I am getting so excited about Friday. It's going to be my first Halloween and also mom's birthday. I am going to dress up as a skeleton because the pumpkin one is huge on me. I will definitely save that for next year. That way I will be a little bit bigger. I hope all of you enjoyed the pictures that I have sent your way. I know I look so cute. Here lately, I have been a total butt. My gums have been giving me troubles and I keep getting mom and dad up in the middle of the night. I chew chew chew. I have actually tried some new baby foods. I have tried peas, green beans, winter squash, pears, and bananas. The only one that I didn't like was the bananas. I will try those later. I don't spit up as much anymore. So that means, I am not ruining any of my clothes all day long. Tonight, me and dad went a harvest fest at the church. I had so much fun watching other rugrats play games and run around like maniacs.

Man, I don't know what dad was thinking. It's 10:00 pm and we just got back from jogging around the block. I kept talking to him the whole time telling him how tired I was but he just kept going. We are getting ready for some 5k obstacle race in Seattle. We are looking forward to that though because we will be going with some friends and after the race, there will be a big luau. The last few days have been really good. My uncle Drew just joined the army. I am very proud of him. I am a little concerned right now because I just found out that there is chicken pox going around at the daycare. I just hope I don't get them but if I get them, it's better now than when I get a little older. I am also a little sad because my friends Silas and Selah are leaving. They are moving to Washington next month. But at the same time, I am excited because it's what God wants for them. I am tired and sleepy so I am going to bed. Love ya and night night. ***SAVANNAH***

I am growing up to be the most prettiest girl in the world. On Saturday, mom and dad finally let me have some real baby food. I had some sweet potatoes. That is so good. Now I feel like a big girl. I still have a little chest congestion. I am getting tired of it because it has been going on for a month now. Mom and dad took me to urgent care to see if there was something else wrong with me and the doctors tested me for RSV. That meant that this big tall lady had to suck some snot out of my nose into this container. Thank goodness that I didn't have it though. So, they prescribed me a steroid to get rid of some of the mucus. After we're done with that, we are going to see if this mucus goes away and stays away. Today, mommy has to go to work. I do miss hanging out with her. But I do enjoy my daycare. The people there are really nice. I am getting excited about Halloween. I am not sure which costume I am going to wear. Grammy & Pop got me a skeleton with a little Boo hat to go with it. Grandma & Grandpa got me a pumpkin outfit with a little pumpkin basket to hold all of my candy. I think we are going to Cannon Beach because I heard that all of the stores downtown will be open and they will be giving away candy. I know that I am too young to eat the candy but mom will definitely be in heaven. I just wanted to give you guys an update on how I was doing. I miss all of you. Love you lots. ***SAVANNAH***

Hello Hello!!! I miss all of you. For the past couple of days, he has just been me and mommy but yesterday, she had to go back to another long week at work. I do surely miss her very much. Last night, me and daddy surprised her with dinner. It was pasta and spaghetti sauce with sausage in it. Man, it looked so good. Me and dad kept each other busy all day yesterday with taking a long walk to just dancing around the house. This morning, I do feel like I am still have a little bit of a cold because when I breathe, I sound like a cat prrrrring away. Mommy is going to call the doctor to see if I need to be checked out again. I want to let everyone know that I am still doing okay and I am still growing like a weed. I squeal, laugh, and talk constantly. Well, I hope everyone has a blessed day. I will write back soon. Love you!!! ***SAVANNAH***

My first hike

Good Morning every one... Yesterday was sooooo cool. I got to go on my very first hike with dad. We went to Ecola State Park and hiked the trail to Indian Beach. It was really cool to be walking so close to the edge of a cliff and to look down and see waves, rocks and the beach from so far away. Dad brought the video camera and we made our first documentery together. It kinda got me thinking about film school, but when I told dad he said I may change my mind in the next couple of years. We took ginger with us and I know she had a good time, because when we were done she was completely pooped, but I enjoyed taking her with us. I think she's finally coming around to accepting me as part of the family. Mom and Dad tell me that she's rally jeoulous of me... Oh well I'm the baby and she's gotta love me. Anyway after we left the park we went to go visit mom at work... I always like doing that because I see moms face light up when Dad and I walk up to the pharmacy. And all trhe ladies she works with google over me, and treat me like a princess. So yesterday was a great day and it was really great to be able to talk to Grammy and Pop, Im sorry guys that I was kind of a butt, but I was cranky and hungry. You know how it is. And Pop and NAna I enjoyed reading the comments you have been putting on. Dont worry Nana I can finally get over now... crawling is just around the corner.... I need to go get ready for church

Good Morning!! I have been so busy lately. Last week, I had my 4 month check-up and shots. I found out that I was 16 pounds 2 ounces and 26 1/2 inches long. I am a big girl. I have just been hanging out with dad. Yesterday, I went to a cook-out for our neighborhood. I met so many new people. Mom and dad were telling me that yesterday was the day that they found out that they were having me. I can't believe that it has been a year already. I was only a tadpole at this time last year. The only thing new with me is that I haven't been feeling good. I am trying to fight off a little cold. My little nose is congested and runny and I have a crappy cough. What's so crappy is that daddy has a cold going on too. For the next couple of days, it's just going to be me and mommy. I have really missed her. I hope everyone has a great day! ***SAVANNAH***

Today was awesome!!!! Dad took me for a bike ride at fort stevens. I was chillin in my bike trailer while dad did all the hard work. It was fun though. We rode through a few of the trails and then came home for lunch. I was beat so of course I had to take a nap for a while. Just before it got dark me and dad took Ginger for a walk downtown, and we stopped at the Astoria Coffee house to see what was going on. It was pretty empty there tonight so we got a latte and kept on walking. By the time we got back it was time for me to get a bath and go to bed. I wanted to wait for mom to get home though so I begged dad to let me stay up until she got home. Guess what? It worked. Well I can't wait to see what we are going to do tomorrow. Good night guys
