Picture Overload and Things I Want to Remember

Here are just some fun pictures of Savannah from this past summer and fall. We love her lots!

 

Learning all about stickers.

Being naughty! I came into her room one morning to find she had pulled all of the things off of the table next to her crib. She seemed pretty happy about it!

Cute in her overalls!

 

Crazy hair!

Such a happy girl.

 

Being an Ewok for Halloween.

 

Playing in the leaves

Fun at the zoo with cousins!

Being naughty! I heard a noise in the kitchen the other day and when I went to investigate Savannah had pulled a stale doughnut out of the garbage and was eating it.

 

 Success! I stole the doughnut!

Play date with Penelope!

 

 Pretty in pink.

Things I Want to Remember:

• The first time you used your imagination was on the flight home from Utah in October. You would pretend to pick up a piece of food and eat it. You thought it was hilarious when mommy and daddy started to play along.
• You love doing laundry with mommy. You sit in the middle of the bed and get buried in the clothes!



•  You started walking in August 2013. You had taken a few steps here and there but the first time you really walked by yourself neither mommy or daddy were paying attention. We were both doing something and suddenly realized you had walked from the coffee table over to the TV where mommy was all by yourself. We were so sad to miss those first steps but were excited about everything you could now do!

 

• After you turned one your learning rate was exponential. Daddy and I were amazed with how fast you began learning how to do things like a fist-bump, using a fork, drinking out of a straw (the first time was at PF Chang's when we forgot a sippy cup--good thing you decided to figure out how to use a straw!), and climbing up the stairs (in Utah from the basement to the main floor).
• You LOVE juice. If we give you juice you will literally drink the entire sippy cup full in a matter of minutes!
• You always have to have something in each hand whether that be treatsies, pots and pans, or empty milk jugs.

• Your language skills have increased so much since you turned one. By seventeen months you would repeat most things mommy and daddy would say and you would say other things on your own. Your favorite words were Jesus, juice, ball (bok), bottle (bo-ok), hot (ot...you would push away your bottle and say "ot! ot!" even if it was cold), George (from Curious George), animal noises for animals such as sheep, squirrels :), and monkeys. Mommy's favorite was when you learned to say "No, no, no." You would pucker your lips and your little voice was so cute!
• You are obsessed with mommy's jewelry. You love to put on necklaces and to carry around jewelry throughout the house.

•  You got all four of your molars at the same time during October. It was not a very happy experience.
• You love the park and playing on the playground. After becoming mobile you were able to not only swing but to also walk around the play set and slide down the slide. The first time mommy let you free on the playground you were so scared but soon you warmed up to it and it became one of your favorite things to do!
