Savannah Imitating Mommy

Pool time and trying to walk!

Savannah and I headed back to the pool today. This time we brought Grammie's float with us. She LOVED it, Grammie! Savannah appears to be a fish just like her mommy and grandmama. She continues to show little interest in crawling but she loves when her daddy and I assist her with walking. Savannah has some strong leg muscles! This evening, Savannah will attend her first Italian festival. I'm sure she will enjoy looking at all of the sites, carnival acts and entertaining Vegans (no, not the non-meat eaters, the people who live in Vegas...ha!). I will try to post pics of the festival later. Adios for now!

8 months old!

Savannah turns 8 months this week! Oh my how time flies! She is babbling all sorts of words that mostly make sense in her world. We do enjoy when she says "da da" and "ba ba". Savannah only seems to say "ma ma" when she is upset or lonely. Go figure! She doesn't appear that interested in crawling anymore. But, oh does she want to walk. I wouldn't be surprised if she skips crawling and starts walking within the next few months. Savannah had her first experience in the swimming pool last week and LOVED it! Unfortunately, we couldn't make it back to the pool this week with daddy and a camera since Savannah has a cold. Maybe next week, we can head back to the pool. It's so hard to believe how fast she is growing. Her next well visit will be in September. So, I'll update her growth stats at that time. As you can see from the pics, she seems to enjoy the box Grammie sent her just as much (or maybe even more) than the items that were in the box. Savannah loves taking objects in and out of the box. Gotta love cheap and simple toys for playtime! More fun times to come! Enjoy the pics!

Savannah says "DaDa"

Back on Pacific Time

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!
