Our little girl turned ONE on Tuesday! Time sure has flown and we can't imagine our crazy life without her! We began the birthday festivities on Saturday with friends, family and LOTS of fun!
...The birthday cupcakes...(yes, Heather, I did make them)
Uncle Garrett gave Savanna a very cute and cuddly duck
(We've named him Perry the Platy-Duck...the stuffed animal looks like a mix between a platypus and a duck)
...A couple of the party-going grandparents...
...A few from the Hardcastle bunch...
Savanna's only a little excited about this toy, can you tell? It's a cute keyboard and play station. (Thanks to the Fox Grandparents.)

Let's take a quick break for the cake...the glorious cake. Savanna wasn't too sure about it in the beginning, but after a few minutes...well, you can see for yourself!
Sticky, messy fingers...a little timid
Insert fist in mouth...tastes pretty good
It tastes really good...check out the chunk she ate!
Frosting and cake on hands, face, hair and belly? Check!
We think she approves!

Okay...back to the party! With a fresh change of clothes and a tummy full of sugar, Savanna was ready for another go-around with toys.
She loved playing with the balloons (and the empty boxes) more than anything else!
Here's the Platy-Duck again!
This toy sends plastic balls flying! Savanna has figured out how to play it by herself...giving Mommy and Daddy a breather from chasing the balls around the house! (Thanks Hardcastles!)
She's a mighty spoiled little birthday girl!
Check this out! A HUGE hooded bath towel with Savanna's name embroidered down the side (Thanks, Aunt Sandy!)...we tested it out and she loves it!
Here she is getting ready by brushing her own teeth. (She really does try...and it's pretty hilarious.)
Here she is post-check-up. See that Elmo sticker? She got that for being such a brave girl for her FOUR shots! Ouch!

On Wednesday Savanna had her 12-month check-up. Yippee!
Here she is getting ready by brushing her own teeth. (She really does try...and it's pretty hilarious.)Here are the stats:
Height: 31 inches (97th percentile)
Weight: 26 pounds 6 ounces (100th percentile)
She's perfect all around!

Well, as luck would have it, a package arrived for Savanna. Grandma Fox down in Arizona sent up a birthday baby doll just in time to chase away the vaccination blues! Apparently, this particular baby doll has been kid tested (ahem...Hayley) and mother approved (ahem...Mom). Thanks, Mom...she loves it!
She sang to it and played with it all night long.
...and gave it lots of loves too!

Her birthday has been a great one and we are so proud to be her parents! She is constantly making us laugh and amazing us around every turn!
We love you, Nanna!
