Snow Bunny

I love that her mittens don't have thumbs!

That's How I Roll!

This little baby has been rolling over since she was 19 days old, but I was finally disciplined enough to video it so you could all see.

Camping

Every year the Shaws camp out at Cooper Lake & all the campers decorate their campsite for Christmas. We drove out there for the day last Friday to see all the decorations & visit. Here's Savannah all bundled up.
With Harley Santa.
Savannah's first campfire.
She's tucked in there somewhere!
All toasty & asleep.
The brothers keeping the fire going.
Here's the Shaws campsite. See the floating angel?
So many lights it kinda looks like fire!

Blake cooked dinner in a dutch oven over the campfire. Chicken & rice was delicious!
Savannah changed to her reindeer outfit-fit with the outdoorsy theme.




The 3 of us, Adam, Blake, Kris, Nonna & J.O.

Santa Baby

This is the pic we used for our X-mas card this year. Can you find Brandon?

Poor Juliette didn't make it in the X-mas card photo (hard enough to get a baby to look at the camera!) But she loves lying in front of/under the tree!

2 Months Old


Sweet Savannah turned 2 months old on Dec. 6th. Our little family has really figured each other out now. It's funny how babies have so many different kinds of cries & you can tell them apart. We've figured out how she likes to be held-upright, high up in the air so she feels tall & facing out so that she can see the world...she thinks she should be held up like an adult & doesn't realize she is still a baby. And I think she has gotten so much more comfortable with life outside of the womb. She rarely cries for no reason anymore (such a relief!) This means mommy gets to take her out shopping a lot more! She is also learning how to use her hands a little better. She will hold her hand up against her pacifier to keep it in some. The most fun thing about her now is her smiling & cooing. She has a beautiful smile & is so happy! Bran & I just stood outside our car after we'd put her in her car seat after church last week watching her smile & talk. I think she's almost ready to laugh! She rolls over better now than she did at 1 month-instead of rocking back & forth, she just flips over. She makes eye-contact well & will actually look around the room until she sees us. She was sleeping through the night from the get go-but we actually had a 9 hour night this month without her waking up!

Reindeer at the Eggnog Party

My parents throw an annual eggnog party with all their friends & family. Our little reindeer was the star of the party! Her reindeer outfit is from her Pops & is adorable-it even has a tail!



Her's our family with the DeCiccos. Look at sweet Sophie holding Savannah's hand! They are going to be great friends!



She was mesmerized with the lights on the tree.

Christmas in Downtown Grapevine

We got all bundled up & went to downtown Grapevine to see the lights, carols & other Christmas festivities. Yes-our darling has a cheetah print fur coat (don't worry...not real cheetah fur!)



Savannah with Happy Feet!
