A Lot to Tell!

It has been a while since I've updated the blog. We have had so much going on that I haven't had the time to sit down and load all of the pictures we have taken. I'm not as good as our counterparts (Noah & Kylie) about posting to the blog:), but I'm going to try and do a little better.

Perhaps the biggest news in our family is the birth of Kylie Mae Parham. She is beautiful and very much adored by her parents (Uncle Waylon and Aunt Robin), as well as by her big brother (Cousin Noah). Here is a picture of little Kylie.

We are certainly enjoying the fall weather here in Raleigh. We took Savannah to a pumpkin patch and let her pick out a pumpkin for Halloween. Here is a shot of her running through the mums. She is so mobile now and does not want you to hold her when there is exploring to be done!

Did I mention that Savannah is very BUSY? She is very inquisitive and in to everything! So, dressing as a bee for Halloween (A BUSY Bee) was just perfect! This isn't the best shot, but it is the only one we could get with the antennas on. She isn't a fan of anything on her head (including hairbows).

As I said before, I have been tracked out of school for 3 weeks. I decided to keep Savannah home with me one week instead of sending her to daycare. We had the best time! I really enjoyed being with her everyday and as you might imagine I was always looking for things to keep us busy during the day. We played outside - a LOT, as well as went to the Marbles Museum, on play dates, and of course shopping! The following pictures are from our week at home.

Outside on the porch Halloween day. Just look at that little expression...

Having snack with her lamb. She brings him everywhere.

In the backyard...playing in her new sandbox. A gift from Nana and Granddaddy! She LOVES to play outside and is really grumpy if she can't get outside!

Speaking of Nana and Granddaddy....they came to our house and stayed with Savannah for 5 days while we went to the Dominican Republic! Sean and I took a trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and stayed at an all inclusive resort there. We had a wonderful time. Sean told the staff that we were on our honeymoon and we were upgraded to a 5 room suite! We enjoyed our time alone in the sun, but believe me, we were very ready to see our baby again! Thanks to Nana and Granddaddy, she didn't miss a beat. They took wonderful care of her! She loves them so much!!!

Here is a picture of Sean and I in the pool, next to the swim up bar of coure:_!

Yesterday Sean and I were both off from work, so we could spend the day with Savannah after being gone for 5 days. We had fun just lounging around the house and playing. We did take her to her 15 month check up. She got her immunizations, as well as the H1N1 vaccination. Right now, she has a cold and cough. We hope she doesn't develop anything more! Here are the stats from her 15 month appointment. Weight: 22.8 lbs. Height 31 1/2 inches. Her weight is in the 25% range and her height is in the 75% range. She is going to be tall!
