First Trip to NC

Savannah had a lot of big "firsts" this past week! She just returned from her first trip to NC, first trip to the beach, first time meeting certain family members and her first flight. All four events were a great success! Even though she had a cold and ear infection, she was a trooper and did excellent on the flight. Savannah had a blast visiting with both sets of grandparents as well as meeting her great grandmama, aunts, cousins and uncle at Emerald Isle, NC! She soaked her toes in the ocean and chilled out on the beach under the tent that grandpa set up for her each day. Savannah LOVED her new toys (i.e. Leap Frog Violet, car with wheel, sounds and lights), books and new outfits that her grandparents gave her. She appreciated spending time with all of her family members and can't wait to see everyone again! I'm sure she already misses all of the extra attention that she received while beaching it up with family. Take a look at some of her new pics.

Sitting up!!!

Look at me! I've been sitting up on my own for about two weeks now. Although, this week, my balance has improved and I enjoy showing off my skills. I'm a happy baby and LOVE making my mommy and daddy smile! Check me out in my pics above!

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!
