Update

The girls have been enjoying all the things the Easter bunny brought for them.  Savannah got to try peeps for the first time, and I think it's kind of a love-hate relationship.  She likes the peeps but definitely doesn't like that they make her sticky :)

Savannah Updates:
-She officially started walking the Saturday before Easter weekend (Apr 12th).  She had been taking a few steps here and there before that but would only take about 2-3 steps and then sit down.  That Saturday she officially took off and we haven't been able to slow her down since!
-She's starting to do "arm crosses" with me when I exercise in the morning.  It's pretty cute!
-She can put her finger to her mouth to say "Shh!"
-She signed "eat/food" for the first time yesterday, and can sign "drink" now too
-Her personality is getting stronger and stronger.  I love it!
-She's trying to get down to one nap and it's definitely not my favorite transition.  Her nap schedule is all over the place right now.
-I just found a new tooth tonight!  She's growing a new molar all of a sudden.  What?!

Aurora Updates/Funnies:
-Rori woke up with a cold a couple weeks ago and said, "Mom, my nose smells stuffy."
-Every time she prays right now she says, "Dear Heavenly Father, We're so happy we're treasure hunters..." I asked her why she says that and she told me: "Mom, Heavenly Father is a really great treasure hunter."  Like it was common knowledge and I should know that already :)
-The other day Rori told me, "Mom, I need to go potty.  And I just can't wait to begin!"
-A couple months ago I told Aurora it was time to eat breakfast and she told me, "But mom!  I'm a Sullivan!"  (From Monster's University) I told her Sullivan's have to eat breakfast too ;)
-A few days ago Rori was coming down the stairs outside our condo to get into the car and lost her balance.  She didn't fall down but she said: "If I fall down, I'll hurt my hands like Jesus!"
-Daddy, Rori and I were watching the video I posted of David Archuleta singing "Be Still My Soul".  Rori asked, "Mom?  Who's that?"  I said, "David Archuleta".  And Rori said, "Oh.  He's a cute one."  Very matter-of-fact.  She's a crack up!
-She's still struggling with potty training.  We've been working on this for almost a year.  Seriously.  Maybe we're doing something wrong.  We're still open to suggestions!  I'm sure she'll get there eventually, but it's still a struggle in the mean time.  Ugh!
-She's starting to learn more letters--when she'll sit down and practice with me.
-She's getting better at coloring and drawing pictures too!

And just for kicks, here are some more random pictures of the girls from April, most of which are of Savannah:
Rori wearing empty tissue boxes for shoes.  I love her crazy, curly, morning hair!

I made Rori some pipe cleaner glasses.  They were crooked at first, but they still looked cute ;)

But Rori prefers a spy glass.  Of course! ;)

Another new favorite is playing on the computer.  She attempts to type on the keyboard every chance she gets!

And yet another of Savy's fav's is the bathtub--whether there's water in it or not, it doesn't matter!  And she can climb in all by herself too.

Savannah got a toothbrush in her Easter basket (finally), and so far really likes brushing her teeth!  Yes, she's wearing skeleton jammies in April.  Don't judge ;)
