I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of our newest addition, so there's lots of pictures below. We're doing great and Savannah is in love with her new sister as you can see from the pictures. She wants to hold her ALL the time. She's also very helpful. Sydney is a good baby so far. She wakes up a few times at night but is good to go right back to sleep after she eats. She weighed 8 lbs., 5 oz. at her 3 week checkup so I'm guessing she's around 9 lbs. right now. They grow soooo fast! Enjoy the pictures.

Better Late Than Never

2009-04-09T13:28:00.000-07:00

I guess it's about time I announced on here that we're expecting another baby girl! I can't believe I've waited so long to post this news. I'm almost 28 weeks pregnant and due July 5th. Savannah is soooo excited and hugs and kisses my belly all the time. She has named her baby sister Coco and that's what she tells everyone her name is going to be. We're not sure where she even came up with that name, but she's sticking to it.

First Trip to the Dentist

2009-04-09T13:14:00.000-07:00

Savannah had her first trip to the dentist last week and she did so good. She wasn't scared at all and laid in the chair by herself. But she was VERY shy though. She wouldn't say a word. And she wouldn't crack a smile at all! Her teeth were fine and after picking some toys out of the toy box, we were on our way home.

Circus

2009-02-05T13:20:00.000-08:00

We went to the circus a couple weeks ago and Savannah enjoyed most of it. As you can see from the pictures, she fell asleep, but only during the last 20 minutes. We couldn't believe it though b/c she has never been one to fall asleep in public. She really enjoyed all the animals, but didn't care much about the acrobatic stuff. Michael and I loved every bit of it. I hope we can go again next year.

Christmas 2008

2009-01-06T12:47:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm finally catching up on my blog. There are LOTS of posts below to make up for my lack of posts lately. Below are several Christmas pictures from all the different places we went for Christmas this year. We had a busy holiday season and Savannah got WAY too much stuff of course, but she's still enjoying every bit of it. She really enjoyed opening presents this year, but it was a little overwhelming for her to get so much stuff, I think. Enjoy all the pictures!

School Christmas Program

2009-01-06T12:18:00.000-08:00

This is from Savannah's Christmas program at school. She never opened her mouth once to sing, even though she'd sing Christmas carols around the house all the time. But then the boy behind her bumped into her and made her trip down on the next step and she lost it. So the teacher had to hold her the rest of the time. Oh well. At least it lasted long enough for me to get a picture.

New Baby Cousin

2009-01-06T12:14:00.000-08:00

On December 7, my brother and his wife welcomed their new daughter, Taylor Alexis. This is Savannah's only first cousin. She's been awaiting her arrival for months now, so she was excited to finally get to meet her. She would love to just hold her by herself and hug and kiss her all over, so we have to watch her and help her out a little bit.

Opryland Hotel

2009-01-06T12:07:00.000-08:00

Savannah actually sat in Santa's lap this year without crying. She never smiled, but at least she was willing to sit there long enough for a picture We talked about it so much beforehand to prepare her, so maybe that's what helped.

Flower Girl

2009-01-06T11:59:00.000-08:00

Savannah was in her first wedding back in November. It was Michael's brother's wedding and she did great. She got to walk down the aisle with her cousin Abby, who she loves, so she did just fine. I don't have any good group pictures of the whole wedding party since Michael and I were both in it, but here's a few of Savannah that I managed to take. The last one is her on the dance floor. She loved running and twirling around on the dance floor.

Fall & Trunk or Treat

2008-11-04T12:00:00.000-08:00

Savannah was Snow White for Halloween this year. We started off a week before Halloween going to Trunk or Treat at my mom's church. Then we went to Trunk or Treat a few days later at our church. Then Savannah had a halloween party at her school and went trick-or-treating at the other classrooms. We went out of town for Halloween since we'd already had our fill of trick-or-treating and more candy than we could ever eat.

Potty Trained!!!

2008-09-30T11:50:00.000-07:00

Well, Savannah is finally done with diapers (except when she sleeps). She's been wearing "big girl pants" for about 2 weeks now with very few accidents. She really did it all on her own. She became interested when she kept seeing another girl at her school use the potty and she was finally just ready. I can't believe how easy it's been. The only time I don't like it is when we're at a dirty public place and she has to go, but I'm still glad she's done. I just couldn't bring myself to post a picture of my child on the potty for all the world to see , so that's why this picture is not at all related to potty training!

Chattanooga

2008-09-10T11:01:00.000-07:00

We took Savannah to Chattanooga this past weekend to visit the aquarium and the kids museum there. I've been wanting us to go since last summer and we finally found a weekend that Michael could get away. It was a quick trip but we really enjoyed it! I ended up putting way too many pictures on here, but we did so much while we were there that I had a hard time narrowing it down.

