13 months!

Savannah had a great 12th month and WHOA did time fly! I didn't realize that one month had gone by since I posted any pics. To update you a little, she had her one yr well visit. As of a few weeks ago, she weighs 24 lbs and is 30 inches long. Savannah has started taking a few steps on her own and loves to walk holding mommy and daddy's fingers now instead of showing us how she can do splits. :) Sav is a terrific eater. She loves salmon sticks, cheese eggs, mini bagels, grilled ham/turkey and cheese sandwiches, tuna fish salad, macaroni, kiwi, mango, banana and etc. We have learned not to play around with this girl's food as she will straighten us out in a heartbeat. Savannah is totally off formula (YAY!) and drinking whole milk in a sippy cup except for her bedtime bottle. She is talking up a storm and identifying several nouns (i.e. dog, fish, book, turtle (ta ta), toes, sock, mama, dada, Oscar, etc.). She loves to sing and dance. Savannah sings "la la la" and does a mini snap with her fingers in the air while bouncing on the floor to the Blackeyed Peas, Britney Spears, Beyonce's music (especially "Single Ladies") and her Kids Bop CD that daddy bought for her (hate to admit that she also likes Justin Bieber). Savannah loves Gymboree and has been playing nice with her friends at daycare. She is very loving (gives fish kisses and hugs) and is always on the go. Enjoy the pics!

Savannah's FIRST Birthday!!!

Savannah celebrated her FIRST birthday this past weekend!!! Her actual birthday is on 1/27 but we had her party on Saturday. Her friend's from mommy's work and her neighborhood buddies came over to help Sav dig into her cake and other goodies that Grammie made for the party. She had a blast with her new gifts and could not take her eyes off of her balloons. It's so hard to believe that our baby girl is already ONE yr old. This first year has been an interesting learning experience for Gregg and I. We are so greatful to have a healthy, spunky, filled with personality daughter. She has grown so much! Any day now, we expect Savannah to take off walking (now stands for a few seconds with no assistance). Her one yr check up is in a few days (stats for height/weight to come). Check out some of the pics from her party.

Savannah, you are so special to your mommy and daddy. You have changed our lives in ways that you will never know. We are better people because of you. I thank God for all of the love that you bring into our (and other family members'/friends') lives. We are so excited to see what new developments and adventures you share with us in the days to come. XOXO, mommy and daddy

Grammie's Visit

Grammie flew out to Vegas from NC to visit with Savannah for the week. The pictures don't do justice to the fun times Savannah had with Grammie. Grammie went with Sav to Gymboree, showed Sav how to play with her new toys, allow Sav to become obsessed with Grammie's jewlery, pushed Sav on the swings at the park and partied with Savannah on her FIRST birthday! Thanks Grammie for helping with all of the party preparations (i.e. cooking, cleaning, and shopping)! Sav loved that she got to celebrate both of your birthdays together (Grammie's b-day is one day before Sav's b-day). She misses her Grammie already and can't wait to see her at the beach this summer!

California Girl!

Savannah just got back from her first trip to the state of California! We visited our friend, Lauren (who is due with her first baby in June...YAY!!), who was an awesome host. She took us to the boardwalk on the beachfront. Sav enjoyed her stroll with all of the other kids, joggers and animals. The weather was beautiful! We also stopped at mommy and daddy's favorite fast food joint, CHICK FIL A! Sav tried their chicken for the first time and will never want her mommy's plain, boring grilled chicken again. Lauren took us to the best doughnut shop I've ever tried (Tan's doughnuts). It was not surprising that Sav was a HUGE fan of their doughnuts. She split a doughnut with mommy and then demanded for more! Wow! Did Lauren really know what she was starting here? ha! Sav had a blast with Lauren's dog, Jersey (even though she couldn't touch her due to being allergic to dogs). Savannah would point and crack up laughing at Jersey. Then, Jersey would sneak a lick on Sav's hand here and there (it was all good...that's why we have sinks for hand washing). Of course the trip was way too short. Sav did awesome riding in the car (sleeping most of the way to Cali and back) for her longest road trip. We can't wait to go back and visit again. Maybe next time, Sav will be ready to visit the Animal Kingdom and Sea World. Enjoy the pics!
