Kumquats and such

Savannah turned 7 months on March 23rd.  She could sit up by herself without tipping over. She started the rocking motion and could inchworm wherever she wanted to go. Reagan had her "Frank" by this stage; Savannah has her doll (not pictured). Grandma gave each girl their special "thing"! She was eating fruits and vegetables at this stage. Mostly homemade. Still nursing 5-6 times a day (or getting bottles at school). Hey Colleen...recognize this bear?! Savvy loves it! Oh, and remember that photo equipment I borrowed from work? Got to use it again:) March 23rd is a significant day. It is my mother's birthday. (It's also Grammy Jill's birthday!) Every single day I miss her. But particularly on this day. She would have loved these girls. I know she is watching over all of us, but I really wish she could give them hugs & kisses and love them like Cindi does. 

In the Goodale/Campbell families, you don't just have a major life event and a small reception...not a chance. Savannah's baptism was definitely cause for a celebration, and Gary Mike & Terry were so generous they offered to host the bash! Terry ensured there were drinks & snacks for everyone while Gary Mike fixed a fabulous meal - prime rib (with 3 different sauces), twice baked potatoes & some delicious vegetable I can't seem to recall at this moment. Instead of playing photog the entire time, I snapped a few here and there and mostly just enjoyed myself.  We are so lucky to have such an amazing family! And so happy that almost everyone could celebrate with us! Savannah and Auntie Amanda...this picture cracks me up! A very unsure Uncle Chris and Savvy:)

Nearly a month ago, we had Savannah baptized. We had the ceremony and reception at Greenspring Village because it was important to us that Grandma Isabel & Grandpa Ted be there. The girls are so lucky to have 4 great grandparents...we cherish our time with them. It was an absolutely beautiful day full of family and friends. The only things missing were Jessica, the Belward's & the Moore's!  Our pastor from Wesley (Reagan's school) came over to do the baptism. We have nicknamed Savannah "Church Baby" because she just lights up when she hears Pastor Janet's voice and either coos and plays or naps during the service:)  Grandma got Reagan a cake like this, so of course, Savannah must have the same treatment!  Papa and his girls. All dressed for her big day! Grandma and her best girl! I adore this picture. Reagan was so upset and Papa was consoling her. Such a sweet moment. The ceremony was short and Pastor Janet threw en...

Happy Birthday Max!! We absolutely love our time with you and your parents and can't wait to see you today! You are such an awesome kid...and Reagan sure seems to love you!

So serious... In February, Savannah took her first shower! As you can see, she loved it! 

The other day, I went upstairs to put away some laundry. I asked Reagan to watch Savannah for me. When I came back downstairs, this is what I found:)

...is the naps you get to take with them:)