Some pictures from the aquarium

Savannah and daddy taking a break.

Enjoying some ice cream after supper

Pictures from the museum (ignore the red paint on her forehead in some of these. she grabbed the face paint when we weren't looking)

Mother's Day Out

2008-08-26T18:46:00.000-07:00

Savannah started her first day of "school" last week and she's doing great. These pictures were the morning of her first day. The only way she was going to pose for a picture was if I'd let her sit on her little 4-wheeler, so this is all I have. She hasn't cried once. She walked right in the first day without hesitating. She has only napped once so far and that was only about 30 minutes, so I'm hoping she'll get better at napping while there. She really seems to enjoy it and randomly tells me about things that happen at school. She won't usually tell me anything if I ask questions, so I just have to wait and she'll tell me things here and there that she thinks of. It has really been great to have some time to do things on those days she's gone!

Williamson County Fair

2008-08-12T12:26:00.000-07:00

I'm just now getting around to posting about our trip to the fair last week. We went last year and they have such neat things for kids to do, so we decided to brave the heat and go again this year. It was well worth it, of course. Savannah loved feeding the animals and she rode her very first ride by herself. She loved it.

Pigtails

2008-07-26T18:41:00.000-07:00

Savannah's hair has taken soooo long to grow. But it's finally getting some length to it. The other day I decided to try pigtails and I couldn't believe it actually worked. You can tell she loved it by the way she's grinning for the camera!

New Playhouse

2008-07-26T18:38:00.000-07:00

I've been looking for a used playhouse for Savannah for a few weeks and my mom finally found one at a yard sale the other day. So I told her to buy it and Savannah has really enjoyed it. Here's a picture of her face when she first came out to see it and then some pictures of her playing in it. We put a little chair in there and she can just sit and play forever!

Chipped Tooth

2008-07-24T11:13:00.000-07:00

I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks now. Savannah chipped her tooth several weeks ago. One of our dogs turned around and bumped into her while she had her back to it and she fell and chipped her tooth. The tooth didn't even hurt her. In fact, I didn't notice it until an hour or two after it happened. She was crying though b/c she skinned her knee. I was so upset once i realized she chipped a tooth, but now I've actually gotten used to it. Here are a couple pictures of her showing off her new smile!

4th of July

2008-07-15T12:33:00.000-07:00

For the 4th, we went to my aunt and uncle's lake house in KY. We had such a nice time just relaxing, eating, riding on the boat and watching fireworks. This was Savannah's first time on a boat and her first time to get in the lake. She wasn't crazy about the boat mainly b/c of how uncomfortable the life jacket was when she sat down. I can't say that I blame her.

Here she is swimming and fishing with my brother.

Here she is watching fireworks on TV with her Uncle Blake and Aunt Stephanie. We went outside later to watch the real thing.

2008-06-12T18:44:00.000-07:00

I've posted some pictures below of random things and of Savannah's birthday. I'm sooo behind on my pictures. I haven't uploaded any in a couple of weeks and I take on average about 100 a day, so these pictures aren't the most recent. A quick update on Savannah at two years old. She speaks in comlete sentences most of the time and keeps us laughing all the time. It's amazing the things they pick up on at this age. She seems to be more girly than ever. She carries purses with more lip gloss than I even own in them. And she applies this lip gloos very often! She's particular about which shoes she wants to wear when we're going somewhere. I keep all of her shoes hidden so that they aren't all over our house, but she still remembers what she owns and tells me which ones to go get for her. She loves to have her fingernails and toenails painted. She doesn't really like to get dirty or to have a boo boo on her. She wants to wash all her boo boos off. She's really using her imaginatin these days which is so neat to watch. She loves her baby dolls and goes through stages where they go everywhere with us too. She recently named one of her dolls Californ. It was hilarious! I asked her the baby's name and that's what she came up with and she's stuck with it. My mom was gone to California a few weeks ago and we talked about that so often, I guess that's where it came from. She just shortened it. We're just enjoying watching her grow up and learn new things everyday.

2 Years Old

2008-06-12T18:28:00.000-07:00

Savannah's birthday was over a month ago, so I figured it was about time I posted some pictures. We had two parties with our families and she got more than she ever needed. She got a tricyle from us, but her favorite gifts were new shoes, LOTS of lip gloss and a purse. The purse and lip glosses go absolutely everywhere with us.

