8 months old

Savannah turned 8 months old last week. She is such a joy. She loves to laugh and play and watch everything her big brother does. She is not crawling yet, but she scoots and rolls around and can pretty much get anywhere she wants to. She is still not sleeping through the night, but on a positive note, she is now sleeping in her crib in her own bedroom! She will have her 9 month check up next month, so I will post her height and weight stats then. We love our sweet Savannah Rose!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day from The Switzers! We hope you had a fun day, full of love! Below is the Valentine that Sawyer and Savannah sent out. I thought it turned out really cute!

After I had ordered the other cards, our photographer, Allyssa Maisano, created a card for us! I didnt know she was going to do that! So we ended up with two cards! I loved them both!

Sawyer and Savannah both woke up on Valentines Day to some fun presents!

Leading up to Valentines Day, we had alot of fun getting ready. Sawyer and I decorated cookies!

He was a great helper in his apron!

The finished product was really good!

We also had lot of fun dressing up in our Valentines gear.

Sawyer is my great helper when it comes to making muffins. He is always up for making muffins! And licking the batter!

Sweet Savannah loves an excuse to wear one of her pretty tutus!

We hope you had a great Valentines!

Supermodel

Still catching up from January.......something very exciting happened to Savannah! She auditioned for a JCPenney print ad and she booked it! It is for their Spring Campaign and it was very exciting! Here are some pics I just snapped from my phone from on-set.

I know it is hard to see, but she is being held by the female model, and she is wearing a bright pink tutu! They changed her outfit about 10 times, so I have no idea what she will actually be wearing in the ad!

The little model in her trailer after her shoot. I am so proud of her!

The agency contacted me after the shoot, and said the client (JCPenney) was very happy with Savannah. They want both her and Sawyer to come in for an interview to have them officially represent them! So, we will see what happens!

Our sweet little supermodel! Keep your eyes peeled for her in a JCPenney ad!

Waaaaaay behind

So I wondered how long after having two kids it would take for me to be too busy to update this blog regularly! Answer: about 6 months! I feel terrible about not posting as often as I normally do, but my hands are very full right now with both my babies! I know I completely missed January, so here is a VERY BRIEF recap of January. I promise to blog more often from now on!

January brought a milestone for Savannah.....she got to start sitting in the high chair and got to begin eating baby food! She loves sitting in the kitchen with us and LOVES to eat. She rarely gives me a hard time with any food, and always wants more when she is done! She did gag on the peas the first time she ate them, which was actually pretty funny! She kept gagging, but that didnt stop her from wanting more!

A look down memory lane.....Sawyer also began sitting in the high chair at 6 months old! Its funny that she is so much bigger than he was, but he looks bigger to me in pictures!

Savannah also loves sitting in her Bumbo seat!

Sawyer has fun wherever he goes. He was so happy when he went to Lowes with Mommy and got to drive an awesome shopping cart!

He kept yelling, Beep Beep, out of the way! Coming through! It was so cute!

Savannah is our sweet girl, who is always smiling!

She loves to talk and says "ba ba ba ba" all the time!

Sports Clips is our place of choice for Sawyer's haircuts now, and everyone there loves him! He is so good and doesnt fuss at all about getting his haircut! He laughs when the razor comes out because he says it tickles!

Awesome big boy haircut! Look how great my baby looks!

Savannah loves the nursery at church!

She is the best dressed baby in the nursery, lol!

That was just a brief look at our January. I promise to keep this updated more often! Valentine's day is right around the corner! We cant wait!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Switzers! I have been terrible about blogging over the last few weeks, so I am going to post pictures from the last few days of Christmas celebrations, and then I will go back later this week and post some pictures of our December fun and activities!

Friday night, we had a family dinner at Nana and Papa Heberlein's house to celebrate Christmas with our extended family!

Sawyer got to open some fun gifts from his relatives!

Saturday, we spent the day at Nana and Papa Heberlein's house for Christmas Eve. We had a great time just relaxing, eating and opening gifts.

Sawyer, Aaron, Savannah and Cara- Christmas Eve 2011

After the kids got baths and jammies on, we got to open some presents!

Santa came to our house that night!

He brought Sawyer a Woody and Jesse doll and a giant activity pad with stickers and activities. He also filled his stocking with Legos, books and other fun things.

Santa brought Savannah a baby doll and filled her stocking with some tights, a sun hat, a pink sock monkey, and an Abby Cadaby book.

Sawyer was SO HAPPY to finally have a big Jesse and Woody to go with his big Buzz.

Sawyer and Daddy got matching ties from Mommy!

Sweet brother and sister! Sawyer loves his baby sister!

Sunday, after we opened presents at our house, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Switzer's house for the day.

We had fun eating and opening presents!

Sawyer and Savannah got to spend some time with their Great-Grandmother Gigi.

Is she wearing enough ruffles?

After a long day of playing, the kids changed into their jammies to wind down, but that did not stop the playing!

Daddy and Sawyer had fun "fighting"! Savannah loved it and was screaming and cheering them on!

Sweet Christmas baby

We had a great couple of days celebrating with family. Ill post soon with pictures from the last couple of weeks! Merry Christmas!
