Savannah at 4

I've been trying to get this post done for a while now. It seems like you have grown and changed so much since your 3rd birthday, and when I go back and look at pictures it really confirms that.

At 4 years old...
*Have gotten very independent and enjoying being a big girl.
*Have grown so tall.
*Your hair is getting long; you've only had one hair trimming.
*Love playing with purses, bags, and baby dolls.
*Love playing dress up.
*Can dress and undress yourself. Still need help with shoes and buttons.
*Love tutus and dresses that spin. You *think* you know how to do ballet.
*Enjoy coloring and crafty projects, but not for long.
*Ask for a "playdake" (playdate) with someone all the time.
*Play well with most all kids. You can cousin Rebecca have your fight like sister moments though.
*Enjoy watching any of the Disney Princess movies. Your favorite character seems to change just about every week.
*Switch back and forth from enjoying shows on Disney and PBS kids.
*Still take an afternoon nap on most days.
*Can be very sensitive at times.
*Like going to the park, you have overcome your fear of slides and can just about pump yourself on the swings.
*Love going to your grandparents' houses to play.
*You have to have a book and song before naps and going to be at night.
*Usually play very well with your sister.
*Have adjusted well to living in Birmingham again.
*Still talk about how much fun you had on our trip to Disney World in Feb.
*Usually good at following directions and helping your mother, but are not so good at picking up your things.
*Eat pretty well. Favorites include: chicken, pizza, sandwiches, ice cream, broccoli, strawberries. You often prejudge food and tell me you don't like something before trying it.
*You recognize the letter "S" and a few others, but have not been interested in learning to recognize all the letters when I have tried to teach you.
*You attended a preschool 2 days a week last Fall while we were still living in Madison.
*You love to sing any song you know and often make up songs to tunes you know.
*Have done very well learning memory verses and bible stories in bible class.
*Wear size 4-5. Shoe size 10.

You do not go for your 4 year old checkup until the end of June, so I do not have your official stats yet.

We were able to go out for our annual photoshoot on your birthday. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Gorgeous photos. LOVE the 4 balloons. Perfect touch. She's gorgeous and has grown SO much this year. It's wild how much different they are at 4 than they were when they turned 3, isn't it?
