Savana's First Birthday

My little baby girl Savana turned ONE on October 25th! Where did the time go? It has been a wonderful year with her in our life. We are so blessed to have her. She has truly been an angel for us!











There are so many things I can write about her, but here are just a few...dozen!

-She weighs 17.14 lbs, and is 28 inches tall
-She Still has blue eyes (and the longest lashes ever!), but very little hair on her head
-She's been walking since 10 months old and is climbing everything now
-She has 4 teeth, 2 central incisors on bottom and 2 canines on top (a little scary)!
-She sleeps 12 hours every night and naps good once a day
-She says "hi, mom, dad, & book," and babbles all day long
-She loves to wave at everyone
-She LOVES, loves ,loves food! She eats all day long and everything! I am so happy for that!
-She loves to be tickled and chased and can't stop laughing in the process
-She loves the park, especially the swings
-She does not like to sit still, especially when changing her diaper
-She is in love with her daddy. If he is in the room, she is always with him

Ok now for THE PARTY!

I made her cute little monkey cakes!













Big Sister Baylee helped to blow out her candle!

We don't know if she had more fun eating the cake or playing with it!

Savana had fun opening and playing with her presents too! Of course she had a lot of help from her big sis and friends!

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful gifts and for those who came to party with us!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SAVANA, we love you so much!!! Mom, Dad, Baylee, & ?

We are so grateful for the wonderful time that we had together!
