12 months old!

How?! How is it possible our itty bitty precious princess is ONE?! The month leading up to her birthday flew by! She continuously changes and grows so fast. This month she started walking!!!! It is assisted with her learning farm, but she's doing it!!! and she's not shy about it! She's started saying a few more words. She says Momma, Dada, Hi, Bye, and Dog! She still waves and gives kisses, dances ALL the time, and eats so well. She is such a happy little girl and has made this past year the best year of my life. She's a handful for sure! She is the hardest, most challenging, most wonderful, precious thing ever. 

We love you baby girl! 

We made a BIG change in our family right at the beginning of the month! We made the big decision to sell the Mustang and buy a new car! I kept joking that it was for my birthday. haha :D. We took Savvy for one last spin in the convertible before we traded Charlie Brown in. He was a great car and he will be missed! 

 Meet Franklin! We bought a 2015 Hybrid Honda Accord! We decided to go with an upgraded version and are so glad we did. It has some bells and whistles we've never had in another car! Of course on the way home, a rock hit the windshield. The curse continues..lol 

We celebrated my birthday! I had an AMAZING birthday. John and Savannah really spoiled me rotten. To top it all off, Savannah started walking with her walker! I have a great video, but it's too big to upload :( I need to remember to take shorter videos! If you want to see it, let me know. I also forgot to take any birthday pictures. lol. It was an amazing birthday though :D

 We practiced a few more selfies this month!

 They brought a fire truck to daycare for the kids to explore! The waddlers got to ride the bye bye buggy to see it! 

 We celebrated Oktoberfest at the Kinlaws! It was a lot of fun! Savannah got some love from her Uncle Bryan!

 The kids got a bath together and then got to explore a little before bed!

 It's adorable to me that they are both standing now. They are the cutest little people!

 Jim and Jane helped me celebrate my birthday too! We met at the park and had lunch and cake. Savannah ate a whole piece and then stole grandmas!!! It was really cute :D  

 This girl LOVES to swing. She just might have gotten a swing set for her birthday!

 We got Savannah to like bath time again!!! We added the no slip mat and the whale faucet cover and it seems to have done wonders!!

 This is just the cutest outfit ever. 

 Knocked. Out.

 We finally got to take her to the corn maze! I wanted to go for my birthday, but it didnt work out. So we got the Klingenmaiers to go with us later in the month! Of course Savannah found the swings. haha. We also saw all kinds of animals and then got to spend time going through the maze. It was SO. MUCH. FUN. We would definitely go again!! (maybe not with the babies though;D)

 Smiles with daddy!

 She got to see some goats!

 and a Donkey!

 And we did our best to have the babies take a picture together. haha

Afterwards we went back to our place. Savannah LOVED the "baby." and gave him lots of kisses. lol

 Savannah celebrated her first Halloween! Of COURSE she was a ladybug!

Her whole class! We LOVE her teachers and friends!

She helped us hand out candy before we put her to bed!

 We celebrated her first birthday a day early! There will be another post on this! :D

 The last picture before she turned 1. The last picture of me and my baby. The next morning she would a toddler. It's amazing how fast time flies. She might be a toddler, but she'll always be my baby. We love you Savannah!!!

11 Months

Our sweet girl is 11 months old!! My last monthly post before she turns 1! I can’t even believe it!! I swear this year has flown by! This month was another busy month for us! Savannah learned to clap and does it all the time! She waves hi and goodbye. She LOVES waving. She waves at everything! She also learned how to give kisses (SO precious!) and has said bye-bye a few times! She’s crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything, and is walking with her push walker! Baby girl is on the MOVE and isn’t slowing down any time soon. She still loves to dance, play peek-a-boo, and EAT! She doesn’t care for baths still and has definitely been testing her limits with us. Such a little personality in this one! We love her to the moon and back and I seriously cannot imagine my world without her. This month was also full of so much fun!

We went to pick this sweet girl up from daycare one day and she was sitting at the end of the room, at the table by herself, eating goldfish. She looked like a The Don. LOL

Daycare is nice enough to put t-shirts over the kids clothes when they eat spaghetti. lol. She is the best eater they have! They always tell us that she eats everything. She's very meticulous in eating and takes her time, but eats it all. lol. She's definitely a Martin!

