SGA at 5 and a Half

I completely forgot about documenting Savannah's half birthday milestones!!!!  It wasn't until June as Walker's half birthday was approaching that I realized it had passed.  Ugh!! The days are really flying by too fast!

SGA at 5.5 years (May 8, 2015):
~her speech has improved tremendously!  She still has a lazy tongue, as I like to call it, where her words roll together.  Oftentimes I think it's because she talks too fast and when prompted to slow down she is much easier to understand.
~her vocabulary has grown by leaps and bounds.  Every day she pops out a new "big" word that I've never heard her say before.  One day it was "literally" and the next day it was "coincidence".
~her memory is beyond amazing!!  She vividly recalls events from over two years ago.  She can recite books cover to cover.  Sometimes she will read books to Walker and never miss a word.  She can also recall and sing songs that she's only heard a couple of times.  It really is baffling!
~she has a slight obsession with youTube.  She loves to watch Barbie and Disney princess videos.  And she also likes these crazy homemade videos where two people do the narrating for different toys and act out stories.  The good thing about some of these are that they show her ways to use her imagination when playing with her own toys but on the flip side they're teaching her words like "hashtag" which leads into a whole other realm of conversations.
~her favorite things to do now include: playing with her dolls, Barbies, and princesses; arts and crafts; swimming; tennis; helping in the kitchen; getting pedicures; and having playdates.
~her favorite foods/drinks are spaghetti and meatballs, hotdogs/corndogs, mac and cheese, chicken, yogurt, most fruit, water, and chocolate milk.
~she joined the swim team this summer and although it is a battle to get her to the practices and the meets, I do think she really enjoys the sense of accomplishment after each meet.  Plus she's a really fast little swimmer when she focuses on her form.
~she can ride her bike with no training wheels completely unassisted.  This actually happened several months ago but I don't believe I actually documented it.  
~she has grown to 44 inches tall and weighs about 46 pounds.
~she is beyond excited about summer vacation and starting Kindergarten in the fall!
