Pure Sugar

This afternoon, Craig, Trisha and Andrew came over to eat pizza and take some photos of the kiddos. It was interesting trying to get a 2 year old and a 4 month old to sit still and smile at the same time. We did manage to get some cute photos of them together, which I will post later. In the meantime, here is one of the photos that Chris took, ain't she cute? I can't believe that she is almost 4 months old. Gosh, I love this girl so much!

Our little Genius

How funny is this picture? Savannah is getting stronger and is able to sit up with some help. This little chair helps her sit up all by herself. This picture was too funny, I had to share it. We can't believe how much Savannah has grown in the past month. She has certainly discovered her VOICE. One morning last week, Chris was getting ready for work, he walked past Savannah as she was sitting in her bouncy, Savannah screamed at him (almost like she was saying, "HELLO, you better acknowledge me Daddy!"). Chris can make her laugh out loud...from the time Savannah was about 2 months old, she and her Daddy would sit and watch football together...there is some chats that fans do at the JETS' games...so Chris decided to entertain Savannah with it one night....little did he know that she would bust a gut every time he does that chat with her. It is absolutely priceless to hear her belly laugh and then to hear Chris laugh at her. Oh yeah, as if we didn't already know this, but Savy is a little spunky thing. Her personality is definitely starting to blossom, we can honestly say that she takes after Chris and I.

FOUR years!

CAN YOU BELIVE IT?

Chris and I have been married for 4 years! This past Thursday, we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. It wasn't your ideal anniversary celebration..I was sick with a cold and feeling pretty rought! However, Chris made it very special. He came home with a beautiful bouqet of flowers that BRIGTEN my day tremedeously! We went home this past weekend and celebrated by dining on fresh Apalachicola raw oysters and an ice cold Corona(s)! Here are some photos from 4 years ago.

THE BRIDE AND GROOM

I remember this photo like it was yesterday...Chris and I had just seen each other for the first time before the wedding....can you say TEARS?!?! Man, we look so young.

Larry, Eli, me and Lori (Lori was pregnant with Brody in this photo). Eli was 2 years old in this picture...can you belive it?
My bridesmades....Missy, Lori, me, Kim, Delanna, Amanda and Emalee (in front).

Trip to Papa & MeMe's cabin

We had a great time visiting with Chris' folks at their cabin in the mountains...Savannah had a great time and was such a good baby. Papa & Meme spoiled her rotten, of course! She was very entertaining...her adorable personalty has really started to come out. Her facial expressions crack me up. She is laughing out loud and talking up a storm. Does she have Daddy's eyes or WHAT? This photo is priceless! We were visiting a little town in the mountains when we took this photo...isn't it adorable?

Can you tell it was nap time? I had her bundled up the entire time we were in the mountains...her Florida blood wasn't use to the cold weather they had while we were visiting. The leaves were changing and it was absolutely gorgeous!

I took this photo during one of our hikes near the cabin.

Savannah was so bundled up, all she could move were her eyes...I think we all laughed at her for about 10 minutes..she just sat there and looked around, thinking "What in the world are they doing to me?"

She looks like a strawberry popsicle.

She was having a blast in the new bouncy seat that Meme got her...she would kick and squeal and then laugh out loud...that sweet belly laugh!

Raz taking a break during one of the hikes. He would run ahead of us, check things out and then run back to us with this look on his face like, "Are ya'll coming?"

Savannah was a lady bug for Halloween. As you can see, the costume was a bit to big for her..I'm pretty sure the antennas were suppose to point up, not down. Oh well...she's the cutest lady bug I've ever seen!

Aunt MaryAnn, Savannah and me. We met MaryAnn while we were in the mountains..this was the first time MaryAnn had met little miss priss. It was great to see MaryAnn and those of you that know Ann, yes, she sniffed Savannah! More photos from our hike
One of the many breaktaking views from the cabing

Savannah loved this toy that MeMe bought her while we were shopping one day....thanks Meme!

Pumpkin Patch

Our day at the local pumpkin patch was a blast! We met our friends Brian & Meredith and their kiddos, Maggie and Thomas Henry AKA Hank. Isn't this just the cutiest photo of Savy and her daddy! Can you say WRAPPED?!?

This is the face Chris and I wake up to every morning, can it get any better than that?!?!? Of course, when she wakes up she is smiling like crazy...the other morning at 7:00, Chris went in to her room to get her and she laughed at him....that's what I'm talking about A HAPPY BABY; and she is exactly that, HAPPY!
Ahhhh, how cute!

Well, the only way to get Savannah's photo in the pumpkin was to prop her up on some and snap a couple before she rolled off. So, we sat her on a pumpkin while she was asleep...thinking that she would stay still for the photo...as you can see, that didn't happen....she started stretching and eventually sunk between the pumpkins...it was too cute.

Savannah and Hank. Hank was very sweet, he put his hand on her knee. Too cute!

Two Month Doctor's appointment

This morning Chris and I took Savannah for her 2 month doc appointment. She was such an angel...we got to the doc office a little earlier (for us that means "on time"!) and fed her while we waited an HOUR for the nurse to call us back. In the meantime, Savannah entertained all of the ladies in the waiting room...she was laughing, smiling and cooing. She has certainly blossomed into such a social butterfly and she's only 2 months old...of course...as her mommy I think she's a genius! She weighed 9 lbs 13 ounces and was 22 inches long...she's a petite little thing! She is really starting to fill out...her little checks are getting big and they are rosy..it's so precious! And her little arms and thighs are JUICY...yep, I said JUICY...I just want to squeeze her, she so lovable! I didn't take my camera to the doc appointment, I figured the pics wouldn't be to good seeing that she was getting her 2 months shots. She did so good! She was smiling at the nurse, completely oblivious to what was about to happen to her....then out came the needles and OUCH! She had the most pitiful face...she stuck that bottom lip out and then came the scream, followed by the red face...I picked her up and gave her the paci and cuddled with her and she was fine. She's been doing okay today with the Tylenol every 4 hours...she's had a little fever, but nothing to terribly bad. You can tell that she isn't feeling like her old self...she will just sit there and every now and then she let out a little whimper. She's such a trooper! Chris and I did very well through the shots, it was much better than what I had anticipated.

Tomorrow we have a big day...we're going to the Pumpkin Patch with some friends of ours and their two cutie pies, Maggie & Thomas Henry. Then we are going to meet Aunt Margaret and SheShe to do a little shopping. It's been a while since Aunt Margaret has seen Savannah, she's been in New York and Washington D.C. with Emalee...can't wait to hear all about there trip. Chris is probably going to be working in the yards...we are STILL trying to get our backyard in order after Tropical Storm Fay!

My favorite photos of Savannah

Couldn't you just eat her up?

Nice little view up her nostrile...sorry, but I thought it was a funny photo
This photo CRACKS me up....who does she take after with this glare??? Check out those checks...she looks like a chipmunk!
