Last night 11/26

Savannah Paige, Savannah Paige, what can I say? She is growing up. She is walking all over the place, getting into everything, and getting more teeth! She isn't wanting to sleep through the night anymore, and wakes up at random times, and of course, Daddy needs his sleep to go to work in the morning, so Mommy has to get up and TRY to be the bad guy and make her go back to sleep, but it never seems to work because Mommy is so tired and doesn't want to fight her, so Savannah ends up in our bed, not making it much more possible for me to sleep with either her feet or hands slapping me every five minutes. How you like that run on sentence?
Savannah is eating lots of new things too. Most of the time she eats what we do, but we still buy some baby food. She likes spaghetti, pizza, macaroni and cheese, and she still likes her mixed cereal in the morning. At lunch, most of the time she has a turkey or ham and cheese sandwich. Yes, I give my daughter cheese even though I don't eat it. Except on pizza. She loves her sandwiches. And crackers. And Milk. She really doesn't drink much juice because we want to save her teeth, but every now and then she gets some. Oh, and does she know when we have goodies. Especially ice cream. We'll be sitting on the couch with OUR ice cream and she comes over and wedges her way between our legs and gives us this puppy dog sweet face and of course we give her some. And then she wants more. And more. Until we run out.
She says Mama and Dada all the time now. Mostly Mama right now. Everything is Mama. She also says Hi and Bye, accompanied by a dainty little wave. She randomly does it too. She says hi to everyone. But only when she feels like it. If we try to make her, she won't of course. She jabbers up a storm all day. She really is adorable in the morning, but half the time I'm still sleepy and irritated that I'm up, that I don't notice.
Carter is working a ton right now, getting lots of overtime (yippee, now it's actually paid overtime), but he's enjoying his job. I'm trying to get Christmas shopping done, Christmas pictures taken, cards ready, along with all my other daily duties.. But it's a fun time of year and I love it.



Look at Savannah's nice little scratch that she gave herself. Right before we're going to take pictures tomorrow.
Ohhhh....
If you look real close, you can see her two top teeth.
I just thought this was funny.

Playing ball with Granny Goose.

Here is my other Christmas dress too! It's a little bit big, but she'll grow into it. If she'd just keep the bow on for more than five seconds, that would be great!

Thanksgiving at the Johnston's

No, we didn't eat with BOTH families, so don't get the idea that we just pigged out on Thanksgiving. We went and visited with Carter's side in the morning and then came to my families for actual dinner.


This one is so hilarious. If you could see Savannah more, I would use this as our card.

Hey Dodger, is it ok if I just grab your tail?...
and eat it?

Thanksgiving with the Cherry's

Grandma B & Savannah.



We had Barbara take all of these pictures in hopes that maybe we could use one for our Christmas card. However, either Savannah isn't even looking at the camera or has her eyes shut, so I don't know that any of them will work. But otherwise, I think they're so cute.

Savannah

I love this dress! You can't really see, but she has on little beige tights and brown leather shoes with pink rhinestones.

This is the Christmas dress that Uncle Taylor got for Savannah LAST Christmas, and she just now fits into it. It's pretty cute though.

You want some...

Here Mommy....open please.

What are you eating Savannah?

Daddy and Savannah were just so pooped after all the excitement that they just passed out on our last night there.
On the way to the airport I tried to take some random pictures of things that I saw, so these are them.


Familiarity.

Kristen & Brian.
I really like this picture of Austin.
One of the buildings at the resort was called Savannah.
Grandma and Savannah.
All of us at the Mexican restaurant on our last night there. It sucks that you can't see anyone in the back.

Trying to find the perfect spot.
It was nap time for Savannah & Grandpa!
So, my Mom and I had just got out of the water and walked over to our chairs and all the sudden my Mom was like "Look, theirs a crab." At first I didn't even see it because it blended with the sand so much but once I saw it, I was a little creeped out. Look at those EYES!! So I had to get a picture of it.

The day after the wedding

The day after the wedding we all got together at the other resort and hung out by the pool and at the beach and later that night had a nice Mexican dinner.



I love this one, it's like, "Hey, you let me walk, I'll walk right away!"
Laying out.

After the wedding

Austin holding Savannah at the Tepanyaki restaurant that we ate at after the wedding.
Back at our hotel, Savannah was so excited to walk around, and around, and around. We didn't let her walk much on the vacation because we were worried about her stepping on something or things just not being clean enough for our standards.
