Full diaper

Since we left the tub outside and it filled with rain water, Savita decided to plop into it this afternoon. Problem, she was still wearing her diaper! It soaked up half of the water in the tub :)

Omdat we het badje buiten hadden laten staan en het vol zat met regen water dacht Savita; dan ga ik er maar in zitten. Het enige probleem, ze had haar luier nog aan! Haar luier nam spontaan de helft van het water in het badje op :)

Tiles are in.

Slowly but surely it is starting to look like a room again. The shelves are not fixed yet just put them in for photographic effect. Also still need to do the grout in between the tiles.

Shot 3 times....

Savita got shot 3 times today and is still walking! Talking about being a tough little girl.

Besides the three shots they also took blood for blood lead levels, anemia and other tests.

Boxed in?

All boxed up and ready to go.

Can't remember if I wrote this already, but Savita has two more teeth, the two top ones. It looks like one of her K-9 is coming through too. She's walking continuously and babbles all day long.

Under Construction

The walls and ceiling are back on and painted. We'll try to lay the tiles this week so we can move back into out room. De muren en het plafond zitten er weer aan en er zit een lik verf op. We gaan proberen de tegels deze week te leggen zodat we weer in onze eigen kamer kunnen.

The Cake

Savita heeft het kaarsje zelf uitgeblazen. Het heeft wel een paar haren gekost, maar alas. Savita blew out the candle by herself. It did cost her a couple of hairs, but oh well.

First Birthday!

Pool

It was so hot today we had to bring out the pool. Het was zo heet vandaag dat we het zwembad te voorschijn hebben gehaald.

Hairdo's and don'ts

This is what happens when I leave her with her mom for an afternoon!

Dit krijg je als je haar een middagje bij haar moeder laat!

Hello?

Is it me you're looking for?

'The monster' playing on our bed this morning. Note her light blue cell phone. She holds it to her ear and says something that sounds like 'hello?' or 'hai', just like her papa.

The red bucket we just bought in Guam and is used as her purse. She slips it on her wrist or all the way up her shoulder and then she struts around with it, just like mama.

Milk Experiment

Seems like Savita is growing an inch everyday. She's getting taller, wiser, faster, cheekier, and more inquisitive by the minute. She's working on adding two upper teeth which makes her a little more cranky than usual (eventhough she isn't a cranky tottler at all). Her walking is progressing nicely, she walk most of the time, but she still looks like she has been drinking heavily. Recently Savita has taken to blowing kisses instetad of waving to every one she meets. We started the "milk & cup experiment": we've switched her from baby formula to regular milk, no problem. Switching her from the bottle to a sippy cup has been a bit more of a struggle. She will drink water and juice from a cup, but flat out refuses to drink her milk out of one. Yesterday she didn't drink any milk until I finally broke down in the afternoon and put her milk in a bottle. I don't care how tough you are a whiny child for 10 hrs WILL wear you down...to be continued though.
