Sissy Boo

Savannah Pearl, aka Sissy Boo, Boo Boo, Boo's, Mary or Little Mary as Lyla refers to her (we still don't know why we all must call Savannah "Mary") and Boo Boo Ca-chew. She responds to it all. This girl is spunky. Everything is hilarious to her.

She took her first steps on Sunday. Matt and I were with her in the kitchen and Matt stood her up about three feet in front on him and she walked right to him. She started screaming and laughing and clapping. She was through the roof proud of herself. It was awesome to see her recognize that special moment.

Savannah picks on Lyla big time. Lots of casual hair pulling and toy taking. Lyla reacts everytime and Savannah laughs. It's one big game to Savannah. I get it. She is one and just trying to figure out how this world is all put together. Her and Lyla are gonna have to sort that out to some degree. They are sisters. Sisters figure that stuff out on their own. They love each other and I can see that through the enormous number of hugs and kisses they exchange throughout the day. It's sweet and makes my heart hurt from all the cuteness. Lyla's voice will get stronger soon in this situation. I have no doubt.

I think Lyla is surprised by all of the changes Savannah is making. Savannah will now go get things for Lyla. This has been a wonderful discovery for Lyla. She is also pretty excited that her and Savannah can ride tractors together. They now share a room at night and Lyla has taken to the being the little helper with Savannah. Lyla told me "I'm just happy i can be there so in case sissy drops something at night I can just get right up and get it for her." She is ready and willing to help sissy at a moments notice. They are gonna have a good time together for sure.

Savannah is a sweet cuddly little person. She is a hugger.

She says a few words but let me tell you, this girl growls A LOT. She growls at everyone and everything. We have tried and tried to teach her animal sounds but she just growls for every animal.

She loves to be chased and she sqeeks and snorts as she is trying to get away.

She is over the moon in love with Charlie. Hugs, hugs and more hugs. She loves that dog.

Savannah has some fire in her eyes. She is determined. It is so clear even at 13 months.

Love this sweet little Sissy Boo!
