Brantley and Savannah as so very excited about baby Ryleigh! They look forward to having a new baby sister and talk about her all the time. We pray for her every night at bedtime which I think is just the sweetest thing in the world.
Last weekend it was warm enough for the girls to wear pretty dresses so we took them to the Botanical Gardens to snap some pictures of them at this age before life gets a bit more hectic with little bit in arms. So here they are....
This is such a sweet (and rare) picture of these two together. I pray that they will grow closer in relationship with one another each and every day. They can be and are so sweet to others but to each other they struggle a good bit. Lord, please grow their hearts together so that this is the love between them that is seen most often. Please!
This morning the girls and I are on our own because Daddy is having to work today. Bummer! But after making yummy, Cinnamon Applesauce Pancakes for breakfast, we started playing. (I'll have to post the recipe for the pancakes at the end because they were delicious!)
Brantley sang a few of her favorite songs for me.....
And Savannah rolled over on video for the first time....
I will warn you, this one is long but the girls are too cute not to share. This is the second day for Savannah to be practicing and perfecting these skills. I'm so excited for her because, I'll admit, I was getting a little worried that she hadn't done either yet. Brantley is such a camera hog and just loves to be the center of attention...boy does she have a lot to learn. haha! Chase had to have a little talk with her last night about sharing with Savannah. SC was playing with (aka. holding) a toy and BR walked right up to her and took it away. Now SC didn't care but in time that is not going to fly and B-Rae is going to have to take turns and share with her. Anyways, that's all for now. I hope you enjoy watching these videos of our cutie pies!
In other news, Savannah took at hour and a half long nap this morning. YAY!! I've actually realized that I think the 3-4oz of coffee I've been drinking every morning for the past 5 months may have been a big contributor in Savannah's bad sleep habits. Oops!! I really didn't think that little amount would be affecting her, but the past 2 days I've held off and she has slept much better. I'm struggling without my morning jump start but if it means that SC will be able to sleep better then I'll deal with it and my body will adjust, I hope.
We love the little playground/park that is really close to our house. It's so clean and convenient. The playground is great! I like the the ground is covered with that rubber stuff instead of bark, rocks or sand. There is also a big parking lot next to it where kids can ride bikes and scooters. This is great because our little circle in front of our house is not flat enough for Brantley to ride her bike so we've decided to take her there to ride, or be pulled, since she still can't reach the pedals all that well.
She loves to ride her bike. We bought it for her 2nd birthday but she still can't ride it by herself since she's not quite tall enough to push the pedals. She's getting really close though now because she's getting taller. My sweet girl will be 3 in January. Ahh!
One day last week, I took the girls there for a picnic. We ate and Brantley played. It was great! The weather was perfect!
I LOVE this picture so much! The sisterly love is growing more and more everyday even though Savannah is still so young. Brantley loves her baby sister and tells her often. It melts my heart!
Nothing like yummy "Chick-a-lay" at the park on a beautiful day!
Brantley loves to swing! Always has and I'm sure she always will.
