Savannah's First Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving 2008, we flew to Oklahoma City to visit Brad's Family and to introduce our "Little Britches" to the Marlow Clan. Savannah's first flight was quite the experience, but it was overall tolerable thanks to Daddy Brad who lovingly changed Savannah's dirty "dipes" on the poorly equiped Southwest airplane. Note to Southwest...ya need changing stations! But we survived thank the Lord! Thank you also to all the men (no women) who chose to sit next to us and our baby...there are nice, understanding men out there after all! :)

It was nice to see Mom and Dad Marlow again and show them how big Savannah has grown in the 3 months since they had seen her. The house was already beautifully decorated for Christmas and we had a great time.

Savannah and Marlow (one month apart in age)

Looking cute in her pink hat and sleepy clothes :)

Savannah's new thing is to suck on her bottom lip...at least it's not her thumb...yet :)

Little Savannah...Big Couch!

Whoops...must practice the sitting up thing!

"See! I can sit up!"

She loves sleeping on Daddy! Of course she's the most comfortable when it looks uncomfortable!

Sooners!

Sooner Fan starting out at almost 4 months!

Grandma's first rocking chair!

Loving the Bjorn!

Church in Oklahoma City

We had a lovely church service in Oklahoma City. It was nice to see old friends and meet new ones!

Growing into my swing!

We love watching our Savannah grow! See how much she's grown into her swing :)

Here is August...
Here she is now in November...3 months later...

Happy 3 month birthday Savannah!

Wow! Another month has gone by and now Savannah is 3 months old! Just in the past week or so Savannah has been able to hold her head up on her own and interact more. Savannah cries less and is less fussy. She's able to sooth herself better and sleeps really well to her parent's delight :) If we can only knock out that one nightly feeding .... :) We've gotten a new BOB stroller so now she goes out on her daily walk around the golf course to get some fresh air. We time her walk so it coincides with her morning nap that way her cries don't echo around Hiddenbrooke! :) We can't believe 3 months has already come and gone!

Here she is with her family. With Daddy and Mommy...

Daddy's Girl!

When do I learn to blow out candles?!

With Lolo...

A New Thing...

Here is Savannah's new thing...how many fingers can she fit in her mouth at once! :) One fist? Two fists?

All Smiles

Here is Savannah waiting for Daddy to get home from work...she had a good day and she's all smiles!

Cute Smile - 13 weeks

Here is a smile that would brighten any day!

She Can Hold Her Head Up!!!

12 weeks...she can hold her head up on her own! Baby steps right?! Now she can face out in her Baby Bjorn, she can sit on Mamma's lap facing out...the world has just become a step bigger for Savannah :) We can't get over how much she grows everyday! With her buddha belly, she's already moved on to her 3-6 month clothes easily! Here she is sporting an outfit auntie Casey Leach gave her! She looks great in purple!
Here's Savannah before heading out to see VegeTales at church.

I can sit being supported by the chair!

Hi Daddy!

Post Bath Fun!

One of our favorite things about bath-time is seeing Savannah's curls come out. We can't get over it! It's dark like mom's but curly like dad's! It's fun to puff it out and see how curly it can get :) No matter how fussy she gets...when bath-time comes around...Savannah loves her time in the water! It's strange...you can get water in her eyes, jostle her around in the tub to get her clean, move all her chubby folds to scrub her down...and she doesn't mind a bit...but change her clothes...it's like pulling teeth! Oh Savannah :)

Here is Savannah post traumatic cry session after changing into her night outfit! :) Love her hair!!!

Yikes Mom!!

Daddy's Girl

We're having a much easier time getting Savannah to sleep now! She's so at peace with Daddy that all he has to do is hold her around her bedtime and she starts to get drowsy. She's a lot more interactive now and likes to sit facing the world to see what is going on. Of course she loves watching football games with her parents :)

Here is Savannah with Daddy :) Daddy pretending to be asleep...although he probably wishes he was asleep also :)

She's asleep with football on!
