Shoes!

Savannah loves shoes! She loves to take them off and she tries really hard to put them on! On this day she thought somebody needed to put them on! She tried, then threw them to me, then scarlet walked by and she needed some shoes!

Witchy

Savannah's first witch!

One more

Laughing herself silly!

Fun trip

Having a little fun on the way home from Bebe's birthday party! Savannah didn't want the fun to end!!

Fountain fun!!

I finally took Savannah to play in the fountains at the outdoor mall. I was worried it might scare her but she loved it! She especially loved watching all the bigger kids running around! It might become a regular thing. In the evening they have bands that come and set up and lots of street performers entertaining the crowds. During the daytime they just have a radio playing. Savannah started dancing in the fountains but by the time I got the video out on my new phone she'd stopped!!

Also, Savannah said to tell Nana, "Happy Birthday!!!"

More music baby

She just couldn't put it down!

Music baby

The first time Savannah ever played the flute. She was rockin!! (I figured out how to post videos with my iPhone!! This is going to make posting so much easier!!)

Riding Fun!!

Much to Momma's disapproval, Savannah got to ride on a baby 4-wheeler at a friend's house and she's a natural!! This was her first ride, she did even better on her 2nd ride at another friend's house! Daddy was loving it! I think she'll have her own by the end of the week!

"See you guys later!"

Sliding Fun!

Savannah has grown up so much lately! She loves to play games with you!! Peek-a-boo, patty cake, chase, telephone, and sliding are some of her absolute favorites! This is a video of her going down her baby slide we got her for her birthday. She's so good at it now that we've started taking her down the big slide in the back yard. I'll try to get a video up of that soon. We do dress her, most of the time, but in this video she's rockin' the diaper. We'd just gotten up for the day and she escaped while I was dressing her. Ran to the back door and we just couldn't resist a few slides before we went inside to get dressed!

Cake Smash!!

On Saturday Savannah got to dig into another birthday cake! My friend, Beth, let us come to her house and use her white seamless backdrop to take a TON of pics of Savannah for her cake smash session! Together, we have over 1200 pics!! So, it might take a while to get through all of them! But so far this is one of my favorites and I wanted to share it!

The first first of the weekend!

We stopped at Lambert's on the way to the beach. It's always been a favorite of ours and we thought we'd share it with Savannah! She LOVED it! There's so much action that Savannah just couldn't take the time out to look at what she was eating! She ate her entire grilled cheese sandwich turned around looking at the dining room and all the people. I think she could have stayed there forever!

Here comes trouble...

... in a really cute package!!

I've had lots of requests for this video! You'll have to tilt your head to the side. Sorry, I didn't realize I didn't know how to fix it when I was videoing it! I have lots of beach pics to post, but had to share this while I had time!

One year ago today...

... was the happiest day of our lives!

Happy Birthday, Savannah!!

(Turn speakers up and hit play! You have to make it to the last song... best song ever!)

Happy Monday!

Two of my favorites from the neighborhood birthday party Friday night!

Happy Father's Day!!

We love you!!

(Make sure your sound is up and hit play!)

Yes, she is....

... the prettiest baby in the whole wide world!!

Summer Fun

It's been a while since my last post. We've been having all sorts of fun! Savannah is so close to walking now! She's started letting go of things and trying to take a step or two. We've seen her take up to 2 steps but hasn't just taken off yet! It's so close!!

She now says Momma, Daddy, dog, cat, drink, book, and lots of other stuff that we're not smart enough to figure out yet.

Last weekend we went to visit Boss and Bebe and they had 2 litters of labs! Savannah was on puppy overload! She had so much fun with all the "dawgs" (her favorite word). More pics to come later.
Savannah has decided that she's going to be a picky eater. She used to would eat anything she could get in her mouth (ANYTHING!) but now she's a little particular! Although, she does change her mind when she gets hungry enough!!

Just playing around the house!

Shane called on his way home from work one day and told us to go outside and look up in the sky! This was what we saw!

Savannah was at a playdate in this pic. We try to go to playdates at least twice a week. Some weeks we go every day!

G'Day Mate!

