Stern Family pictures

Tyler, TX

Savannah made her first trip to Texas in August, she had a great time playing in the DFW airport in between flights, then spent the rest of the trip trying to keep cool.

I (heart) Cousin Naomi

In honor of cousin Naomi's adoption next week, Savannah put together some of her favorite pictures with Naomi this summer.

Showing Naomi how to use the toys

Savannah hugging Naomi (Savannah thinks hugging is rubbing her head against yours.)

Payback for all the hair pulling Savannah inflicted on Naomi

Just hanging out with G'ma Fischer

Beautiful Naomi

Cousin's Weekend 2011

Savannah's paternal cousins (and aunts, uncles, and grandparents) made the trip to the lake in August for the second annual cousin's weekend.  It was loads of fun!

Hello?

Savannah apologizes for being lax in her posting.  She had a terrific summer, filled with lots of time at the lake, family time and ruling the playground of Chicago.  Here are the Fischer family photos that were taken at the end of the summer.  Many more photos of the summer to follow.

14 month updates

Loads of pictures will be coming, we got very busy around here the last month.  In the meantime, that girl continues to amaze us with her development everyday. 

Her list of her words:

 

uP (she puts a lot of stress on the "p" sound)

dan (down)

nannah (banana and Savannah)

MaMA (stress on the last "ma")

dada (she knows Jon comes home second and yells it in delight when the door opens when I am feeding her dinner)

bubba (buddy the cat)

a du (all done)

and who can forget aba (agua but also leche/milk)

 

Most amazing is she understands what we are telling her. More and more if she isn't doing what we say it is because she is ignoring our direction, not because she doesn't know what we are asking/telling.  But most of the time she is very good at listening and following directions.  

 

I need to get a video of her pointing out her body parts, she is really good at pointing out her nose, teeth, tongue, foot, hair, ear, eye and head.  She can also point to those parts on us if we ask. 

 

Her favorite book for nap time/bed time is Pajama Time by Sandra Boynton, but Time for Tom (Veggie Tales book) is a close second.  Her animal book is her favorite to read herself, she opens it right to the lion and roars every time.

 

She is still a tall, skinny string bean...and cute as always! 

Bubbles!
