16 months!

savanna turned 16 months today! i can't believe it's gone by sooooo fast! i can't believe that carter was this age when we got pregs w/ savvy. not dropping any hints :)! the last time i did any real updates was 4 mo ago! so here's a little bit about our sweet little biscuit! she is so fun i can hardly handle it. she makes having a girl a total blast :)! she is such a girl. one minute she can throw the biggest temper tantrum and the next she can be the sweetest little girl. i love to see how much she adores carter too, but at the same time she totally knows how to get under his skin. funny girl. she may not say many words, but i'm realizing more and more how much she really understands! we feel so blessed to have this sweet little girl in our home. we love you savanna rae!

-no more bottles
-says mama, dadda, that, uh-o
-cocks her head to the side as if to say "i didn't do it, i'm too cute"!
-transitioning from 2 to 1 naps
-is recognizing body parts and pointing to them
-loves to see the horses and cows by our house
-love love loves dogs
-after working out at the gym and i go to pick the kids up, she comes running over to me like she can't run fast enough! i love it!
one day we'll have her stats!
her tantrums seriously crack me up :)!

she is usually always walking around the house w/ her baby, baby blanket (or rag), and milk!

she saw me w/ the camera and was doing this funny face! too cute!

we got her a baby stroller for her bday 4 mo ago and finally put it together tonight! she loves it or at least till she hits a wall!

love this baby girl!

So adorable! she is really growing up. wow. She looks so old in that last picture. I'm always amazed at how much they understand and can communicate with you without saying a single word.
Tooooo cute little Savvy. Love her smile and squinty eyes in that one pic!

She's got personality PLUS! Rachael, you were a bit more like Carter in personality as a child, but Savvy has alot of you today. Self assured and having fun in whatever she is doing. They are growing up sooo fast. Girls are great! oxoxoxoxo

Brennan Bates, How in the heck are you? Your family is darling! I found your blog on Rebecca Dulgarians. She is in my parents ward and Trav and I are living with them while we find a new home. What a small world!! It sounds like you are all doing fantastic. It's been fun to read up on how you are doing. What a cute family you have.
