June 2009

Here are some updates:
Savannah is now 3 1/2 months old. She is still sleeping through the night!!! She falls asleep around ten and wakes up again around six to eat, and then falls back asleep until around nine or so. I don't know when this gravy train is going to end, since she's had this routine for about two months now. She's eating very well, and is generally a super content, smiley baby. She has a few more moments of crabbiness than she used to, but still, not that much! She likes to sit in her bumbo and on her play mat, but not for too long. This is a baby who wants to be HELD all the time!!

Scarlett will be 2 1/2 in August. She is feisty, funny and sometimes a little bit bratty. (But we love her anyway) She's talking up a storm and says the funniest things: yesterday I was taking her to timeout and she said, "No way, Mommy!" Very hard not to laugh! She could use some help on her pronunciation, though. For example, "Mac n cheese" comes out "applecheese" and pillow is "pittow". Savannah is "shashanna." We took her to the dentist for the first time and she has a little bit of an overbite from her pacifier, but the dentist said that it will shift back once the paci is gone. So... yes, we pulled the plug. (Haha) I'm not so heartless that she can't have it at nighttime, but we are on a strict no daytime plug policy. Scarlett is NOT liking this change of events and we've had quite a few time outs while we wait for her to get used to the idea. She finished three rounds of gymnastics and we've moved on to swim lessons. Her teacher is very impressed and has already graduated her to the next class. When we get back from hawaii next month, her teacher wants to bump her up even higher. Right now she can swim five feet underwater by herself. She's quite the little fish! The only problem is that she gets so excited underwater that she opens up her mouth to smile and ends up swallowing a lot of the water.

Juan is off work for the summer, and doesn't go back until the day after labor day. So far we've been doing projects around the house and entertaining the kids, with a quick trip to San Francisco thrown in. Right now we're busy getting ready for our two weeks in Hawaii. I go back to work August 17th (I think, I should probably clarify that :) ) but only Tues/Thurs for around four hours a day. I'm glad that my schedule is light because I will miss being home.

So that's what's going on with us! Sorry for the random order of the pictures, organizing is my least favorite thing to do!! :) This is basically how our June has been-- hanging out at the house and enjoying Savannah's smiles and Scarlett's silliness!!
