new adventures in vancouver
While in Vancouver you babies had a lot of Firsts. Grandma Kanooth was all about going to the store and buying you new toys, food, clothes, ext. While at Grandma's you both got your first rattles and other play toys. You loved holding onto the toys or anything for that matter. Savannah you now have to be holding onto something when you eat. Most the time I let you hold my fingers, but you won't drink unless your hands are full.
Grandma also loved feeding the two of you while in Vancouver. Whenever Savannah would cry or Micah would suck on his fist.... Grandma stuck a bottle in your mouths. She loved feeding you both, it was her way of saying that she loves you. Micah loved drinking, and would gulp down any bottle Grandma gave you.
Grandma also bought you both rice-cereal. It was an adventure trying to get you both to drink it. Savannah did pretty well, but got frustrated when the food didn't go down fast enough. Micah cried most the time because he couldn't figure out how to use the spoon. Therefore most of Micah's cereal came back onto the bib. And Savannah's food was on her face. After 2 weeks of intense training you both figured out how to eat from a spoon, and now feeding time is a lot easier.
Another fun thing for Grandma was giving you both a FULL bath; she drenched you!!! But for some reason, you both never cried. Grandma went out and bought a baby bath just for the two of you. Every other day you were given a bath by Grandma. She then lotioned you up and put baby powder all over your bodies. She loved doing this, again it was her way of saying she loved you.

Playing with Daddy in Vancouver
All of August, September, and October were busy months for the two of you. But these 3 months were without your Daddy. Having Daddy fly to Vancouver and spend 4 days with us was such a nice treat for your mother. I was ready to have your father back, and I know he was very excited to see his little twins. Daddy held the both of you every chance he got. For the 4 days he was in Vancouver, I never saw your Daddy not holding one of you. He loved making Micah laugh and playing airplane with Savannah.
Your Daddy loves you both so much. He is such a good Daddy. He loves you.

Your Blessing Day
October 31 is the day you were both blessed. It was such a beautiful day. Your father gave you both wonderful and individual blessings. The spirit was strong and was with your Daddy during the blessings. You were so quite and peaceful as the priesthood holders laid their hands under you both. Neither of you cried or made a sound during the blessings. Tears came to your mother's eyes as Leif blessed you with words of power.
You were both blessed to live righteous lives so you can enter into the temple with a spouse for time and all eternity. Micah, you were blessed to be a strong, spiritual leader, one who can take his place in leadership rolls. You were blessed to be spirally minded all your days.
Savannah, you were blessed to have a strong personality. You were blessed to be a positive influence on others around you. You will be a beacon of light to those you meet. Your influence on others will change lives. You were also blessed to be a wonderful mother in Zion.

Seeing your Daddy Again
October 30th your Daddy flew into Vancouver. The last time you and I had seen him was in August and you were both 6 pounds then. Three months was a long time and I was so excited to see Leif. I was even more excited for him to see the both of you. It took me a long time to decide on a outfit for you, and I gave you both a bath so you would smell really good. Aunt Lairen and myself tried to keep you both awake for when Daddy came in the door. But you both fell dead asleep 30 minutes before his arrival. I ran out to the car to meet him first. We hugged, kissed, and then he asked where his babies were.
You were both sleeping, but Daddy held you anyways. Micah stayed sound asleep and Leif kept commenting on how big, handsome, and perfect you were. But Savannah woke up when Daddy held you. You looked at Daddy and then your bottom lip started to quiver. All of the sudden you let out a huge cry. Daddy didn't know what to do, so he passed you back to me. But you kept crying and continued crying for almost 30 minutes. Aunt Larien then rocked you back to sleep.
The next morning around 6:30 Savannah woke up. You are always really happy in the mornings, so I placed you on Daddy's lap. You were all smiles and laughs while laying in your Daddy's arms. You both played together and Daddy loved it. Micah woke up a little later. We were all together as a family on more time. We love our little family.

Party
On Friday teh 29th you both put on your Halloween customs and went to your first Trunk-Or-Treat ever. Micah was a pumpkin. Savannah was a flower. Mommy and Aunt Becky were matching witches. All of your cousins came dressed up in awesome customs as well. There was a custom contest and dinner. You both should have won, but you were to busy drinking milk that I never entered you. Then by the time everyone went Trunk-Or-Treating, you were both asleep.
Yet, I really wanted candy so I grabbed Savannah, a bag, and visited a couple of cars. Savannah, you really liked trunk-or-treating. And everyone loved your cute little outfit.

Your First Sleep Over
Your cousins Ally & Kaitlyn really wanted to spend extra time with both of you. So they invited you over to spend the night (I got to go too). Aunt Andrea came and picked us up on Wednesday morning. She wanted you both to be there before Ally got home from school.
So we took you both in the stroller and waited at Ally's bus stop. Cousin Ally ran off the bus and over the stroller yelling, "My new cousins." Ally really liked Micah and wanted to hold you every minute. Little Kaitlyn was connected to Savannah and wanted to hold you every minute. They became attached to you both, and by the end of the trip Ally was saying "My Micah", and Kaitlyn was saying, "My Savannah".
Your cousins changed all your diapers, feed you bottles, burped you and held you. You both enjoyed your first sleep over ever. In fact you both slept really well in Jeremy's taxidermy room. And you both had a fun, fun time.
