy", which is sweet sounding, even when it is over and over and over... 22 months is a little different as her leg is still in a cast from her toes to her mid thigh. Hopefully we have only a few more weeks!

We continue to enjoy watching Savannah grow and change, especially when it seems like daily she can do or say something new!
