One Year Pictures

our second family picture

happy halloween from savannah

she looks soooo big here!

Saturday we went to have our family pictures taken.  I*ve had pictures of Savannah taken every month since she was born and these were the last set, until she turns 18  months old. :)  We had to cancel last week because of the big bump on her noggin and the line where she hit the desk.  This week our big issue was teeth.  She was cranky and her teeth hurt and she DID NOT want to cooperate.  We got some good shots, but she choose not to smile in most of them.  Robert was a little frazzled too.  Savannah*s uncooperativeness brought back bad memories of having pictures made when he was younger, according to him.  Overall, I think we got some great pictures.  Luckily, he will not have to go with us at her 18 month pictures. :)

Today we took Savannah to her first pumpkin patch.  We started out checking out all of the farm animals.  We made it to the pumpkins and the first one Savannah picked out didn*t have a stem, so Robert went on the hunt for a better pumpkin.  After giving it to Savannah, he didn*t like it so went to look for even more.  Finally, he found the perfect pumpkin for his girl and all she wanted to do was throw it.  Her new thing to do with everything.  Then we went into the corn maze.  Savannah enjoyed running around everywhere and following Robert through the maze.  Our last thing was the hayride.  Not very fun for $10, but it was another first for Savannah.  She wasn*t as thrilled either.  She was starting to shut down because she didn*t have an afternoon nap.  Overall though, are trip was successful because Savannah got her own pumpkin.  Now, i*m going to buy some toddler friendly paint, per Robert and let Savannah paint her pumpkin.  Pictures to come!

One Year Check Up

Savannah had her one year doctor apt. on Thursday.  She is still perfect, surprise, surprise.  She weighs 20 pounds, gaining a pound from her last apt. and 30 inches long, gaining 5 inches from her last apt.  She had four shots, SCARY!!  She got her flu shot, MMR and 2 others.  I can*t remember what they were.  She screamed and whimpered for a few minutes, but overall, she*s been wonderful.  You would never know she had them.  She*s been a trooper this week.  She ran into a desk Wednesday at the sitter*s house and had a big goose egg above her eye, four shots and then Friday she fell down on the concrete playing at our house and scraped her knee.  I know, these are only the first of many injuries! 

Happy Birthday!

Birthday Princess

Savannah had an amazing birthday with friends and family.  I had a friend from work make her birthday dress.  It*s purple with her initials and a butterfly, the theme of her party.  All Savannah wanted to do at the party was walk.  She loves to walk/run all day long.  Don*t try to confine her!  She received a ton of presents, clothes and toys!  After opening gifts, she dove into her smash cake.  Robert*s Aunt Patsy made Savannah*s cakes.  Savannah*s cake was all strawberry and the big birthday cake was a double layer of strawberry and chocolate with icing separating them.  I hope your mouth is watering, because it was amazing!  Savannah ate a quarter of her cake and only stopped because we took the cake away.  You*ll love the pictures!  After saying good bye to all of the friends and family, we went to dinner with Whitney and Brian and their kids.  It seems like a tradition we are beginning, go eat Mexican after birthday parties.  We*ve done it for all three kids birthdays this year. :)  We also had a mini birthday party on Savannah*s birthday.  Our friends came over and Savannah played with her friends on her birthday.  She had so much fun.  She didn*t want to anything to do with cake on her birthday.  I think she was caked out after her birthday party.  She has LOVED every gift and Robert and I are so thankful to have wonderful friends and family to share our family with!

Savannah is turning a year old.  For her birthday invitation and her 11 month pictures, I had a friend take pictures of Savannah at the park.  She was precious and had so much fun.  These are just a few of my favorite shots.

Ok, so here goes.  I haven*t taken the time to update the blog since mom passed away.  I*ve had a hard time writing about it and then never thought to continue to update anymore.  I decided to skip most of that time and give a brief recap of Savannah*s life through pictures until now.  Thanks everyone for your understanding and ENJOY!!!!!
