standing up

Savannah stood up all by herself the other day. She was sitting on our bed, and all of a sudden, she just pushed herself right up, and threw her arms up in the air just as proud as could be. Then she did it a few more times and said "yayyy." It was so wonderful and cute.

Today, I feel rather ill. I don't know exactly what has caused this sudden onset of ickyness, but it's no fun.

We are going to Colorado in a couple of weeks, and we are so excited. I'm really excited, because I'll get to meet everybody, and everyone will get to see Savannah. I can't wait!

Photofriday entry. Rest. My little angel. 

the not-so-looked-forward-to milestones

Savannah has learned how to pick her nose. And when I tell her no and pull her finger out, she thinks it's funny and laughs at me. Actually, she laughs at me whenever I try and discipline her. She's also learned how to climb up the safety gate to the kitchen. I looked over the other day when I heard her crying, and saw that she was half-way up the gate. She's done that a few more times since then. She never makes it very far up though.

She's growing like a little bitty weed. She's the most curious little thing. She has to investigate everything! Lately, hide and seek has been her thing. She likes to grab the bottom of her dress and throw it over her head and then "reappear." It's funny when she thinks we can't see her, cause she'll be laughing under her dress.

She knows who people are now. She knows who mama, dada, and nana are. As well as doggy and Bubba. If she even hears the dog's collar shake, she'll sit up and say "doddy!" It's amazing sometimes.

What a pose!  

after all these days

Savannah is calling everything "Bubba" now. Bubba is one of our cats' names. It's really funny to see her chasing him around going, "Bubba! Bubba! Buuuubbaaaa!" She's also said something that closely resembled "turtle" in reference to her chewy turtle. That was exciting.

Still no walking, but I'm sure it will happen with time, eh? She's crawling as fast as ever, and she's managed to make it all the way up the stairs in our house by herself a few times (with Rick or me closely supervising, of course). It's kinda scary watching her change so much so fast. It's just all flying by.

The doctor told us that she needs to gain weight. Apparently, she doesn't realize that Savannah is small like me. Everyone else thinks that Savannah is perfectly healthy. So what if she's not fat? She's active, she's happy, what more could we want?

She's learning new things everyday. Lately she's been getting her toy phones and holding them up to her ear and talking. And she gets her board books and turns the pages and points to things while she "reads." It's so cute. She loves books. Sometimes she'd rather look at a book than play with her toys.
