Goin' Bannanas

Yesterday, we decided to take a fun family day out and about. We checked out this indoor playnasium called Goin' Bannanas. It's free for kids under a year, so I figured that even if it was way above her level, we weren't out anything. They have a little toddler area with tons of toys for the kids to play with, and it's only for kids under 2 so you don't have to worry about them getting trampled. The majority of the place is full of inflatables of all sorts. They even had one that was for kids under 3, it was really cute. It had no roof, so you could always spot your child. It had about 6 different emergency vehicles for the kids to crawl on, over, and through. At first Savannah wasn't sure about the bounce house, but after a few seconds she had fun. She really had a blast watching the older kids jump all over the place. She would just sit and laugh at them. Here are some videos and pictures from the outing.

First Toddler Casualty

So as Savannah is experimenting with her newfound freedom with mobility, ie; walking or really just wobbling, keeping track of her is a joke. Today she decided that she wanted to play in the bathroom, which of course usually has the door shut. Anyway she went in and took the TV remote toilet swimming.....yeah for curiosity. Can't wait to see what she does next.

A list of her newfound talents:
taking 5 or 6 steps at a time
climbing up on the couches
crawling up and down the stairs
opening and shutting cabinets
eating everything she finds
drinking out of a straw
actually chewing with her 6 teeth

What do you think so far?

So I started working on Savannah's birthday invites and want to know what you think so far. Katie...that means you...especially because I am thinking about using Heritage Makers. Anyway I am still looking for a recent pic to put on the right but give me some input thus far. I need it!

WOW....this is cool

Just a quick post because I think that this is amazing! Disneyland is offering free admission to either of their parks on your birthday in 2009--you have to register and then bring your ID or birth certificate on your bday but I think that this is great. And if you're an annual passholder they give you a gift card to spend in the park! I have never seen them do this before....I'm ecstatic...now I just need to figure out how to get to Disney World next August. Here is where you can register. Seriously if there is anyway you can take advantage of this I highly recommend it.

Randomness

These were taken at IKEA... we were shopping with Desi. This sink was so huge, we had to prove it. Aren't they just cute?

Mom and I had been out shopping looking for snow suits for the kiddos when we go to Utah, and these were our bargain deals. What do you think. This one is cute b/c it has a little dangling star atop the hat.

This next one if obviously more girlie. I think it makes her look like a pink marshmallow.

David's First Birthday

So these were taken back in July, but I hadn't posted them, so here you go. David got this really cute Zebra from his parent's, all the three babies thought it was the coolest thing ever. They all fought over it.

The three cousins with matching outfits.

This was her first experience with a balloon, and as you can see, I think she liked it. I just thought it was adorable the way her eyes were closed.

A Pictorial Update #1

So you got to read the drama of August. Now here are some images to accompany it. This first set was taken at Heritage Park in Cerritos, CA. This is one of my favorite places to photograph. There are just so many different options, unfortunately you won't be able to tell that b/c my daughter was being a poppy head and she didn't want to take pictures. This first one is the only one we have of her smiling.

She just wanted out....



See, I told you that she didn't want to take pictures that day.

She thinks she is a big girl now. She is so excited when she walks its funny.


My friend Susan was playing with her camera settings, I think she actually did this color accent by mistake.


Don't you just love the background...that little water wheel is awesome.

This is just us playing with the camera settings, trying to freeze the water.


I think she thought she was in jail...silly girl!

Just checkin out the settings.
