8 3/4 Month Update

Here is Savannah's 8 month update, and she is 8 ¾ months old. I will probably never be on time again. Being the Type-A personality that I am, I lived by the model "To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late and being late is unacceptable," but Savannah has changed everything. My wise sister-in-law gave me a card before Savannah was born that said "A new baby will change EVERYTHING. Except its own diapers." How true!! But the changes are wonderful. Savannah is crawling everywhere and trying to pull up on everything. The other day she crawled over to the book shelf in her room and totally cleared off the bottom shelf. I have some video of her crawling. I will try to post some soon.

Happy Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day. Terence and Savannah made the day very special for me. Check out my Mother's Day present from Savannah. She decorated this plate for me at daycare. It is so precious. They dipped her little feet in pink paint and made the butterflies. When I opened the gift I could not help myself, I got all teary eyed. I was so overwhelmed with joy, being a mother is the greatest. I thank God everyday for Savannah. She is such a blessing!! I will treasure my first mother's day gift from Savannah forever. Terence did a great job too. He gave me a pair of earrings that I had wanted for a long time and we went out on a date to a nice restaurant. He even got a babysitter!

Fun in the Sun

Savannah's first trip to the pool was a success. She had a lot of fun playing on the top step. She loves to slash. It will be a fun summer!! In a few weeks we will take Savannah to the beach for the first time. I hope she likes it. I will let you know how it goes. Lets hope she does not eat the sand or put it in her eyes. Wow, there is so much to worry about.

Enjoy the pictures!!

7 1/2 Month Update

Savannah is almost eight months old. I am so behind on updating her blog.


For Savannah's first Easter we went home. It was great to see all of family. Savannah had a great time.



My mom, grandmother, and cousin gave Savannah a party. We were able to see many of our family and friends. Savannah loved all the attention.

Sweet Dreams

5 Generations

While we were at home Savannah got to meet her Great-Great Grandmother. Granny is 97 years old, which is 1,156.5 months older than Savannah.

Easter

Daddy's Little Girl

Savannah is not crawling yet, but she is getting ready to. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth.

First Tooth

Savannah's first tooth broke through the skin on Easter. Now she has two teeth on the bottom.

See you next month!!

Fun, Fun, and More Fun

Last week Family came to visit Savannah. Savannah LOVES having company. She enjoyed meeting her Aunt and her cousin for the first time. The babies played and played together. Savannah's cousin is such a sweet little boy. He was very gentle with Savannah.






They spent a lot of time at the park. Savannah's cousin is a park veteran. He knows he way around the slides, swings, and sandbox. Before this visit Savannah had not gone to the park that much, but now she is working on her veteran status.

Savannah went down the slide for the first time with Daddy, and she loved it!

They loved swinging at the park.

Savannah played until she fell asleep at the park.

So Sweet!!

6 Month Update

Sorry, for the long delay in posts. My laptop died. It just could not handle the 4,000 pictures that I have taken of Savannah, but luckily I backed up all the photos before it crashed!!! So, here is Savannah's 6 Month update even though she is now 7 months old. Savannah has been very busy. She has had three ear infections over the past two months. No, surprise since Terence and I both had ear infections frequently as children. Even with being sick Savannah is such a pleasant baby and a joy to be around. (I know that I am biased!)



One of the big developments in Savannah's life recently is that she is eating three meals a day. Savannah's routine now consists of a bottle of milk, then breakfast - cereal and fruit, milk, lunch - cereal and vegetables, milk, dinner - cereal and vegetables, and then finally one last bottle. (No wonder she is 18 1/2 lbs) And she is finally sleeping through the night (well, for the most part)!!!!

Savannah likes eating her big girl meals. Some of her favorites are peaches, pears, peas, and carrots.

Savannah loves her exersaucer!

Savannah likes swinging in her outside swing.

Sweet Baby Girl

Our wonderful neighbor gave Savannah two adorable outfits and this bear for Valentine's Day. She likes both!!
