Zoo Trip

Over Labor Day weekend we took Savannah to the zoo for the first time. I had been looking forward to doing this for so long but we wanted to wait until Savannah would actually understand what we were doing and recognize the animals. Although she seemed to enjoy herself she was still a little too young to fully comprehend what was going on all the time.

 

She did enjoy the tram ride though!

 

In front of the giraffes

Definitely her favorite part was the carousel. We were very lucky to be able to each ride it once with her. Originally we had just bought one ticket so David could ride with her but then ended up getting a free ticket when a random guy ran into our stroller with his own stroller. He felt so bad about it he gave us one of their tickets that they weren't going to use so both David and I got to ride with her once. Savannah was very happy as you can tell from the pictures.

Catching Up

In going through our pictures I found a lot of fun and random shots I thought I'd post. Enjoy!

Eating sting cheese. Yum!

Picnic at the park

First time brushing her teeth. It was a success!

Trying out curlers for the first time...not very successful.

 Playing video games with daddy

 

Being naughty. I came into her room one morning and she had pulled a basket into her crib and was playing with everything inside of it. She was very proud of herself if you couldn't tell.

 So tired after church

 

 

 

Things I want to remember:

 

• Savannah started walking in August when she was around thirteen months old. David and I missed her first steps because she took them while I was cleaning something and daddy was on the computer. She walked from the coffee table to the TV where I was at and only then did David point out that she had walked over. I know, we're awesome parents ;)
• Savannah's favorite thing to do right now is to lay down anywhere she's at and just relax.
• 
  
   
• The last few months Savannah has been getting her molars. It's been a rough process and included her having her first cold during the same time. At fourteen months she now has ten teeth, five on the bottom and five on the top.
• She has started folding her arms at prayer time. Her doing this has amazed me and made me realize how much children really do pick up just by watching us because we never taught her to do this she just saw us do it and started doing it too.
• She will hug and kiss and blow kisses if asked and she will dance to music as well.
