Baby's First Christmas!

Here are several pictures from our first Christmas with Savannah. She seemed to enjoy it as much as you could expect for a 7 month old. Of course, she got tons of stuff because the grandmother's can't resist buying all the cute things they see. It's a good thing we're moving into a bigger house so that we'll have a place for all these new things! And we still have one more family Christmas this coming weekend.

In other news, we think Savannah has said her first word and it is...........dog. My brother started trying last weekend to get her to say it and he swore she was saying it, so all week, i've been showing her a picture of our dogs and we've been practicing. Now, everytime we get the picture out, she says it. Of course there's not always a "g" sound on the end, but she says the first part always. (In case you're wondering why I'm showing her a picture instead of the real dogs, it's because Chloe is in heat, so they're both locked up way behind the house. it's dark and freezing by the time i get home with her, so we can't walk up there to see them).

We're so excited! Now if she'll only start saying mama and dada and actually know who she's talking about!

 

 

Merry Christmas!!!

These were our Christmas cards this year!

So I'm a little behind, but these pictures are from Christmas with my mom's family this past weekend. I just love how Savannah is checking out the tree in this picture.
 

My brother and sister-in-law have a pet rabbit that Savannah would've loved to get her hands on. 

An attempt to get a family photo. 

I haven't taken very many pictures in the last week or so, but here's a couple from last week. You can see Savannah's new top teeth in one of these pictures. She actually has 3 upper teeth which have all come in within the past 3 weeks. AND...the 4th one is about to pop through any day now! What a trooper she is though. They rarely seem to even bother her.
 

 

 

 

 

Horse Lover Already???

Savannah has a stuffed horse that she absolutely loves to cuddle with. Here's a few shots of her with her new friend!

 

6 Month Dr. Visit...

Savannah had her 6 month check-up this morning and I thought everyone might like to know her stats. Weight: 17 lbs., 13 oz. (75 - 90%). Height: 271/4" (95th percentile). The Dr. said she is a very social baby. Of course, we know she doesn't get that from her mama, but I'm glad she's so social! In other baby updates, Savannah is "crawling". I still don't know if that's what I can call it, but she is scooting, one way or another to anything she wants to get. Her biggest motivation is the remote control. I can set it way across the room and she goes to it everytime! I guess it's also time to begin to think about babyproofing the house! I can't wait to get our tree put up this weekend and see how she responds to all the lights! Lots of new firsts!

 

Not so sure about the sweet potatoes!

I don't have many pictures of me and Savannah, b/c I'm always behind the camera. Here's one we managed to get though. 

Savannah rolls to her stomach everytime I lay her on the changing table b/c her wipes have become such a new fun toy!
