Disappearing Baby!

A couple more pictures from when Nana, Papa, & GG came to visit...

We had so much fun! Mommy, Daddy, and I are going to be with Nana, Papa, and GG when we celebrate my first Easter. I'm so excited! Then, Grandma Judy & Grandpa Rod are going to come to stay at our house to visit us for a few days. AND Daddy is going to be home for a WHOLE WEEK because of Spring Break. What FUN!

Speaking of fun, I've been learning lots of fun ways to avoid napping lately! Mommy and Daddy always lay me down in my crib, and until this weekend, I was pretty much "stuck" until they came to get me. Not any more! On Saturday, I figured out how to SIT UP on my own! Then, today, I gave Mommy a bit of a scare... She was watching me on what she calls the "video monitor" and all of a sudden, I disappeared. She ran upstairs and quietly opened the door... No worries, Mommy! I was right there... STANDING UP in the crib! :)

I'm excited to be learning all of these new things. So excited, in fact, that I haven't been napping very well. For some reason, Mommy isn't quite as excited about that. Hmmmm...

Happy Easter, everyone!

Love,

Mommy and I had some visitors today - Nana Daune, Papa Charlie, and GG (Great Grandma)! It was so much fun having them here. We went out to lunch - I was suggesting Subway for a Five Dollar Footlong (notice my hand below...), but got overruled. :)


While Nana, Papa, and GG were here, I even got to model some! Mommy said that I'm going to be part of the Children's Dedication at church in a few weeks, and that we need to send in a picture. So... I got my silver brush out... put a bow in my hair...



...put on a few pretty dresses...


...and after some serious thought...

...decided to give Mommy a few good smiles. :) Which picture do YOU like best? Help Mommy and Daddy decide which one to send in for the slideshow during the Dedication Ceremony!

Spring Has Sprung!

Mommy, Daddy, and I had an AWESOME day today! Today is my first day of Spring EVER - and it is SO pretty outside! After some napping this morning, the three of us jumped in the Mommy-Van and headed out for lunch. We sat on the patio of a restaurant and I got to have my first bottle in the sunshine. Right next to where we were sitting were some really pretty Cherry Blossom Trees... they're the perfect color - PINK! We took a few pictures under the trees.

We even walked around to a fountain. Here's a picture of me pointing to the fountain. Mommy and Daddy asked me, "Who's number 1?" so I figured I'd tell them that I am! :)

What a pretty day to be a Carolina Girl!

Happy Spring, everyone!

Love, Savannah Grace

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I got to celebrate another holiday today - St. Patrick's Day! I think holidays are fun - I get to dress up and Mommy usually takes me somewhere. Good times! :)

We started our day out with breakfast at home. There's nothing like oatmeal with peaches. Yumm-my! I even got to wear my St. Patrick's Day bib.

Pretty snazzy, huh?
After a nap, we headed out to see some of my buddies at Daddy's school. I got to stop by his classroom during Team Time and see some of his students, then Mommy and I had lunch with "the girls" - Aunts Maria, Sarah, and Elizabeth. They're lots of fun - and they even convinced Mommy to let me try my first brownies. I'm still not too sure about putting food in my mouth that isn't liquid-like, but after a little while I realized that I like the taste of the chocolate... although I thought it was more fun to suck on the container that once held the chocolate treats. Here are some pictures of me and the girls...

I had a lot of fun pulling Miss Maria's hair and pulling at Miss Elizabeth's face! It was nice to have a change from yanking at Mommy's hair - I think she enjoyed the change, too! :)

I also got to read two of my favorite books to Ms. Donna's class - The Gingerbread Man and Good Night. Ms. Donna and Ms. Beverly sure are sweet - and I love all of my friends who are in their class. Mommy tells me about them all the time; I think she misses seeing them every day! Anyway, I had so much fun seeing everyone and sharing my books with them.

Once we got home, I spent some time napping and then playing a little more before bedtime. Here are some pictures of me playing with some of my favorite toys...

This is my new "rocking butterfly" - I have lots of fun rocking on her and pulling at her wings and antenna!

I also like to "ride" on my car - Miss Danielle gave me this. It even has gears - it's like my own "Mommy Van"!

This is my Leap Frog table. Mommy propped it up for me so that I can pull myself up. Now I can sit up, stand up (holding on!), and pull myself up - almost to standing!

Mommy said that I should tell everyone about my bath last night. I'm really getting into my bath toys - especially my cups and my pink rubber ducky. Last night, I was playing with two of my cups, and Mommy asked me if I wanted to play with my rubber ducky. Silly Mommy - she thought that if she gave me the duck that I might put down one of the cups in order to play with it. Nope, I've got one more place I can hold stuff besides my two hands... my mouth! Daddy thinks I've come up with a new game.... Cup, Cup, Duck! (Rather than Duck, Duck, Goose...) Hey, whatever you want to call it - it's a lot of fun!

These are my cups...

Here's my pink rubber ducky. My hands were full, so I decided to hang onto it with my new teeth - I've got THREE teeth now... and am working on my fourth!

And here we go... Cup, Cup, Cup, DUCK!!!

Hope you have fun in your bathtub, too!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Love,
