"Caged" Canon


Did I mention that Canon is into "caging" and his rope. He couldn't free himself from this one. At least that is what he said. I wonder how long it would have kept him in there. If I had known what he was up to, right behind me, I wouldn't have offered him his chicken nuggets and left him in there :) But you know how that is, things are too quiet and you just wonder what is going on!

The "Caged" Frog



I was doing something on the computer last night, probably checking e-mail or Facebook :) when Canon brought me his "caged" frog. "I just like caging my frog" he said. Wow, that frog is going NO WHERE! It was so sad to see that sweet little, soft floppy frog shackled by those wrenches. And then the rope job that tied those wrenches to the barn! Only a picture could even begin to show his work of art. I asked him to put it on the kitchen table so I could take a picture. Seth wasn't home, and I didn't want him to miss this, in case it was disassembled by the time he got home. As soon as he had him put it on the table he proceeded to tie what was left of the rope to the table. Poor Froggy. Not sure what he did to earn this treatment. But he was obviously forgiven by this morning, because he was loosed and put in the back pack for our morning errands. Canon is so funny with that rope. It is one of his favorite toys. It is everything from his fishing pole to a tow rope to his "caging" tool as illustrated above. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for Savana. Speaking of Savana, she is finally walking!! She finally took steps to me during the Super Bowl and has been practicing here and there all week. She can walk for as long as she wants without falling usually, but we are still working on getting her in the habit of walking. We are so happy that she will at least walk, as long as you make it more of a game than something we want her to do. I'm going to try and upload video of her walking if I can figure it out.

Stars & Independence

We have some independent thinkers, but that's good right? That's what we want them to be! Savana has figured out that she has an opinion and is ready to express it. Canon has been expressing his since he was born. Savana has decided that she likes pajamas and would rather not be changed out of them. Yesterday morning she was so mad that I changed her that she was trying to put her pajamas back on after she was dressed. So I put the sleeves back on, and she was happy. Then I tried to put her shoes on, and she wanted her boots. She even chose her purple hair clip and tried to put it in. That morning Canon decided that he was going to have dry Grape-Nuts for breakfast. He also wouldn't open his eyes for a picture. I did catch one eye peeking to see if I had taken the picture. They must have met in the night and decided to declare Independence Day. Hey, what ever - as long as he will eat and she has clothes on!

Savana has a fun new game too. Obviously sticker and stars. It is nice that there is something that will keep her entertained, we just have a lot of little stickers all over the house. She also loves to put them on anyone who will sit close enough. Star also became one of her few words. She now says ball, star, shoe, dada, mama, more, and ready set go! The ready set go is a game Seth started. He says: "Ready, Set" and then she says "Go!" and he tosses her on the couch or bed. So now if you are holding her she says "Ready, Set, Go" and wants to be tossed.
