Veetnam!

Savannah so looked forward to coming to Viet Nam, or as she so cutely calls it, Veetnam! She's certainly been the most amazing traveller, doing well on the loooong plane ride, adjusting well to the 12 hour time change, and to her new crash pad at the hotel. Couldn't ask for a better two year old, that's for sure! And despite the occasional tears that are perfectly normal in adjusting to such a life-changing experience as becoming a big sister instead of an only child, she is truly stellar in her new role.

Here she is, touring around Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, and helping to bathe her sister.

Happy Hallowe'en!

Our little chipmunk just loved trick or treating, at least, until we got to the house with the chainsaw recording. Then, it was game over!

My Little Genius!

Our little genius knows left from right, her colours, numbers to 20, how to count on her fingers, and how to run the show here. We love her to pieces!

Garderie Amusante!

Savannah absolutelyh LOVES her daycare. She does such fun things there. Every day, she returns with 2 'couettes', and often, with crafts, and a big big smile. And of course, her 1st face painting!

What I Did this Summer

After a hard day of play, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Foop Woops and Happy Campers

Savannah has discovered the joys of Foop Woops!

Our happy little camper just loves the outdoors, and she's such a joy to camp with! It's fun to see nature's wonder through her eyes, and to enjoy the little things that could so easily and inadvertently be taken for granted.

She and her Papa have a blast together!

By the way, for you, our loyal blog followers, here's a link that'll be of interest. Check it out!

Butterfly Terror

Unbelievable how time flies - it feels like this blog was just updated, but it was months ago! Savannah's grown so much, in mind and body, and socially. We can have little conversations now, and get meaningful answers to our questions of her. Fun!

We went to Niagara Falls for Vanessa's dance competition (she and her team did very well - bravo!), and Savannah loved the waterpark at the hotel. What she didn't like? The butterfly, who landed on her stroller, and then, oh terror of terrors, on her trusty green 'tat'! oh NO!!!

Luckily, she's ok now. Phew! Here she is, watching her Baba pop bubbles with his bubblegum. The hilarity is priceless!

And she sure knows how to have fun, dancing with Maman in our 'twin' rainbow threads. Waaaay cool!

Two!

Our little girl is 2! Unbelievable how fast times flies now that Savannah's here. She celebrated a great birthday with tante Elaine, Nanna, Poppa, Grandpapa, and of course Grandmaman. Her 'under the sea' cake was fantabulous!

Savannah sings a ton of songs now, including "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in Mandarin and English, Frere Jacques, Le tournesol, ABC, and a few others. She strings together long sentences, and sure can let the world know what she wants.
