Grammie's Here!

Yay! Grammie's here!!! Grammie flew in from NC to hang out with her favorite toddler, daughter and son n law for one week. Savannah was spoiled by eating out frequently (rare in our household) with Grammie and Mommy while Daddy had to be at work. Grammie took us shopping and Sav introduced her to all of her favorite local spots. Grammie's birthday is the day before Savannah's. Mommy and Sav treated her to dinner and a day at the spa to celebrate her special day. Then, Grammie got to celebrate Savannah's 2nd Birthday with us at Gymboree the next day! We tried to talk Grammie into moving out to Las Vegas. Only time will tell, right Grammie??? WE LOVE YOU, GRAMMIE! Thanks for everything you did for us. Sav LOVES her new easel and books! Can't wait to see you at the beach this summer (and in a few days on Skype).

Savannah's SECOND Birthday!!!

Savannah had her 2nd Birthday at Gymboree! Gymboree is one of her favorite places to play. She had a blast with her friends while she sang, danced, climbed and played with the parachute. After playing, Sav and her friends enjoyed her Yo Gabba Gabba cake and opened her presents. She was thankful to have Grammie join her for her party who flew in from NC. Grammie stayed the week with us and joined in on our fun routine (including Sav's appointment for her 2 year annual check up). Savannah continues to top the charts for height, weight and head circumference. It's amazing to see how much she has grown over the past year! She is definitely the daughter of two giant parents. ;) We love you, Savannah! Thanks for putting so much excitement into our lives. Enjoy the pics, everyone!

Christmas 2011

Ethel M's Chocolate Factory and Garden Light Display

Visit with Pop Pop

Pop Pop visited us for the past 9 days to celebrate our early Christmas! Pop Pop went with us to the Winter Wonderland at Opportunity Village to see the lights and Christmas decorations. We also made it out to see the Ethel M's Chocolate Factory's Christmas lights display. Sav was amazed at all of the lights and Christmas characters. You would have thought it was Christmas morning by the way she reacted to the scenery. We took several trips to the park and showed Pop Pop a few of our favorite restaurants. Time flew by and it's hard to believe that our week has come to an end. Come back to see us soon Pop Pop! We love you and thank you for all that you did for us! Merry Christmas!

21 months

It's so hard to believe that my baby girl will be TWO in a few months. Where has the time gone? I know people always tell me to cherish every moment because time flies. But, I never thought it would go by this fast. Savannah is growing up to be such a smart, beautiful little girl. She amazes Gregg and I with her ability to absorb information. She is talking as if she is 3 years old vs. 21 months. Savannahs's favorite things to do at this point in time are singing, dancing and "acting". When I ask her if she is going to be an actress, she will fake cry or intentionally fall down...followed by a belting laugh. Savannah continues to love to read and listen to music. Her height & weight remain in the 95th percentile. It's been amazing to watch how fast she grows and develops. I wish I had more current pictures but as many people know, toddlers are VERY active. She will barely stay still long enough to eat/drink so you can only imagine how difficult it is to get a picture. ;)

Visit with Grandmama & Grandaddy

We have to give Grandmama & Grandaddy a BIG THANK YOU for coming out to Vegas from NC and hanging out with/caring for Savannah while mommy and daddy took some time away in Cabo to celebrate their anniversary. Grandmama & Grandaddy were with Savannah for SIX days. This was the first time Sav was away from mommy and daddy and she did excellent! Sav LOVES her grandparents and they were wonderful with her while we were gone. According to Grandmama, they had an awesome time and had a chance to bond with her in ALL aspects. Wink! Mommy and Daddy were VERY GREATFUL to them for flying all the way from NC to visit and take care of Savannah. Savannah misses them so much & can't wait to see them again next year.

Halloween 2011

This was Savannah's 2nd Halloween! On the bright side, she had Grandmama and Grandaddy to celebrate the holiday. It was obvious that her costume was more for mommy & daddy because Savannah was NOT having it! She loved the character Foofa from Yo Gabba so we thought this would be a good idea for a costume. Nope, she told us how it was going to be! So, we rolled with the flow. Sav bargained with mommy and agreed to wear the hat portion of the costume and we trick or treated around the neighborhood. Once Sav got used to the concept of trick or treating (by the 2nd to last house), it was time to go home (to be expected for a toddler). All in all, she had a great time, as did her grandparents watching her and the other cute trick or treaters. For the next few weeks, Savannah was repeating "Chuck E Cheese" (her way of trying to say trick or treat). I love my baby girl!
