The Mehaffeys

Andruw is now a Wolf!

Andruw crossed over last night with boyscouts. He’s no longer a Tiger Cub. Now he is a Wolf! He’s excited about advancing to the next level. I am going to be helping to co-lead Andruw’s den next year. Looking at the book for next year, we will have a whole lot of fun things to accomplish so he can earn his Wolf Badge!

We have a few activities for this summer as well. We will be marching up Crazy Horse, getting a day at the local waterslides, visiting Rushmore Cave and camping out with the other families in his pack (let’s hope Savannah cooperates for that one). Savannah will be closer to being a year old by then, so hopefully it won’t be too stressful of a campout (at least it’s only one night if it is). I’ll post pictures of Andruw crossing over in the next few days!

Savannah’s First Tooth!

Savannah’s first tooth poked through yesterday morning. She has a tooth coming in on the bottom. It looks like it could be two coming at the same time, but she doesn’t cooperate enough to see. Everytime I move that bottom lip, she sticks her tongue out!   It’s still kind of hard to see… but you can definately feel it! It’s hard to believe how quick she’s growing up!

She’s not far from cruising the furniture. She pulls herself up almost effortlessly on the coffee table and her crib! She’s able to hold on with only one hand and shake a toy with the other without falling down. It won’t be long until she’s follow Andruw around the house!

Standing Up and First Words

Savannah had a very busy day today! She was babbling and out came “Dada” and what sounds like “Daddy.” She’s a little confused since it should have been “Mama” due to yesterday being Mother’s Day. So I guess next month we’ll here “Mama” for Father’s Day!

She also finally made it to her feet while pulling up on the furniture. She’s been pulling up onto her knees for a while now, but until today she couldn’t quite get those feet underneath. She’s done it twice so far today! It’s just a matter of time until she’s cruising and then walking!

She’s already crawling everywhere. Anything on her level is fair game unless you keep a close eye on her. Her favorite things to chase down are the dogs and Daddy’s computer cords. That mouse cord drapped down from his laptop is a movement motivator! Andruw is still loving his sister and loving playing with her! He’s a great help entertaining her when I have to make dinner or do some laundry. She just lights up when she sees her big brother!