After the boys' graduation we went to the lakehouse for the weekend. We were worried the weather would keep us off the water but it turned out to be a perfect boating day on Sunday!! The neighbor had a Savannah sized life jacket so we coated her up with sunblock and headed out to the water. Savannah loved it!! We stayed on the lake for a good 3 hours.

So relaxed.

They did it!!

My little twins are all grown up!! And their not so little anymore!! This past weekend we went to their high school graduation. Hard to believe I was giving them baths 16 years ago!!

A very happy Groover family!

Kyle

Pool time!! Well, almost!!

We finally got to fill up the little baby pool that we bought Savannah. She put on her bathing suit but the water was too cold for her to get in. But she was still too cute!

She still loves to swing!! She giggles every time she swings forward!

As long as she's sitting in the swing she's content to just chill!

Look at this picture and not smile... go ahead, try it... you just can't do it!!

10 minute!

We had such a fun Saturday! We went to the Space Museum for the high school robotics demonstration. We ended up staying for several hours and Savannah loved it!!

Savannah learned a lot about space and food on Saturday!! For lunch she had her first hamburger! After that she decided the whole baby food thing was a rip-off, so she ordered Chinese take-out for everyone when we got home.

Mmmm good!!

Spring!! Finally!

This little guy fell out of his nest while we were at Nana's and Papa's. We watched him all day. I was hoping we could watch him learn to fly but he just hopped around in the front yard all day. I was getting worried about him but then Savannah explained that Mama and Daddy bird will keep feeding the baby until he learns to fly - and that can take up to 21 days!!

I was worried that Savannah might not remember what actual sunshine felt like, but the rain FINALLY stopped!! We've been loving the weather lately!!

Normally Savannah puts everything straight in her mouth. But give her a leaf or a piece of paper, and she'll look at it really hard for a while, and then tear it in the smallest little pieces she can!

Notice the upside down paci! It's a game for her!

You CAN have fun with the vacuum!!

Savannah loves the vacuum! When it comes out, she just chases it around the room. She loves the sucker wand the most! I thought she'd be scared of it, but no... she LOVES it! She sticks her fingers and paci in it and then tries to suck on it, but it sucks back!! We played this game for a long time today! Thought I'd share some it with you!

Picture time!!

Well, I'm going on the 8th hour of sitting in the waiting room where Dad is having his surgery. All updates have been good so far and we are expecting him to be done in the next few hours. Since I had some time to spare, and Dad's laptop, I decided to give everyone a much needed update on Savannah!

She's been a very busy girl lately. She is all over the place and getting into anything and everything she can find! She is pulling up on tables and is just starting to walk around while she's holding on to things. She'll take some very wobbly steps if we hold her hands!! She can wave bye bye, give kisses, and throw or roll a ball back and forth with you. She's just growing up way too fast!

We went back for our annual golf tournament in MS to visit some of our best friends!! We had such a good time, even though Shane was pretty sick the whole time. Looking back on it, I think he had the piggy virus!!

Here's Savannah waiting on her gyro at Keifer's, YUMMY!!!


Luke and Savannah... doesn't he look like a natural!!!

Joy and Savannah... look out Luke, you're next!! Somehow I missed getting pics of Steve and Lucinda with the baby. Well, I got one of Steve but he was corrupting Savannah by putting an Ole Miss hat on her... this is a family blog so I won't display such vulgarity!

Chowing down!

Savannah loves to get in the pantry! If we accidentally leave the door open she's going to get in there and pull everything down! If she's lucky, she'll get something open and we'll find her eating cereal off the floor!!


Shane and Savannah by the Reservoir.

Every baby needs to go to Cock of the Walk!! MMMM!!!


Luke and Joy.

The group at Keifer's.

Savannah had 2 birthday parties to go to on Sunday... I got her all dressed up and ready, went upstairs to get myself ready, came back down and found this...


A few weeks ago Savannah and I went and stayed with Lauren while Shane went to Telladega with Randy and Kyle. Lauren wouldn't let me take her picture and I think it rubbed off on Savannah. This is her "Why are you taking my picture again" face.


Her "I'm coming to take the camera away" face.

And her "No really, I said no more pictures today" face.

Playing with Mommy in the floor.
