The name game

I am SO bad about keeping this up...not too sure why! I could always find things to write about...but seem to not find the time or ambition to do it! I think part of it is, it is so time consuming...especially when uploading pictures. But I really really really want to be better at this for Saffryn's (and my sake) later on. So much to document and remember!

Ok moving on...

Saffryn is growing like a WEED! LOL. Really she is. I am not talking only physical, but mentally too! She just does so many things now! She learns new words all the time! She can say: Gigi, Momma, Daddy, Crash, Abbie (pronounced Abba), (We have tried the other Aunts and Uncles names, but they seem to be too hard for her), Up, Ya, Water, Kitchen, doggy, dirty, hi, hungry, help. Now to be fair her pronounciation is not perfect but she is trying very hard to say these things and understands the meaning! She is still using signs for some things and is responding to a lot of directions! I can tell her we need to go upstairs for something and she walks to the stairs. I say get your special bunny and she finds him. I can say we need to go to the kitchen and she walks to the kitchen! So amazing!

She also likes to scream. A. LOT! She has always been a loud baby but wow! She has got some pipes on her! Sometimes she does it because she is excited, other times frustrated, other times she is doing it for a reaction. I am never totally sure how to respond, but I try to do the best I can and help her learn that screaming will not get you what you want!

I could write a lot about her, but sufficient to say she is such a sweet girl FULL of personality! She could not fit more in line with her name (Saffron a spice)! She is spicy, in a good way!!! LOL :) We just love her.

Now on for Jr. Jr.!!!! We had our sonogram on the 2oth and got to see a PENIS!!! LOL Its a boy! Dan was so proud! We are of course thrilled. One question I keep getting is: "will you keep this name a secret like you did with Saffryn's?" Well the answer is yes, though it is a moot point! We don't have a name picked out yet!!!!

I know we still have time, several months but it is just kind of bugging me! With our two dogs and Saffryn their names just came to us! We both liked them right away and it just fit. It was almost like an "ah ha" moment. We haven't had that yet. Does that mean we just haven't found the right name? I don't know... Dan seems to think that maybe it doesn't work like that all the time. Maybe this time it just wont be an "ah ha" moment. But I want the moment! I want us both to love the name and say "yes" this is the one!

But in the mean time, we are playing the name game. Listing off name after name. Spelling it, saying it aloud, feeling it out. This time the name is just so much work! I guess we had it coming considering, "King Tut", "Crash" and "Saffryn" came to us super easily!!!!

But regardless we are thrilled! We love our children (even Crash) and can't wait to continue our journey together!!!! :)
