Swingin' and Slapshin'

This past weekend daddy put up a swing in the back yard for Savannah's enjoyment! As you can see by the pictures, she did have a good time....

After a hard day playing, Savannah is ready for a quick dip in the tub where she is able to splash around and have even more fun!

Then its off to bed... wait a minute.... what do you mean your not sleepy yet?

Savannah has been growing by leaps and bounds! Everyday is something new and exciting. She is getting to be very mobile and is crawling all over the place. She is pulling up on things as you can see in her crib pictures. And, she is just amazing us with all the new things that she is learning day to day! We love her so much and cannot even remember what our world was like before she brightened up our lives! Thank you Savannah for showing us what a world full of love is meant to be!

Savannah Crawls...

Here is a little video of Savannah. In the past few days she has started crawling and as you can see, she almost has it down!

7 months & ____7 years!

Savannah celebrated 7 months on Saturday, March 6th. Where does the time go? I celebrated my 37th birthday on March 4th. The pictures below are from our family celebration. Savannah enjoyed playing with cousin Noah and seeing her family!

Savannah and Noah. I love the way she is looking up at him in this picture.



















Uncle Waylon and Savannah. How cute is this dress? It was a Christmas present from Uncle Waylon and Aunt Robin!
























Cheeeeeeeese!





















I couldn't resist this picture! Sean snapped this one of Savannah cuddled up with her blanket one night.

Savannah crawled for the first time on Tuesday, March 10th! Watch out world...here she comes!! Stay tuned for video of her crawling.

Savannah has had a ROUGH week!

Last week Savannah was not feeling well and was not sleeping well either. We took her to the Doctor and they put her on Amoxicillan for an ear infection. Poor thing! The next day we started noticing a rash on her head and thought she might be having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. We took her back to the Dr and they told us that it was not an allergic reaction but rather that she had contracted Chicken Pox. Needless to say, the past week has not been very fun for Savannah. Here are few pictures of the outbreak. Don't you feel sorry for her?

As if the were not enough - our little girl has also been cutting two teeth! Both bottom front teeth appeared within the last three days! Here are two pictures that we managed to snap of her new toothy grin... (please forgive the blurriness - Savannah wouldn't cooperate.)

As promised...

Here are the pictures from the 6 month sitting for our little angel!

6 Month Pictures

Here is a little "teaser" for you!! Savannah had her 6 month pictures last week and we were able to take these two home with us. Enjoy:)!

6 Months & Sunshine

Savannah turned 6 months on Feb. 6th. We had a very busy day with 6 month pictures at Lundies, a 6 month check-up with the pediatrician (and shots), and best of all...a half birthday party for Savannah that night. Nana, Grandad, Uncle Waylon, Aunt Robin, and Noah came over for a spaghetti dinner and family time. Savannah's "stats" from her check-up are as follows:

Weight: 16lbs.12oz.

Length: 26"

Head Circumference: 41 1/2 cm

Such a big girl...sitting up by herself now.

I am a fashion icon!

"What a long day it has been!"

We had 70 degree weather here in Raleigh over the weekend. Savannah was very tired with a fever on Saturday (due to the immunization shots Friday), so we weren't able to get out until Sunday. We went for a walk in the neighborhood and hung out on the lawn with Kaleb. Savannah absolutely enjoyed being outside in the sunshine.

Mommy and Savannah soaking in some sunshine!

What a cutie!

On Saturday, I took Kaleb to the vet due to his limping on one leg. The vet gave me the worst news...Kaleb has a bone tumor. We were there 2 weeks ago and this tumor did not show up on the x-rays, so the vet has determined that it is growing at a rapid pace. This rapid pace indicates a not so good prognosis. I'm sorry to say that my companion for the last 9 years will have to be put to sleep in the near future. He is on pain medication to keep him comfortable, but the vet told me to brace myself that he will begin to get worse and there will come a point where he is just not comfortable any longer. Kaleb has been with me through so much and has seen my life become the blessing that it is today. Sean made me see that maybe he feels like I can do without him now. I'm going to continue to think in this manner, but I will miss him with all of my heart! Here a few snapshots of Kaleb. The first one was taken today (Sunday) as he sat outside with Savannah and I.
