Happy 6th month birthday to Savanna!!

Wow-it is amazing I am posting twice in one week! I know many of you have probably stopped checking my blog because I update so infrequently but don't give up on me yet-I am getting better! Anyway, today is a very special day today. Savanna is 6 months old today! I can't believe that it has been 6 months since she came into our lives! In some ways it seems like just yesterday and in other ways it seems like she has been here for forever! We can't believe that in another 6 months she will be a year! That is absolutely crazy! Savanna is a such a joy in our lives and it is amazing how much she has grown and changed over these past months. She now has mastered sitting up on her own and is constantly rolling over. Occasionally, we get some giggles out of her but still not too often! She loves exploring now and is constantly reaching for everything in sight. Her favorite things still include reading books, going on walks, and dancing and eating-how could I forget eating? Did I mention she is now 22 pounds? I know-huge!! She is now eating solid foods-we started her on rice cereal but she now has also eaten sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, and bananas. She absolutely loves bananas! The first few times we fed her she didn't quite seem to know what to think but now she opens up her mouth way in advance and looks around excitedly for her food! It is very cute. She also appears to be teething and is biting everything in sight. Savanna had a fun filled "birthday" weekend. It started on Friday night where we played games at a ward activity. On Saturday we went up and visited some friends in Salt Lake. We went hiking and also swimming in their pool. Savanna didn't like swimming in the pool too much. We think it was because the water was so cold because she always loves her bath or swimming in our big bath tub! Savanna pretty much crashed on the way home from Salt Lake. Today she had her first bath in her "duck" tub since she can sit up now. She wore a pretty new orange dress to church and the day will be finished up here in a little bit with her being able to talk to her Aunt Kristin, Uncle John and her cousins, Lexi and Kaytlin, on the web cam! We hope you enjoy all the pics Oh also we decided that it was time to get Savanna some new "stuff" for her six month birthday. Last night we ordered her the following things online-a block set, a set of soft balls, a star stacker, a jumperoo, a play telephone (she loves our cell phones!), an activity triangle, and a vibrating teether. I know she is very spoiled!
