Look Who's One!!!

Savannah turned a "BIG 1" on Wednesday, May 23.  We celebrated with a family party for her on Sunday, May 20.  Here are some pictures of the fun:

She stayed MUCH cleaner than we expected.

Happy Birthday Savannah!

It has been a GREAT year and she is SO fun, with SO much personality!!!

Newbies of Savannah

Here are a few updated pictures of Savanah from Tiffany's baby shower last weekend!

Savannah LOVES other babies and kids.  She will just maul them with hugs and kisses.  It is SO funny!!!  Here are a couple pictures of her with Abby's nephew, Ledger.

 He can't figure out what she was doing and she can't figur out what is wrong!!!

 He's still upset and she is sticking her tongue out...it was quite a hoot to watch.  He did get over it quickly!!!

 We always thought we were going to have to monitor Graycee with Savannah, but it is just the opposite. Savannah can't get enough of Graycee and is all over her...even when Graycee has had enough!!!

 She is also a big fan of Fluff, the dog. 

Savannah and Grandpa taking a nap!  Too cute!!!

Chilling in the middle of everything in Dad's hat

Looking like a little person sitting in the Bumbo Chair next to Tim

She will NOT drink out of a bottle, but loves your cup or her sippy  cup

She fell asleep on the job...with food still on her face!

Kissing on Mom

Christmas Day...

Her first Christmas dress

She has learned to blow bubbles and spit...it is SO funny, but such hard work!

Queen at sticking her tongue out...especially the moment she sees Grandpa Keesler

Savannah's Blessing

We blessed Savannah on Sunday, November 6.  Everything went well.  Savannah really only likes to be held one way...facing out with your arm around her tummy, so... we wondered how long she would last before fussing.  Part way through the blessing, she began to fuss, but quickly stopped and everyone wondered how they managed that.  Well, Grandpa Keesler stuck his finger in her mouth...and she was happy for the rest of the blessing!!!  

Those participating in the blessing:

Grandpa Lake, Grandpa Keesler, Kevin Hanson, Wesley Keesler, Timothy Keesler, Daniel Keesler, Kris Klingensmith, Scott Klingensmith, and (Charles Allen).

Those attending the blessing:

Grandpa & Grandma Lake, Grandpa & Grandma Keesler, Kevin & Tiffany Hanson, Wesley & Abby Keesler, Tim Keesler, Daniel & Ariel Keesler, Clarissa & Graycee Keesler, Mac Boyer, Kris & Karla Klingensmith, Scott & Kieli Klingensmith, Rusty, Roberta, & Drea Johnson, Charles, Crystal, & Karlie Allen.

After the blessing, we enjoyed lunch and visiting with one another.  

We also celebrated Cody's birthday before everyone left!

Savannah's Blessing Dress Pictures

Savannah's blessing isn't until next week, November 6, but we decided to take some of the stress off by taking some pictures of her in her dress before.  Now we can enjoy the day and just take some candid pictures of the event!

Savannah - about 4.5 months

Tiffany took pictures of Savannah the other day...

She was very interested in the camera!

Also, curious about the tutu...

...and tasting it!
