9 month checkup and other things

9 month checkup and other things

I’m exhausted right now. We went to the zoo today (well, technically yesterday!) and though we had fun we wore ourselves out! We were at the zoo last week too, and this week I think Savannah noticed the animals a lot more! She got really hot, though. Note to self: put her in a lightweight ONESIE for the zoo! :-) She seems to be doing fine. Every time she’s fussy I get really nervous and paranoid, but fortunately we haven’t…

On Friday, they had a Cross Walk, which was really cool….

Cute Baby of the Cloth

Paul, Savannah, and I are back from a 11 day trip to the Dominican Republic to visit my college roommate Tree and her family! We had a great time, and I uploaded a bunch of pictures to Flickr. I am trying to figure out the best way to blog all about our trip, so look for those posts soon. :-) So remember the picture of Savannah and Maddie that we submitted to a photo contest? Well, our efforts paid off…