Long Overdue Update

2008-04-30T12:47:00.000-07:00

We've had computer problems for the last few weeks so that is the reason for the delay in posts. I've posted several pictures below of what we've been up to lately. We've been enjoying the weather every chance we get. I posted the first picture from a Sunday morning because she actually wore a bow to church. She NEVER wears bows. She cries if I put them in her hair. She has since worn a bow 2 or 3 times to church, so maybe she'll get used to them eventually. Savannah will be two in just a couple weeks and we can't believe it! She is so much fun and never stops talking. She asks soooo many questions and will ask the same ones over and over. But it's so cute to hear the things she'll say too. She's used her potty a few times in the last few weeks. We haven't pushed at all. It's just sitting in the bathroom and sometimes she'll think of it on her own and go. Hopefully we won't have too much trouble getting her potty trained. Not much else going on. We're staying pretty busy though and getting ready for birthday parties this weekend for Savannah since her actual birthday is on Mother's Day weekend and that's way too hectic. Will post pictures from the parties hopefully next week.

Easter

2008-03-25T11:02:00.000-07:00

I'm finally getting some easter pictures posted. Savannah went to 3 different egg hunts this year and caught on REAL quick to what you were supposed to do. She did great. And once she'd gotten all her eggs, she plopped down and began opening them and eating whatever treats were inside. She's never had so much sugar at one time, I don't think. We had fun though. Here's her picture from our visit with the easter bunny. She wouldn't sit in his lap, so this is the best we could do. I was just thankful she didn't start screaming.

Gatlinburg

2008-03-13T11:43:00.000-07:00

We went to Gatlinburg this past weekend and didn't do much of anything but relax and play at the cabin. We missed all the snow at home, but still got to see some in Gatlinburg. It just didn't stick like it did at home.

Outdoors

2008-03-13T11:31:00.000-07:00

We've been enjoying the nice weather every chance we get. Michael finally put together a swingset that his aunt and uncle gave us and Savannah loves the slide. She also loves to wear her bathing suit as much as possible. We are ready for spring/summer around here!

8 Things About Savannah

2008-02-01T11:57:00.000-08:00

Savannah was tagged by Ben and Drew to list 8 things about herself. We're a little late in getting this posted, but here goes.

1. I have an obsession with belly buttons. I want to see everyone's belly button, including stuffed animals and baby dolls. If I can't see it, then I say "belly button hiding".

2. I also have a small shoe obsession. I like for everyone to always have their shoes on. I bring mommy different shoes all day long and make her wear them. I also take my own shoes off and on all day.

3. I'm very girly. I love purses, makeup & jewelry and have ever since I was very little. I would also like to have my fingernails and toenails painted everyday if mommy would let me.

4. I LOVE books! I like to ready by myself sometimes and other times I like to be read to. I pay really close attention when someone reads to me and I have names for most of my books.

5. I love fruits and vegetables. My mommy is so proud. I get really excited when I know I'm going to get some broccoli!

6. I do not ever watch TV (except when in the car). My mommy is happy about this most of the time, but sometimes it would be a nice distraction for 15-20 minutes a day at least! Oh well. I'm sure this will all change one day.

7. I love to play hide and seek. I like to hide in the closet, under a blanket or just behind my hands. It may be my favorite game.

8. One of my favorite things to do is "feed fishes" with Daddy. Everyday when he comes home, he'll take me in the basement, where he has several fish tanks and I get to help him feed the fishes. It's one of my favorite times of the day.

There you have it. I now tag anyone who still hasn't done this.

Christmas

2008-01-15T13:17:00.000-08:00

I'm finally getting some Christmas pictures on here. Below are pictures of Savannah with some of the MANY things she got for Christmas. She got this table and chairs and a tea set that she loves to play with while sitting at the table. She got a slide, a little
4-wheeler and her very own chair as you can see in the last picture. We had a great Christmas and got more than we ever could've asked for. Savannah still talks about Santa Claus almost daily.

We went to Opryland hotel earlier this week to see the lights and see Santa. Here's a few pictures from our time there.
Savannah did okay with Santa. She didn't cry (at least not at first) but she refused to smile. I'll have to scan the pictures and post on here later. We're going back to Opryland tomorrow night, so we may have some more pictures. We're busy getting ready for Christmas around here. Hope everyone else is enjoying this holiday season. This morning Savannah even said to me, "Wish you Merry Christmas". It was so cute.

2007-12-20T12:36:00.000-08:00

Savannah loves to have her fingers painted. She has to go around and let everybody
blow on her nails to dry them. Here's daddy blowing on them and the snowmen even helped too.