We went to the Moore's for lunch one day! Savannah crawled all over their living room. It was so great to finally get to introduce Savannah to some of our favorite people! Of course I didnt get a picture of all of them :(  But here she is playing in their living room :D

We had our first trip to Chick-fil-a! She ate all of her grilled chicken tenders and applesauce! We stopped before trying out our first consignment sale. It was okay. lol

She was a weeee bit too young for the toddler area in the play place, but it was fun to show it to her! 

She's gotten great at sitting up in her crib! and I'm pretty sure I took this because these pjs are my favorite! My little panda!

We practiced LOTS of standing and pulling up on things!

She started standing up in her crib!!!! 

And trying to drink coffee like Mommy :D

We took a few short rides in the mustang with her. She loves her daddy! Look at the face she's giving him!

Aunt Britt and Uncle Chris came to visit! 

 Savannah got to ride in Masons new wagon! She LOVED it. She pretty much acts like it's hers now whenever she sees it. She acted like it was her chariot. haha 

 They are SO stinking cute together. I'm glad they are best friends :D

 Mason came over to play one day and decided to help teach Savannah how to walk. lol. He pushed her around in her walker. lol

 

and together, they destroyed the living room. 

They are gunna be so much trouble as they get older!!

10 Months!

Savannah is 10 months old! She is getting to be such a big girl! 😊At the beginning of the month she moved classrooms at school! She's now in the waddlers classroom since she's crawling everywhere and she is doing great in there! She's even napping better now! Savannah's been practicing pulling herself up and can stand holding onto something so well. She's attempted a few steps holding on, but isn't in a rush. The biggest thing this month is she says Mama and Dada! Dada was first, but Mama was close behind! She seems to know who we are when she says them too! Hearing her say those words melts my heart! ❤️Savannah still loves to dance, chase her puppy around the house, dance and hum while eating, and yell! And LOVES her mama these days! She doesn't like bath time much anymore or being told no. Cue the water works when the word no is used! She's got so much personality and we can tell she's definitely testing her limits with things! It's SO incredible to watch her learn! 

One of her first days in her new class! She had a new little boyfriend instantly. lol

We went to church with Aunt Britt and Uncle Chris too! Then went to brunch and their place to swim! We had such a great time with them.

She loves her aunt and uncle!

Savannah and I celebrated our "In and Out" Day!! This picture was from the day she was outside of me for the same amount of time she was inside. Bittersweet!

We celebrated Mason's 1st birthday! Of course I didnt get ANY pictures :( I think Krystal has some that I need to get :D Savannah was a diva for the day. LOL

This is the face she makes when she's told she ate all of her food and has to wait a minute for me to get her more. lol

 Such a big girl!

 Hurricane Savannah in our living room! She LOVES to throw all of the toys out of the basket. LOL

 She tried her first pizza! Of course it was Mellow Mushroom! 

 And we had to baby proof the house finally. Silly girl can get anywhere these days!

 We FINALLY made it down to the farm to meet Jane's side of the family! We had such a blast at lunch and then on the farm!

 Playing with baby Charlotte! They were so cute together!

 We stopped by Grandmas on the way home :D 

 And of course cousin Bobby had to come by! He ADORES Savannah!

 And to end the month, we took a big vacation as a family! My Aunt Rhonda and Uncle Marcus were so gracious to let us use their cabin in Pigeon Forge! It was such a long drive that we stopped in Asheville on the way there and back to break up the ride for Savannah. It was SO much fun!

On our way to Asheville we stopped at Mountain Burrito- OMG. SO GOOD. Savannah got her first kids meal! Such a big girl!

Hanging out in Asheville with our squishy!!

The next morning we stopped at Tupelo Honey on our way to Tennessee. AMAZING.

  We made it!

It was GORGEOUS! The view from one of the patios!

 Sweet girl loved the recliners. LOL

We went shopping and stocked up for the week!

 

Savannah loved the house too! 

 Swinging with dada on the porch!

 We went to Gaitlinburg for the day one day and explored. We had never been to Dicks and stopped in. HILARIOUS. 

 She left her hat on for a LONG time. and got to play with balloons! They were actually very nice to us there!

We went into the Smokey Mountains on our way out, but it was TOO COLD to do any hiking. John was also not feeling great, so we headed on to Asheville for the night :D

We made it home just in time for State football! GO PACK!

She's the cutest kid in the whole world. 

We had a BIG, FUN, week. It was nice to be home though! Lesson learned: Vacations are no longer vacations. They are trips. lol. Still lots of fun, just very different than before! haha
