A SHARPE WEEKEND

We had a very SHARPE weekend. Savannah's Grandma Sharpe came all the way from El Paso, Texas to meet Savannah for the first time and her Aunt Sherrin, Cousin Nicole, and Cousin Ashley drove down from Maryland to meet her, as well. It was great to see so many Sharpe's together at one time and for Savannah to meet family on the Sharpe side:)! Grandma Sharpe came in on Thursday evening and got down to business with being a Grandma! Savannah loved being held and she loved Grandma's Sharpe's talking/singing to her. Grandma and Daddy babysat on Thursday evening and I went to meet Aunt Robin for a mom's night out at the melting pot. On Friday, Grandma Sharpe went to the state archives to do some genealogy research and we took Savannah to visit the Kindercare that she will be attending when I go back to work in November :(. Saturday was a very busy day for Savannah. The entire Sharpe family and the Parham's met up at the Farmer's Market for breakfast. Savannah came ready for the occasion in her pumpkin outfit. We had planned to visit a pumpkin patch after breakfast, but the rain nixed that idea. Cousin Noah and Savannah are both monkeys for Halloween and we were going to take some pictures of the two monkeys at the pumpkin patch...we'll try again later. At breakfast, Uncle Waylon got to meet and shake hands with Sidney Lowe (NC State's basketball coach). That was very exciting for him and of course Sean wanted to ask how they will do against UNC this year...but he didn't:)! Check out Noah's blog for pictures of Waylon and Sidney. After breakfast, we visited the farmer's market and picked up some fresh apples and pumpkins. Aunt Sherrin, Nicole and Ashley came back to the house and we all enjoyed visiting with each other. Unfortunately, they had to hit the road back to MD and couldn't stay for dinner. We had a great dinner to send Grandma Sharpe off in style on Sat. night. Savannah was pooped to say the least.

Savannah's 1st Visit to Charlotte

The Sharpe family took a trip to Charlotte on Sunday. I got Sean Panthers tickets for his birthday, so we left bright and early on Sunday morning (not an easy task w/a 10 week old). This also gave Savannah the chance to meet a few of my old college sorority sisters and to meet the great people Sean works with (his home office is based in Charlotte). Aunt Ericka (with a little help from Aunt Julie) was gracious enough to babysit while Sean and I went to the game. Savannah also got to meet Ericka's two children Emma Catherine and Jack and Julie's two children Emma Martin and Ian. This was the longest we have ever left Savannah (I only called twice and texted once:). After the game, we met up with Aunt Yetta and her daughter Tori to have dinner. On Monday morning, we went with Sean to his Charlotte office and met several of his coworkers. It was great to visit with everyone and to see old friends again. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Growing, Growing, Growing

Savannah is growing by leaps and bounds everyday. Her head is very strong and we are convinced she will be sitting up very soon. She has started to enjoy sitting in her BUMBO (thanks for this toy...Aunt Cassie). Here are some pictures of Savannah working on her sitting skills.

Savannah Goes To Myrtle Beach

This weekend we took a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We went with Nana and Grandpa Parham, Uncle Waylon & Aunt Robin & Cousin Noah. This was a fun trip. We got to visit with Phyllis and Clarence, who are mommy's 4th cousins, but are like an aunt and uncle to me. They are truely special people and I'm so glad they love me like they do!!! Mommy and Daddy took a ton of pictures on the trip and mommy has included pictures from different occasions, b/c she knows that is why most of you check this blog anyway:)!!

Me and Daddy on the beach

Me and Mommy on the beach Cousin Phyllis and me...I was feeling very TIRED from my 2 month shots the day before. I slept a lot of my visit on Saturday.

Me, daddy, Aunt Robin, Uncle Waylon, and Cousin Noah at the restrauntI started to feel better late Saturday afternoon. I was really trying to pull up, because I really want to sit up and look around. Aunt Robin and mommy decided to help me out with two boppies. We had fun playing on the floor!

Tummy time!

Kaleb is a great guard dog. He watches over me as I play.

Savannah Smiles!

As promised (see below) here are pictures of Savannah smiling. She is 2 months old today! It seems like yesterday that we were meeting her for the first time:)!

Date Night

Mommy and Daddy had their very first date night since my birth on Saturday. Nana and Grandpa Parham came over and they babysat me while mommy and daddy went to dinner. They went to Ruth Chris Steakhouse to celebrate daddy's 39th birthday on Wed/8. I had a good time with Nana and Grandpa. They played with me, fed me, and gave me a bath. Grandpa got some good pictures of me smiling(I'll post these as soon as I have a copy)! The evening ended great for daddy because UNC beat UCONN! Go Heels (daddy made me say that)!

Mommy and Daddy all dressed up for dinner.
