Happy 11 months, Savannah!

New tricks! It's so fun to watch you learn new tricks and be so proud of yourself. You learned to clap and love when we clap and you get to clap with us. We clap when you take a bite at dinner, we clap when you smile, we clap when you make a funny face, we clap when you stand up on your own, we clapped A LOT when you took a step or two without holding our hands...or realizing that you did it, we clap when we want you to be happy, we clap when you point correctly to your hair, toes, and someone else's nose. You also like to wave. You wave at us from your highchair almost constantly at dinner, you wave at the trees as we are driving in the car, you wave at mommy's hand in your mirror as we drive, you started waving at random strangers, you wave at your reflection in the mirror, you wave at the couches, you wave at the wall, really, you just like to wave.

You've stood a few times without holding on to anything. You definitely don't like to and if you realize what is happening, you immediately sit down on your bottom or lean forward and land on your hands (and knees). You also took a step or two when mommy and daddy were helping you stand on your own and your momentum took you forward. :)

You have been a great napper this month and this makes mommy very happy. You are also so happy when you wake up. You could talk and play in your crib forever! Often I hear that you are awake by the sounds of you clicking your pacifiers together rather than a cry or talking. I think you just enjoy some quiet time all to yourself sometimes.

You have done really good at trying new foods. You will take one bite of just about anything that goes on your tray. However, as soon as you have licked or eaten one bite, you form an opinion of that food and if you don't like it there is NO WAY you will try one more bite for that meal. Good thing your memory doesn't last too long between meals!

You were very sweet to daddy on his first Father's Day. You finally spotted him up on the stand at church and you had the greatest time giving him your biggest smiles. You kept turning around to make sure that mommy knew that you were so excited that you could see daddy. You sure made his day!

You survived mommy and daddy's first anniversary trip without you. You got to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house and you were so good for them! Hooray! We are happy that you love all your grandparents so much and that we got to see all of them this month.

Can you believe how the time has flown by? In one more month you will be 1 year old and I can hardly believe that it has already been 1 year. We love you so much and are so grateful that you are part of our family!

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.
