I Suck my TOES!

Ok...so this might be the cutest thing I've ever seen. Savannah not only found her feet, she sucks on her toes! I'm pretty convinced she thinks there is a paci attached to her body. She full on sucks on her toes...I love it. Here are some vids and pics so you can see my lil booger suck on her feeters! Oh and her diaper rash isn't nearly as bad as it appears in the video.


I'm Starting to like this tummy stuff

Smiling pretty

I can get the toy

It's not that far

MMM blue fabric my fave!


Found my foot!

Can I get it in my mouth?

YES!

MMMMM tastes like chicken!

AHHHHHHHHHH! I love to scream!

This video is me sneaking up on Savannah to catch her with her feet in her mouth...



This is of Savannah in the bath, she's starting to splash around and really have fun! She loves to play with her bath toys...err well her toes.


This is us after the bath, her jibber jabber is so presh!

Put in my place...and playtime!



You know when you have one of those days where you pity yourself...poor me...woe is me, life isn't fair...I need to win the lottery...if only I didnt have to do this...and then something smacks you in the forehead like those V8 commercials... *DOINK* So I was having that kinda day today...I had a serious case of the "mondays". I wanted to sleep more when the alarm went off, I took an extra long shower just standing there prolonging the envevitable, and I had an extremely hard time saying goodbye to Savannah. I just didn't want to do "it" whatever "it" was. Pretty sure "it" was work...he he. Anyway on my way home from work I was listening to Dr. Laura who although shrewd, brash, and what can I say a total BIATCH, totally put things in perspective. She did her "daily email" where someone speaks to a previous caller who focuses on bickering instead of the important things in life. The writer goes on to say she wishes she could bicker with her husband but she can't because although he was healthy he died of a sudden heart attack, or the next caller who recently lost a child. SO I'm reduced to tears driving home thinking...and I was complaining??? Seriously complaining about WHAT? I walk in the door hug the love of my life, his mom, and my baby and vow to never pity myself again.

On a much lighter note...

Here are some pics of Savvy and I playing!!! I know its hard to switch gears here but try, because these are fun! Love my bebe pod! And mommy is being silly!
ChillinDid you call me?
I want to eat this toy but it wont move!
Get it off! I must nibble on it!Ok I'll get it myself!MMMMMM
I can sit all by myself!
Me and my first doll!
Reading a book!
All things girly... are PINK!
Whoa FLASH!
I play this game where I take her doll and raise it above her and bring it down for kisses. She cracks up!
Here she comes for kisses!!She loves this game!


Love,

I talk to myself...

Ok something I never thought motherhood would bring me...insanity! Not really but those seeing me from afar would think so! I've read countless times that babies like to be talked too, and since you can't really have convo's with them dr.'s suggest narrating what you're doing. Or saying your to-do list out loud. So whenever I'm with Savannah we "chat". She hears about my day, what I'm cooking, how pretty she is, yada yada. I've gotten into a pretty good habit of it, SO good that I do it when she's not there. Here is where people think I'm cuckoo for cocoa puffs. I'll be walking, ALONE, and I'll be jabbering to myself until I catch myself and look around to see people staring at me. Like yesterday I walked out of work, and it was such a pretty day and I go "wow, its soo nice out maybe we'll go for a walk after work, wow no clouds, and its barely even humid" then I realize I'm talking out loud. Whip my neck around to see if anyone saw me and some coworkers are walking to their cars looking at me. I wave and jump into my car as fast as I can. They think I'm nuts now fo sho...oh well. Savannah likes to hear me talk!

She learned to Scream!

Of all the milestones I was waiting and looking for, I don't think I ever expected this one. Savannah has learned to Scream, and it scares the heck out of me when she does it! I remember my sister Christina telling me Bennett did this often and it would freak her out. I chalked that up to him being a "boy" and being louder. Surely my delicate little baby girl wouldn't do this. YEAH right! Check out the vid below, don't turn your volume up to loud her screams are ear piercing!

Savvy Goes West!

What an AMAZING trip to sunny so cal...although I think we need a vacation from our vacation! It was a blast! SO many things were fit in, so many people got to finally meet our baby girl! It was truly so great to finally go west. I made a slideshow of some of the highlights. We had a "Meet Savannah Party" on Saturday evening which was wonderful. Then on Sunday my mom flew in, and we took family pics at the beach. Monday we went to Balboa Park with Moni and Little Jack and had a fabulous lunch and just toured the beautiful place. Its been too long since I'd walked the grounds there! Wednesday we went to the races which is a 5 year tradition and it was fun fun as usual. I was lucky enough to meet up with my friends and spend some quick QT with them in the hallway over some Veuve. Check out the slideshow! Video of the races to follow!



Love Always,
Jen and Savvy

Our Visit to Augusta, Ga!

We had a WONDERFUL trip to Augusta to meet baby Brody and celebrate the 4th of July. Brody is precious with a head full of hair, and he makes the cutest little noises! Brooke and Adam were fabulous hosts cooking, and driving us around. Their dogs are so cute too, we loved being around the entire bunch!
For the 4th we went to the pool, went to a party, and the next day had breakfast and took a stroll along the Savannah River!! It was a great trip and we were sad to say goodbye. Good news is we'll be back in Augusta mid August when I have my state tennis tournament! Yay! Savannah and Brody had a fun time together, check out the pics in the slideshow below!

And a little side note.. SAVANHAH ROLLED OVER YESTERDAY! She's been OH so close stretching her little body to the side. We knew it would be anyday. Well I went home for lunch and laid her on her belly for "tummy time"...and there she rolled. Luckily I had my camera too so I got some great pics which I'll post later. She's getting so big! I can't believe she rolled over on her own (and the fact that I was home to see it made is so much sweeter)!!!