Catch Up

2007-12-01T11:50:00.000-08:00

I really dont' even know where to begin. We've just been staying busy with the usual stuff around here. I'll fill you in on some new things with Savannah b/c I'm afraid if I don't write them down I'll forget all that she's doing at this age. She is so much fun right now. She can say absolutely ANYTHING!! It's unbelievable really. She is putting 3 words together at a time. And she never forgets anything we tell her. We only have to tell her once and she remembers it forever. I feel like we have great conversations all day long, b/c she can communicate so well. She is sweeter than ever right now too. She gives lots of hugs and kisses and even says I love you quite often as she hugs us. We're trying to prepare her for Christmas and if you ask her what Santa is going to bring her, she says "toys". She can say christmas tree, snowman, santa claus, ho ho, reindeer, ornaments....she's learning quickly about Christmas.
Savannah has become quite the little helper lately also. If she sees the least little mess on the floor, she says "Towel...clean it" and she will go get a kitchen towel and proceed to try and clean up the mess. She's always bringing me things she thinks I need and really is trying to be so helpful. She LOVES to write or draw on anything. You give her a pen and some paper, and it will keep her busy for a long time. Oh, and when I am getting her dressed or holding an outfit up to her to see if it will fit, she says, "cute, cute". And when she cries, she says "I know, I know it" over and over b/c that's what I do to console her if she's ever crying. It's so funny.
I'm sure there is a lot more I could write about what she's doing right now, but this is a good summary. I've included some pictures I've taken over the last few weeks. It's really hard to get her to be still for a picture these days, so I just have to take what I can get.

2007-12-01T11:44:00.000-08:00

Here she is really getting into drawing. She loves it.

Pumpkins and Puppies

2007-10-29T14:08:00.000-07:00

I'm so behind on blogging that I'm not even going to attempt to play catch-up. I'm just going to post a few pictures of what we've been doing lately. The first few are from the pumpkin patch we went to a few weeks ago. The last ones are of our new puppies. They are 5 weeks old right now and we plan to give them all away. So if anyone is looking for a puppy, let me know. The mom is a full blooded golden retriever and the dad is a mutt! They're soooo cute though! Hopefully I'll get pictures from Halloween up later this week and I'll try to not be such a terrible blogger!

2007-10-29T14:01:00.000-07:00

Savannah always has to smell the flowers!

We were busy the last couple weeks in August with horse shows and after that just trying to catch up again after being gone so much. Most of these are pictures from the Celebration in Shelbyville.

15 Months

2007-08-16T11:39:00.001-07:00

Savannah had her 15 month checkup yesterday. She weighed 21 lbs., 11 oz. and was 31 inches tall. The doctor was VERY impressed with how much she talks. She even looked at the dr. and called her "doctor". No other big news around here. Savannah is just learning more every day and getting into more each day. She even walked up to me yesterday and said "diaper". She was letting me know she had a dirty diaper. I hope this means she will be easy to potty train since she's already letting us know these things!! That's all for now. I've got lots to do while my sweet girl is still napping.

Williamson Co. Fair

2007-08-16T11:31:00.001-07:00

The pictures below are from this past weekend at the Williamson County Fair. That's where Michael's horse show was this weekend, so we decided to let Savannah enjoy part of the fair while we were there. Most of these pictures are from a little farm they had set up. It was really neat for kids. She got to walk through with a little apron on and collect lots of fruits and veggies for her basket and at the end, she had to "sell" everything she had collected and received some fake money that she could use to buy something. Savannah bought animal crackers with her money. It was really cute. We also enjoyed the petting zoo afterwards.

2007-08-07T09:52:00.000-07:00

So, it looks like I'm becoming a once a month blogger. I don't know what we've been doing for the last month, but it sure seems like we've been busy! I've posted a bunch of random pictures of Savannah. We had been playing outside a lot until this terrible heat wave. Now, we just try to stay cool! Savannah loves to play in her pool and with the water hose. She's still talking more all the time. It's unbelievable the things they pick up on at this age! She loves to read and a lot of the time prefers flipping through books over playing with any toys. She's walking everywhere now and it's like she's discovered a whole new world. She just wanders around the house checking out rooms she never used to pay attention to.
A couple weeks ago, Savannah spent the night with my mom and she climbed out of the crib! The mattress was on the lowest level and I still can't believe she did it. But she fell on hardwood floors and barely had a mark on her face. Since then, when we lay her down at night, she screams and screams and screams! I don't know if she's scared or what, but she's been sleeping with us most nights lately. She will nap in her crib just fine, just doesn't want to be in there at bedtime. I hope we get over this soon. If not, we go to the doctor next week, so maybe she will have some suggestions! She hasn't tried to climb out anymore, thank goodness!
Enjoy the pictures and try to stay cool!

