Branson

So in just a few hours Orson and I are on the way to Branson, MO. I am kidnapping him for some well deserved alone time. I think it will be a ton of fun. I went to Branson with my fam when I was younger and I can't wait to show Orson the town. Savannah is staying here in Austin with my sister-in-law while we are gone. Anyway I just wanted to let everyone know in case you were wondering where I disappear to next week. Love You!

6 Month Check-up

So today Savannah and I went to see Dr. Esparza. She did really well with her shots. I always make sure to have a bottle ready for her, and as soon as they are done with her shots she gets her bottle. So far, it has worked wonders. Anyway....here are her stats.
*16 pounds 10 ounces
*26 1/4 inches
*42 centimeter head circumference
The doctor said that she is moving right along. She grew a tons since the last visit....I think she put on something like 3 pounds and grew 2 inches. She went from being right up the middle to being in the 70-75 percentile for height and weight. So there really is a reason why I get tired carrying her all over the place.
Other than the stats here are some more cool skills.
*sitting up by herself
*crawling
*pulling up
*playing with her toes
*eating just about any jar food
*loves pickles, pasta and potatoes
*talk a bunch (no words though)
*reaches towards person when she wants them to hold (rescue) her
*chews on anything and EVERYTHING including my toes (eww!)
I think that is about all that I can think of right now. She is just tons of fun. She loves to laugh and smile. Whenever we go out people always comment on how much she smiles and how happy she is. When she gets really excited she pants like a little puppy dog. It's hilarious. I'll have to try and get it on video one of these days. Orson and I just like to sit and watch her explore the world. She is definitely a blessing in our lives.

More videos coming forward

LOL...I used to love listening to her with her pacifier...she was so loud. It reminds my of the baby on The Simpsons.

YEAH!!!! Videos Here We Come!!!

So, we just switced to a new AT&T service called u-verse...and in doing so, our internet speed was increased...which means now it looks like it will actually upload my videos! You are all in for it now. If I overwhelm you with tons of sweet Savannah videos...I apologize now.

Her little lunge is awesome...I almost miss it now that she has gotten the hand over hand thing down.

Crawling!

So, this weekend Savannah finally is figuring out that you have to move your hands when you crawl. She goes all over now. I wouldn't say that she is a pro by any means, but there is no stopping her now. I'll post pics and videos as soon as I can.

Note from DAD

So Orson wanted to let everyone know that she is smiling really well.
She sticks out her tongue, it's funny.

Doing new stuff

So, I figured that y'all have been inundated with lots of pictures of Savannah growing up, but lately, I haven't been so great on the actual details of what is going on. After her four month appointment we started her on cereal which she had no problem with. Shortly thereafter I started her on jar foods. So far she eats, applesauce, pears, bananas, green beans, sweet potatoes, squash, umm....I can't think of any others at this point. I also tried to give her apple juice, but she hasn't really figured that out yet. I have no clue why. She moves around tons of her tummy and las t week or so, she has even started to get up on all fours. She is so cute, she gets up so good and then doesn't know where to go from there, so she just rocks and fusses. She is so determined though! Although to be honest, I think she would much prefer to just up and walk. She loves it when we hold her hands and she can stand. Umm, other than that she is just being a regular old baby. I think she is getting close to teething but I haven't seen any real signs yet. So there you go. An official post on how she is developing.
