Savannah 2 months

I love my playmat!!
Rough Life!
Look how strong I am!!
Watch me grow!! I am getting bigger than my Teddy Bear!
I didn't think it was possible but she gets prettier everyday!!

So yesterday was Savannah's 2 month birthday!! We took her to the doctor today to get all her shots. They gave her 4 in the legs and one oral vaccination, she didn't even cry!! I think she gets that from her mother! So she weighs 10 pounds and 13 ounces. Her head is 15 1/8 inches which is 40%, height is 22 1/2 inches long which is 50%, and her weight is 50%. The doctor asked lots of developmental questions then did an exam for himself. He told us that she is advanced in being so alert, holding her head up on her own (which she has done from birth) and being able to reach and grab toys already!! He said that she is more like a 3 month old and some 4 month olds!! Of course this is not news to her parents we have always believed that she was a step above the rest!! She is making lots of sounds, and enjoys about 1 and half hours of playtime in between naps. She loves to smile, and she laughs. She can grab toys and wont let them go, also she loves to kick when she is on the floor. She kicked for an hour the other day on her mat, she just kept hitting the same toy because it makes a chime sound and she really got a kick out of it (haha)!!! She is just changing so fast we cant keep up with her. Playing and sleeping wow what a life!! We love her......she is a bigger Daddy's girl everyday. They are two peas in a pod!

Fourth of JULY

We went to watch fireworks at Firewheel Mall.


"Hello Poppy!"
Happy Fourth of July

Swimming for the first time.
This just cracks me up!!
So fourth of July this year, Sonny and I had my parents over for dinner. We decided that Savannah needed to go swimming. I had already bought her this little swimsuit so all we needed was the pool. Sonny ran to walmart and came home with this giant frog! She had a lot of fun, we had to make the water warm she wasn't havin that cold water, so sonny brought buckets of hot water from the sink in the kitchen outside. She only lasted about 30 minutes then she was all done. We dried her off, fed her, let her nap, then we were off to the mall for fireworks. When we got there we realized that everyone must have gotten the memo and it was packed. They had all the roads surrounding the mall roped off and it was pushing cars all into the same one lane. It was crowded but we finally found a spot. Once we walked to the center of the mall, where the fountain is that we are at in picture one, we saw lots of booths, with crafts, jewelry and purses. Of course mom and I headed straight in for them dragging dad and sonny. The weather was really nice, almost over cast and very breezy. Well we lasted at the mall maybe 2 hours before we were all ready to throw in the towel!! We headed home and begun a Wii tournament, to see who could hula the most!! Of course Sonny was secretly videoing the whole thing much to my mothers dismay. It took all the bribery in the world to even get her to give it a whirl!! Dad caught on fast and I'm pretty sure he's addicted now!! Well to wrap the night up we all had ice cream then called it a night!! What a fun day!!

Play Time!!

Playing is a lot of work but someone has to do it!!
Look at her hold her head up!! So advanced!
Okay so at this point I think I was the one having the fun!
Yes she is actually hitting the toy right there (mostly by accident) but I'm her mother what do you expect??
Oh and yes, she is standing with her feet touching the floor of her exersaucer. She's getting so big :( !!!
So Savannah and I (okay mostly me) wanted to change things up a little today and we attempted to have some fun in our exersaucer. I'm sure its a little early for climbing in and actually knowing what to do in this big pink chair, but I thought our tummy time was getting a little mundane. We did have fun, she mostly stared at everything with the occasional whacking of the toys with her arms (again more accidental than anything). So today we officially took PLAYTIME to a new level!!

Savannah week 5&6


She's trying to say "hello"

She has started smiling
She was channeling her father & PaPa here! I think they are identical!!
So Savannah seems to have new tricks for us everyday!! She is smiling when we talk to her and Im not sure who gets the bigger kick out of it her or us!! She is also trying to talk to us, she tries so hard to get these noises out that it is soo cute and could be easily confused with her I am pooping face!! So I figured out by accident one day that she can be screaming and if you take her outside she stops, instantly. I was fixing her bottle and we needed to wait for it to warm so naturally her food alarm was going off. I decided to walk to the mailbox while we waited and instantly as I opened the front door and the gush of warm air hit her she stopped crying. So now we sit out back with her while we are waiting on bottles and go for walks at night when we get fussy. It is equally as funny that when I came back in from getting the mail that the crying resumed as if it had never stopped!! Also we went to the dr. this week and we are up to 9 pounds 4 ounces!! Yea, we are gaining!!
