We've had a pretty easy going March so far. Not much to blog about. Aurora and I have been doing little things each week (with Dar's help when we need it) to get ready for baby Savannah. When we're not cleaning or prepping things (i.e. nesting) we're enjoying just hanging out together, and more recently we've loved PLAYING OUTSIDE again now that the weather has warmed up (I even got a tiny little sunburn yesterday!). It's great to be social again with all our mom friends and their kids who live near us. We really have such great friends in our ward and I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such great and amazing ladies. I know several of you read our blog--you know who you are! Thanks for being such great friends and examples to me. I love you all!
Just to play a little catch-up with our goings-on this month, enjoy some photos! :)
Aurora's preferred way of flossing her teeth at night before bed. Silly girl.
Sunday nap after church. I haven't gotten a picture of them like this in a long time. It's so precious to me!
Talking to herself on both of our phones at the same time. She really likes the echo :)
She loves to sit under the pillows on our bed. Cozy, eh?
I took this picture last Monday--we had to bundle up a bit and there was still a bunch of snow. The snow's all gone now and we've been playing outside without our jackets! Woo-Hoo!
I love this little munchkin of ours. She's so much fun and I love how much she's talking. Here are some of my favorite phrases of hers right now.
"I tid it!"
"Mommy, hold you"
(when she wants to be held)
"Eighteen-sirty, Rori."
(1830 is her favorite number and I'm pretty sure it's from us reading the D&C together--most of the sections are from 1830-something)
"Mommy, I find you."
"Daddy (or Mommy), I miss you."
(She'll say this even when we've been together all day, but especially when Dar gets home from work. Sweet girl.)
"Calm down, William!"
(She picked this up from a neighbor kid telling his dog to calm down when it wouldn't stop barking. She says "William" instead of "will ya?" Haha.)
"Stop it, guys! Stop it, guys!"
(This one cracks us up. She says/sings it to us when we're just having a conversation, not even a heated one. It's seriously hilarious and always makes us laugh--that's probably why she says it so much.)
"Scooz-ee, Vannah."
(Her way of saying "Excuse you, Savannah" when my stomach growls. So funny!)
"Docker check ears. Fun!"
(We've been dealing with 2 consecutive ear infections, then a small rupture in her eardrum since just after Christmas and because I'm at the doctor's so frequently for my pregnancy, Aurora has been getting her ears checked each time we go in. I'm glad she thinks it's fun and exciting to go see our doctor. I don't blame her though. Our doctor really is pretty awesome!)
"Nuggle chair!"
(What she says when it's time to take a nap or at bed time. She loves for me to snuggle and rock her in the rocking chair still. I just love that she requests it!)
DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
