Savannah 5 months old

Savannah is 5 months old now. She has a big personality for such a tiny little thing. She gets the baby death grip on anything she can reach. She especially loves to grab the inside of her sleeve while we try to get her dressed. I think she is working on a tooth too and she loves to try and bite on your shoulder when you are holding her. She still loves to watch Skylar and smiles at her a lot. She is very close to rolling from her back to her tummy and she still loves to stand up so she can check everything out. She doesn't miss a thing and is always looking around.
She sleeps about 11 hours at night now and still naps pretty good during the day. I had to actually wake her up one morning because we had to be somewhere. She started her sleepy squirming and stretching when I walked in and then I leaned over her crib and she was just barely blinking her eyes and she caught a glimpse of me. With her eyes still closed she got a huge smile on her face. So sweet! She is always happy to see us. There is a time in the afternoon now where she and Skylar are both asleep at the same time. I am getting so spoiled with a good catch up break and will be very sad when sleeping schedules change again.
We started feeding her solids this month and so far her favorite is pears. She eats about 75% and spits the other 25% out. I think thats actually a pretty good record for our household! She is getting better at eating her bottle too.

Nashville

Here are some pictures of the girls lately and some pictures from my spur of the moment trip to Nashville over the weekend...

Thanks Lauren for the cute matching outfits!

In action...tickle for the camera shot

I got to go to Nashville over the weekend thanks to Jenny and a free standby pass. I loved getting to see Benjamin and all the new things he is doing. I got to hang out with family and meet up with a few friends too- it was a great (but exhausting) weekend. Savannah got to come along for the ride too to meet everyone. I have learned that traveling with a baby is just hard even with a usually easy baby. She did not love being out of her element and fought going to sleep big time. She did OK on the plane on the way there, but on the way home she was over it after a fun weekend of being constantly entertained and not sleeping much. Luckily the people around us were pretty nice and we got no evil looks while she was fussy.

Savannah got to see her first dogs this weekend. Sadie and Parker- she just kept watching them and trying to figure them out.

Benjamin....I mean does it get any cuter than this!?!

Jenny and Ben. We spent lots of time hanging out on the deck. Ryan made a yummy drink I had never tried before called a pimm's cup with fresh cucumbers.

Ben is showing Savannah his favorite toy of the day....his purple spoon.

Savannah taking a nap on Uncle Ryan and Aunt Jenny's bed...all cozy surrounded by pillows (including one she pulled on top of herself)

So happy in the morning in my make shift bed.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend with a fun visit from Mimi. The weather was beautiful and we got to spend some time in the Jeep for the first time this year. Skylar loves riding in the Jeep and puts her feet up on the back of the front seat. The girls had fun with Mimi and Savannah showed off her excellent squealing skills for her. Skylar's favorite Easter Basket present was her new truck that she proceeded to push around most of the day.
Thanks Aunt Minde for outfitting the girls for Easter!
