Big Bear

We took an anniversary getaway trip to Big Bear, just the two of us.  We had the most wonderful time eating, sleeping, hiking, and enjoying beautiful Big Bear together.

St George Tri

Chris raced in the St George Tri and we all had so much fun being there with him!
 Breakfast at the tri-we had to get up at 5am to make it down to St George in time.
 Cheerleaders!
 Ready to go!
 Savannah was so good as we waited to see Chris go by
 
 
 He finished with a smile!!!  Way to go, Chris!!!
 
Savannah fell asleep on the way to the car-what a cutie

Brian Head

We took a quick trip to Brian Head to enjoy the mountain air before Chris's tri.
 
 
 
 This little chipmunk made its way into the cabin through the stovepipe...Chris blocked its pathway in and it spent the rest of our trip sitting on the vent outside.
 
 
 

10 months


Happy 10 months, Savannah!

You are getting to be such a fun and cute little girl and we are having a great time learning more and more about your personality.  Here are a few things you have done this month:

Little miss explorer.  Now that you are an expert crawler, you can get to many more places with greater speed.  You have enjoyed the freedom to use the kitchen table, chairs, and highchair as your personal jungle gym and  you even tried to hang from the table...sorry, sweetie, you are just not tall or strong enough...yet.  You like to find funny places to crawl like under your crib, over the bars on the bottom of chairs, through the bottom space of you exersaucer...and you often find yourself stuck in one of these silly places.

The pool has been a lot warmer, thanks to AZ spring weather, and you love to splash!  You like to be held by daddy, mommy, or float in your little floatie-as long as you are in the water.  You get so excited when we turn on your bath because you know you get to play in the water and you even get excited and crawl to the side of the shower when mommy or daddy turns the water on for our shower.  I think you would take 10 baths a day if we let you!

8 teeth!  And they all are getting so big that they show in most of your cute smiles and laughs.  Here's to hoping for a little break before the molars decide to ruin our nights!

It was fun celebrating my first mother's day with my sweet little daughter.  Thanks for being part of our family and making me a mommy!  I love you so much!!

You got to watch daddy graduate with his MBA-hooray! You were so cute in your own little graduation gown.  Daddy has been home a lot between his graduation and the start of working in a few weeks so you have been able to spend a lot of time with him.  He loves to take you on walks to the park and to look at the animals in the store.  You go crazy at the pets in the mall pet store and neither one of you get tired of going to PetSmart.

We found out this month that you are going to be a big sister to a little sister!  You were so cute and quiet in the ultrasound and when the technician announced it was a girl, you giggled like you already knew.  It was very sweet.  Are you ready to share everything??
 
Love you, sweet Savannah!
