Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes!

Well no bells on her toes, but she did have a ring on her finger! This ring was my baby ring when I was tiny! Savannah has one too but hers is still too big. Precious! (And hard to photograph!)
Oh, and I'm somewhat confident I might have seen a tooth breaking thru tonight! We'll see!

Pumpkin Patch!

Last weekend and the weekend before, Birc and I took Savannah to two different pumpkin patches! We had a great time at both! Here are some pictures :)

BoBrook was definitely the better of the two pumpkin patches.  Way more to do and better cheaper pumpkins!

They have all these 'see how tall you are this year" boards to stand up against!

Love this picture with her tiny smile :)

This is at Motley, which is also a Christmas tree farm as you can see behind us.  I made her dress the night before we went :)

This was the only plus to Motley-a swing set! Savannah loved it!
 

Bye bye, train ride! I'll catch ya next year!

more measurers. :)

What is this thing and why are there thousands around???

Bed Head

I know Savannah will kill me in 15 years for posting this picture, but it is SO hilarous to me! She had JUST woken up and I was washing my hands in the bathroom  after changing her diaper and had to put her down and noticed her CRA-CRAZY hair.  Somehow she managed to crimp it on the side there. I can only imagine what it will look like as it gets longer!

Savannah at 10 months

It is hard to believe (I type this every month I think) that Savannah is 10 months old! I can't believe how fast the time flies.  She is so precious and I think this is my favorite age yet.  She is babbling up a storm and says all kinds of fun stuff that we can't understand yet.  She has definitely started figuring out how to make her own decisions and we have really starting exercising the word "no" lately.  Sometimes when I say no, she looks straight into my eyes and makes a spitting sound.  Not a good sign for the few years ahead! Other times she rolls her bottom lip down and wails a huge cry with massive tears and acts like we've just told her the worst thing she could imagine. 

 

Savannah weighed 18 pounds and 10 ounces about a week after her 10 month birthday, and she's not grown too much taller that I can tell.  She is still wearing the same clothes she wore all summer so I know she's slowing down on the growing train.  She's wearing even still some 6-9 month clothes but mostly 9-12 and 12 month clothes that I roll the sleeves up on.  She's eating solids 3 times a day and nursing 4 times a day. 

 

 

Savannah Cate's eating has definitely taken off this past month.  She still has, seriously, NO TEETH but can gum down almost anything and likes everything we eat more than her baby food.  She is crawling all over and pulling up on everything.  She has started standing on her own for almost a minute at a time before she realizes what she's doing and grabs ahold of something.  I think walking is just around the corner!

Savannah is, not surprisingly, still not sleeping through the night consistently.  Most of the month she woke up just one time each night but sometimes it was twice.  I can handle that.  What I can't handle is the 4 or 5 or 6 times a night.  That just makes me want to pull my hair out.  But I can see improvement and that is what I am happy about!

She is such a mama's girl right now and hardly lets me put her down or pass her to someone else, even Birc.  She clings to me every time I'm holding her.  Which I love but it is kind of restrictive when I am doing an activity that requires two hands.  But I know it won't be like that for long so I am soaking it up anyway :) 

Savannah we love you so much and think you are the greatest gift God has ever given us! We love watching you learn and experience new things and get so excited to see you try something or show you something new!  Can't wait to see what our next month holds!

Halloween Wear

I've always loved seasonal wear, and now that I have a baby girl I love it EVEN MORE! Here is sweet Savannah in her "Daddy's under my spell" shirt with matching pants and socks outfit, and her skeleton pjs! Adorable!  I'm hoping my mom and I can make some applique stuff in the next week and maybe a little dress too!

 

Our Weekend

Well, here it is Thursday and I'm just now reviewing our weekend! I just have been a horrible time-manager these days and hope I can improve soon as things are only getting busier around here with birthday season here and the holidays just around the corner!

I had lunch with two dear friends and their babies, all three of these cuties are within 20 days of each other I think! Caleb and Caroline and Savannah LOVE our lunches these days :)

 Savannah and I went up to Searcy for Friday night and all day Saturday because Birc was working, and we couldn't wait to see CC and Grandad! My high school class had another mini-reunion tailgate at the Homecoming game on Friday so Savannah and I wore our red and black to support the Lions! They won too, but it was cold and rainy so to avoid a cold we only stayed about half an hour at the game.  Savannah wore a coat for the first time!

 

We came home and had the best time playing with CC and Grandad and Savannah did not want to go to bed but we all eventually got some rest and got ready for some Saturday fun! Savannah and I went up and toured the new part of SHS and let me tell you-those kids that go to the public school in Searcy are LUCKY.  That school has the best of the best and the newest, state-of-the-art, awesomest equipment and amenities and we loved getting to see all the changes since I graduated!  Then we came home and watched a Hog win, ate lunch and Banana Pudding with Granddaddy, Grandad and CC, and swing outside for a bit. Everybody got a good nap in at some point and then we went to Mazzio's for a yummy salad bar dinner! Then S went to sleep in the carseat while I drove home!

on the school tour, we got to hear the choir perform and then old choir members were invited to join in on the Alma Mater!

 

 

 

first try of Grandad's banana pudding a success!

 

Sunday, Savannah looked especially precious in all pink.  Girly girl!

 

Caddo was LOVING her! She even had pink shoes and it was her first time to wear tights! Tights over a diaper baby booty is probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen, I swear. :)

 

Sorry so long! Wanted to remember this weekend!

 

 

Well, problems on my end!

Sorry but my blogger app won't let me make any posts with pictures or very many words so I will have to wait until I can get all my stuff organized on my laptop. Sorry, will resume posting in a few days!

Also, tomorrow (Wednesday) please send up prayers for a college friend and her baby girl who lost their husband/daddy to a car accident on Saturday. Matt's funeral is tomorrow and only the beginning of a painful journey for that family. I cannot fathom what they are going through but I know God can help see them through it.