2007-08-07T09:50:00.000-07:00

Now that Savannah's walking everywhere, she
likes to try to carry her blanket and suck her thumb at
the same time.

She still LOVES to read!

I meant to write a quick update the other day when I posted pictures and ran out of time. Savannah is 14 months old today and she is so much fun!. She is talking quite a bit. When she was right around 13 months old, I started writing down all her words so that I would know how many she says and it was over 50. And who knows how many she’s learned since then. She will try to say almost anything you ask her to. She can tell you what noises a lot of the animals make and she knows most all of her body parts (eyes, ears, toes, hands, etc….). We’re just amazed at how quickly she seems to learn new things. She is very girly so far. She LOVES jewelry and wears beads around her neck almost every day as you can see in some of the pictures below. She loves purses and lip gloss and baby dolls and all that girly stuff. She gives the BEST hugs these days where she’ll squeeze so tight and gives the sweetest kisses too, a lot of times without being asked. As for walking, she's still not very interested. She will stand for long periods of time by herself, and maybe try to take one step every now and then, but she's really just too scared and prefers to just crawl That’s a quick summary of what’s going on with Savannah right now. I hope to do better about updating this thing from now on, but we’ll see.

Dental floss is a new favorite toy around our house.

Fun in the bathroom cabinet!

This is to show that Savannah really will stand on her own. She
just refuses to take a step!

These pictures show how much Savannah loves her beads.
She wears them almost every day at some point.

As promised...more birthday pictures!

1st Birthday

2007-05-14T12:25:00.000-07:00

Savannah's birthday was last Thursday, so I'm a little behind on posting pictures. I took most of the pictures on my regular camera, not my digital, and haven't gotten those developed yet. It may be a few more days before more birthday pics are posted. We had her party this weekend and I must say she did not dig into the cake like I expected. She did seem to like it, but hardly made a mess at all. This picture is a little deceiving b/c most of the time she just ate little bites. It was cute though.
The main reason I'm so late posting pictures is because we have brown recluse spiders in our house!!!! And most of them seem to be in our office where the computer is. I'm TERRIFIED of spiders, especially brown recluse. So I've been staying out of that room as much as possible. We have people coming today to spray and we've set out traps everywhere. I think we'll be staying somewhere else tonight since the bug man won't be there until late this afternoon. I sure hope it helps! I can't live in a house with spiders for much longer!!!

Vacation

2007-05-02T13:32:00.000-07:00

Here's a few pictures from our vacation in Florida. We turned Savannah's carseat around forward facing for the trip. We thought she would be happier in the car for 8-9 hours if she could see us. And I don't think we were breaking the rules too much since she's over 20 lbs. and only a week away from her 1st birthday!!! She did pretty well in the car coming and going. I was very proud of her since she stayed awake most of the time. She only took a couple SHORT naps both ways.
While we were there, we went to the beach or pool everyday. She didn't care much for the sand or the ocean water, but there was a kiddie pool as well as an indoor pool that she enjoyed.
Now we're just trying to get back into our old routine and I'm trying to plan her first birthday party. I can't believe my sweet baby is almost 1!

Facing forward for the first time.

Savannah's been sick for almost 3 weeks. It's really just a runny nose right now, but when it started 3 weeks ago, she was running a fever and felt miserable. She wouldn't sleep at night in her own bed...and now 3 weeks later, she still won't sleep in her own bed. Even if she falls asleep in our arms, once we go to lay her down, she immediately wakes up screaming! That has left little time to do anything since one of us has to be holding her at all times when she's asleep.
We leave for Florida first thing in the morning, but I know that next week we're going to have to get her back in the habit of falling asleep on her own and sleeping in her own bed. I'm not looking forward to it, but I know it's got to be done! She's still the same happy baby as long as she's awake. She's soaking in EVERYTHING. It's amazing to watch her learn new things. She's saying quite a few words now and also really understands so much of what we say. She seems to be more affectionate thse days and says mama ALL the time, which I love! She is not even close to walking (at least I don't think she is). She refuses to even stand alone b/c she's so scared. I have a cautious little girl! There are times that it would be very convenient if she could walk, but I know it will come soon enough and then I'll really have my hands full.
I have more packing to do for our trip, but wanted to leave a quick update. Hope everyone has a good week!

Michael's cousin got a new puppy and Savannah
loved giving it kisses!

2007-04-23T18:58:00.000-07:00

These beads have become her new favorite toy. She
loves to put them over her head and take them off over and over.

2007-04-23T18:55:00.000-07:00

This is what Savannah does every morning. She
goes through all the bathroom drawers and helps
herself to whatever she likes.

A Little Late...
