Well, this post has been a long time coming since Savannah turned 2 in January. Since I lasted posted about her at about 18 months, she has changed a lot. She has turned into a little girl, talking a lot more, and developing a little spitfire personality. She knows what she wants and will scream to get it. She loves her family. She loves Jack and wants to do and copies everything that he does. She is starting to love Jason, but still wants me if she is scared or sad. We are little buddies. Lately, she has taken to copying everything I do when I get ready in the morning. She loves to put lotion on her face and hands, comb her hair and pretend to put on makeup. She loves to play in the tub while I get dressed. She is scared of loud big things such as, tractors, big trucks, even the beeping that trucks do when they back up will get her nervous. She doesn't like my blow dryer either. She is terrified, but fascinated by bugs. Today, we were laying on a blanket in the front yard and I was laying there and she was walking around and she screamed so loud I thought her arm was chopped off all because she saw a spider scurrying along the porch. She seriously screamed so loud and was just terrified when I picked her up and even after I had killed the spider. Her speech has not developed normally. She didn't really talk for awhile and when she did start talking a lot, she didn't follow the normal pattern. She can say anything, but will only say it if she wants to say it. She loves babies and putting them down for "nigh-nigh". She also will hold her babies and cradle their heads and say "shhh". That is funny to me because she really hasn't been around too many babies or seen me with very many babies so I think it is something that is inside of her. She seems to be a nurturing personality. She and Jack and getting to be really cute together and will play a lot more often now. Jack really loves her and cares about her. We were in St. George for Easter and Savannah got her head stuck in the bars on my grams porch. Jack came running in, almost in tears, for me to come get her out. That was really great to see the love that he has for her, without him really even knowing it. She has a beautiful crooked little smile and is mostly very happy. She is very dramatic and will make such funny faces.... surprised, mad, happy, anything really on command. Because she has been slow to talk, we often ask Jack's opinion on things and lately she has been saying "ME TOO!" to anything we ask him. She loves animals, dogs and cats especially. She loves Goie (Zoe) and our kitty and will play with them more than anyone else in the house. She loves to dance and also play any sport that Jack is playing. She shrugs her shoulders for no apparent reason and loves to be involved in the family. She loves family home evening and asks for it every night. She loves to eat and will eat Jack's lunch if he is too busy watching TV to get to it. Overall, she is turning into a lovely little two year old and I love having her in the family. I am excited to add another little child. These kids are the best things I have ever done and I look forward to watching Savannah as she grows into the girl she will become.
