BUSTED Savannah!!!!

So I keep this basket full of diapers, wipies, lotion, vaseline and other stuff in Savannah's crib ever since she was born. The reason is because I didn't get a changing table, so I decided to use her crib to changer her diaper (I do put something under her just in case) and its been working great, until today. She was taking her nap and I went in to check on her and what do I find, my little angel had got into the basket. I guess I need to take the basket out when she naps, I already do it at night time.

Who can get mad at that face...So precious and innocent

TRUNK O TREAT

FUN AT THE TRUNK O TREAT

My Little Pumpkin

I was trying to take a picture of my 3 pumpkins, but I had no luck

Happy Family

My dogs are the best dogs ever...They behaved so well...All the kids were petting them and they never snapped at them...I love my doggies

She had a long night...Actually not really, it was only 7:39pm...But she goes to bed a 7pm so for her it was a long night...She can fall asleep on anybodies arms

HaLlOwEeN pArTy

We went to a Halloween party at the McMullin's home...It was so much fun...Everyone that went dressed up, which was really cool because there's always people who think they are too cool to wear costumes...There was so much yummy food, and great music...I really had a blast, I so needed that.

Testing My Photography Skills

We have a Canon Powershot A590 that I bought for Owen as a Christmas gift 2 years ago. I am not great at taking pictures, so I decided that I wanted to get a little better at it. I got the manual out and started reading through it, there is so much stuff. Anyways, I took some pictures of Savannah. Actually I took 13, but only posted 5 the rest are in Facebook. She is 3 days short to turning 6 months in these pictures. I can't believe how fast time has gone. She is such a happy baby. See for yourself....

Owen Being Silly

I secretly was recording Owen while he was changing Savannah's diaper.

Look How Much My Angel Has Grown

On October 14th Savannah was so exhausted that she couldn't fall asleep. So Owen had the great idea to put her in her swing until she fell asleep than we would transfer her over to her crib. It worked like magic

I had not used the swing in over 2 months because she loves to move around a lot, but seeing her in her swing made me realize how much she has grown.

1 month old, 5-18-10

2 month old, 6-18-10

Almost 6 month old, 10-15-10
Look how the top of her head touches the top of the swing :(

Pumpkin Patch

Savannah's first pumpkin patch and she slept through most of it. Right when we were about to leave she woke up and we were able to take a few, and I mean a few pictures. But I guess it doesn't matter because she won't remember this day, it was more for me.

Starting to Eat Solids

Savannah started eating solids on Sept 23 2010, she was 5 months and 5 days old. I actually tried giving her baby cereal before when she was about 4 months and half, but she did not like it and I also felt she wasn't ready. The only reason I tried was because people were telling me that I should start giving her cereal. One thing I learned is to follow my motherly instinct. I knew she was not ready for cereal.

I tried again at 5 months, but this time I felt that she was ready. She always looked at me with interested when I ate. She had cereal with apple mixed with breast milk and she loved every single bit of it. I know they say that you shouldn't give babies fruit before vegetables, but I figured because she is a breastfed baby she is used to different taste, some what. And I was right. She eats apples, bananas, pears, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots and loves it all. Once again following my motherly instinct.

These next two pictures are at 5 months, great success.

This is a week later. She loves her food

This video is when she ate cereal at 4 months, with no success.

Her First Two Teeth

Don't know if you can tell, but Savannah got her two bottom front teeth at 4 month. I couldn't believe it because I always heard of babies getting their first teeth at around 6-8 months or even later. Maybe she got it so early because I drank so much milk when I was pregnant, about 2 -3 cups a day. Just a theory

FINALLY...A Picture with Mommy

It's been 4 months and I finally have a good picture with my daughter...The only pictures I have with her are me in my pajamas looking a total mess and extremely tired.

These pictures were taken at a baby
shower

She looks so funny...It looks like she is pushing a poop out

Savannah's New Toy

I wanted to get a bouncer for Savannah because she loves being bounced on our knees. So I went online to Babies R Us and found this cute jumperoo for $120...Went to Amazon and it was $80. I thought it was to much money for a toy she is only going to play with for a few months. Instead, I went to craigslist.org - a website where people sell their stuff- and found the same jumperoo for $25. The person selling it lives in Beaumont, which is 40 minutes away from me, so I told my sister to go pick it up because she lives just around the corner from the lady selling the toy.

The jumperoo looks brand new, it has all the toys and all I had to do was wash the seat cover and voila a new toy.

Savannah enjoying her toy

She loves this toy...At first she could only be in it for about 5 minutes before she start crying...Now she can last up to 10-15 minutes

Daddy Turns 33

The day before Owen's birthday we went to Elephant Bar and celebrate his birthday there. Honestly, I just didn't feel like cooking and this was a great excuse to go out and eat. I had the Mongolian Beef and Owen had...You know what I don't remember what Owen order...We were able to take our time eating our food, but when dessert came we had to hurry up because Savannah got extremely fussing...It was past her bed time and she is not a happy camper when she is tired...







On Owen's birthday we celebrated at home with some friends and their kid...I made hamburgers and Brenda brought potato salad...We had ice cream cake and opened gifts...It as very laid back, maybe next year I will invite more people...I was going to invite his parents but they were in Oregon and my family had plans also.

This is the gift I gave Owen...It's a mouse pad with a picture of Savannah...Owen is not big on putting picture frames at work, so I figured this will be perfect for him

Owen making his faces


We adopted a child...Just kidding...He is Brenda's kid, but it was so funny how he got in the picture...He was sitting on his chair, but as soon as his mom took the picture he jumped up and got in the picture...I thought it was so funny


Savannah loves taking pictures with her arms up...This is the second one, the first one was her blessing pictures


Once again, Owen and his faces

Pioneer Day at Church

On July 17th was Pioneer Day at our Church

Aquarium of the Pacific

This was our first family outing...It was a last minute thing...I was at the gym and I decided that I wanted to go to the Aquarium of the Pacific...I have been wanting to go there for over a year, but we just never got around to going.

Savannah was great...She never cried...I had her in the carrier the whole time and she was very alert, looking at all the different sea animals...Towards the end I saw her yawn and decided to put her in her stroller, she knocked out and was sound asleep.

Since she was teething, the front of the carrier was soaked with her saliva, pretty gross.
