Bubbles and sidewalk chalk...

these are two of Savannah's new favorite things. I have to hide them because if she seems them she MUST play with them! We spent a lot of time outside on the back patio over the long weekend. :)

This week we're painting and getting a new nursery ready for Campbell's arrival in September. I'll post pictures as we make progress.

Do Dah Day

For those of you not from Birmingham, Do Dah Day is an annual festival/fundraiser for the Humane Society celebrating pets. Our friends Adrian and Ryan have the good fortune to live within a couple of blocks of the festival and they are nice enough to host a brunch beforehand every year. We all had lot's of fun and Savannah said "puppy!" at least 500 times throughout the day. Madison and Stoli did come with us, although after the fact we decided that two dogs, a toddler and a pregnant woman was a lot to handle and two dogs, a toddler and a baby might just push us over the edge, so the dogs may miss the fun next year. :(

Savannah at School

Savannah goes to a children's day out program two days a week at a local church. For mother's day they sent home packets of pictures of her and the other kids playing. Here are some of the best pictures. Enjoy!

Growing up fast!

Despite a weekend of being kind of sick and incredibly whiney and grumpy, Savannah continues to amaze us with all of the new things she says. We count the steps every time we walk up them, so she knows how to count to 12 (although she sometimes leaves out one and ten and "six seven" sounds like one number) but yesterday I was holding her hands so she could jump off of the back of the car. I told her to count and she said "one, two, three" and jumped with NO prompting! Also, at one point this weekend she crouched down, said "ready, set, go" and starting running around! We really never know what is going to come out of her mouth next!

It's a

GIRL! I am shocked...I was convinced it was a boy! We are thrilled that Savannah will have a little sister. Her name will be Campbell Anne Basgier. Campbell is my mother's maiden name and Anne is Joe's grandmother's middle name.

Here are some pictures...

Today is the day!

I'll post a gender announcement and new ultrasound pictures this evening!!!!! We should be home by 5:00.

Savannah has been sick since Saturday night with a fever and the occasional (and unexpected) throwing up. She is fine during the day but the fever pops up in the evenings and that seems to upset her stomach. Hopefully we'll be on the mend soon! We can't catch up on laundry for all of the...ummm..."priority" laundry. :)

Quote of the week: "I didn't expect having a child to involve so much throw up."
