Savannah's Birthday

Savannah is one year old! Of course we can't believe that she is already one. It was a fast year. I know everyone always says that, but it really does fly by. It still feels like just a few months ago we brought her home from the hospital. I still remember how hard it was in the beginning when she would be awake for hours in the middle of the night and how she never wanted to eat when she was supposed to. She would go crazy at 10:00 every night for some reason and just cry for what felt like forever. Months 3-6 are kindof a blur of feedings, changing diapers, Sky's doctors appointments and therapy, and reading and re-reading the Twilight series...which totally helped me make it through. From 6 months till now really sped by with lots of vacation, company, and travelings. Even though it is a little wild sometimes, I know that she was put into our lives at exactly the right time and she is such a blessing to our family.
She weighs 17 lbs 12 oz and is 29 1/2 in tall. She is still a teeny thing but is catching up on the height curve. She can say "night-night", "bye-bye", "off" (thanks to Skylar's love for all things to come "off"), "hi", and has close approximations of- water, baby, bottle, more, all done, and shirt. She can say "quack" and "moo", but prefers to say that every animal roars like a lion...including Minnie Mouse. Everyone roars.
Now while she is being changed she likes to roll up into a crunch position and point to her belly button. She has abs of steal and can stay like that forever! She loves to be funny and makes some hilarious faces to get a good laugh. It is funny to see such a big personality on such a tiny little girl. She is walking more and more now and can really get going when she wants to. It is still mostly a few steps and then fall down and get back up, but on her birthday we went to Romp N Roll and she walked about 30 steps in a row in the wide open space. She had a blast. Here are some pictures from her big day...

I think they look like little and big book ends...





We went home after Romp N Roll to open presents and have cupcakes...

She wasn't really crazy about the cupcake but had fun playing with it.




Sky had fun making a mess too!



Happy Birthday Savannah!!
