We have a new front tooth as of today, which explains a lot of the complaining the past few days. I think the second front tooth should be here soon.
As most of you know, Conor and I went to rival schools – he to the University of Texas and myself to Texas A&M University. This has posed quite a challenge for our baby girl as we both want her to be a fan of OUR team.
The battle has been quite civil within our family for the sake of a happy household, but friends of ours have been bombarding the house with branded apparel. Not that I mind, as Savannah outgrows things every day.
I will now present part I of our contest. In the name of fairness and good sportsmanship, I will begin with UT. (I will also be reshooting some of her pictures this week as she wasn’t in the best mood when I was taking these). YOU get to be the judge of which colors she looks best in. A poll will appear soon.
Pros for UT:
- Yes, they won the national championship in football last year. Also, as much as it pains me to write, they have beaten A&M the last five years in football.
- They were recently voted the nation’s #1 party school (this could also be listed as a con, I suppose).
- Austin is a great city, probably the best in Texas.
- Famous Longhorns? Lots of them. Janis Joplin, Walter Cronkite, Michael Dell (of Dell Computers) plus about a bazillion others in sports, science, etc.
- A great school in lots of areas. I didn’t go to UT and don’t care for them, so it’s hard for me to come up with a list of pros. I’m sure there are a bunch more. Longhorns, please feel free to put some in the comments section.
Cons for UT:
- I could go on and on and on with cons – they would probably degenerate into personal attacks, so I just won’t start. Just know that cons exist.
The Deible cousins are going to send her some Purdue stuff. It is her Grandfather’s school too.
savannah’s so darn cute she even looks good in that icky burnt orange color 
can’t wait to see how more beatiful she looks in the maroon and white!
Dear Savannah,
Your father and I would like to apologize in advance. We have just realized that Halloween is coming up and that we get to dress you in whatever we want. You also know you’re going to be photographed to death right?
Love,
mama and daddy
She may not crawl and her vocabulary consists of “mmmmmm” and the occassional “Ba” or “Meeeeee” but she knows her toys. meet Ducky:
He’s really not evil, the horns are just an unfortunate accessory choice. (But great for chewing!)
Today I lined him up with some other toys and asked Savannah “Where’s Ducky?” and she picked him out right away. Yea Savannah! She did it three times and then, in her own subtle way, let me know she was done being tested. ‘MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”
