Big Walker!!!

So Savannah is finally walking now!!! She will crawl every once in a while, but for the most part she is on her feet, teeder toddering around. Next Monday she will officially be moving from the infant room at daycare over to the toddler room. This is very excited for all of us!

Savannah also had her 15 month check up this week. Here are her current stats:

Weight 24.5 lbs - 95%
Height 32.75 - 97%

She is off the bottle now and is starting to become a toddler. I am going to miss the baby stage, but we are looking forward to everything else that will come!

Savannah's Baptism

Last Sunday, Savannah was baptized. She was baptized at All Saints' Episcopal church, April 15, 2012 at 11am. The baptism takes place during church. Savannah was hard to keep still during church, but Daddy did a great job keeping her entertained. Savannah did great during the actual baptism and didn't cry at all. She wore a baptism gown that has been on my Mother's side of the family for 100 years. Abby, my brother, my Mom and I all wore this gown and many more on my side of the family! It was very special to us to have Savannah also wear this on her baptism. We were a little behind in scheduling the baptism so the gown barley fit!

After the baptism we went back to Nana Barbara's house and had lunch and cake. So much of our family was there to celebrate this day with us. It was great that we could share this with everyone!!

Easter

We had a busy Easter weekend this year....full of lots of egg hunts! The egg hunts started the weekend before Easter at their daycare. Explorers in Learning put on a big egg hunt and Abby found a few eggs with gift cards as prizes. Then the Friday before Easter each of their classes had another egg hunt. Luckily we got a lot more stickers than candy.

The Saturday before Easter the church in our neighborhood had their big Easter Egg Hunt at Quail Run Elementary school. This was Savannah's first year being able to participate in the hunt. Savannah has taken a few steps at this point, but when she saw the eggs and the other toddlers walking to get them....she got up and started walking. All it took was a little competition of an egg hunt to really get her going. All weekend she was walking more and more. It is really nice to have her off the floor now!

On Saturday night we went over to Eric and Amy's for dinner with Dan, Jaci and Great Grandma Grace who was in town from Springfield, MO. We all sat outside and helped while Abby and Savannah dyed eggs.

On Easter Sunday we went to church with Nana. After church there was another egg hunt....of course! Then on Sunday night we joined Dan, Jaci, Great Grandma Grace, Eric and Amy at the Mesa Country Club for dinner. It was a great weekend!!
