Oh Boy! A New Toy!

Happy 6 Month Birthday, Savannah!!!

Today is Savannah's 6 month birthday! She went to the portrait studio to have her pictures taken and she was an ANGEL baby! It was even time for her nap, she is trying to get rid of a cold on top of doing some major teething and you couldn't tell one bit. She was AWESOME!!! No teeth have sprouted yet but I can see some white matter hanging out below the gum line so hopefully we aren't too far away for the first tooth. Savannah can almost sit up on her own now (for a few minutes then loses her balance). She is desperately trying to crawl. Just to show us how determined she is, she sleeps on both knees with her butt in the air. Savannah is rewarding daddy and I with many smiles, laughs and babbles. She is eating her fair share of pureed food now (both fruits and veggies). We are going to take cousin Chris's advice and start to train on the sippy cup with water. I figured that it can't hurt to get an early start. Then, by the time she is drinking larger amounts of fluids, she will be a pro. We are loving every day that we spend with our beautiful daughter (even the days when she chooses not to nap) and just can't believe that she is already 6 months old. In just three weeks, Savannah will take her first plane ride with mommy and daddy to see all of her family and some friends at the beach in NC. This will also be her first beach trip. Gregg and I are anxiously anticipating this trip and can't wait for Savannah to meet the rest of her family. Her next well visit isn't for a few weeks. At that time, I will update her height/weight/percentile stats. For now, enjoy her SIX month pics!

Going Fishing- 5 months old!

The New Three of the Month

19 weeks today and Savannah is in LOVE with her toes! She loves them so much, she can't resist putting them in her mouth. Then again, what can't babies at this stage resist putting into their mouths? :) Not only does she love her toes, but she has finally acquired a liking for her rattle as well as this new "screeeech" that tells you just how elated she is to be shaking her rattle. So, here we are with the new three of the month: TOES, RATTLE and the high pitched SCREETCH (at least she is trying to say mama....of course I try to make any sound that she makes into her saying mama). :)

First day of daycare

18 weeks old!

Savannah went to her 4 month well visit today. She weighed in at 14.9 lbs and 25 inches long. Unfortunately, she had to get several immunization shots but as usual, she was a trooper. She is slowly adjusting to the rice cereal and hopes to begin a vegetable in the next few weeks. Savannah received a great report from the doctor and continues to see that she is a growing, healthy girl (as you can see from the pics).
