Savannah Jo – Eight Months Old! |

Savannah Jo:

How are you already 8 months old?! They say, “the days are long, but the years are short,” and I couldn’t agree more. I keep telling your dad that we’re going to blink and you will be a teenager. This month was an absolute whirlwind! You decided that you wanted to start crawling and that was the end of keeping you “contained”. The world has suddenly become so BIG, and you can’t wait to go experience (and eat) all of it.

Dad’s team made it to Nationals, so we spent quite a few nights without him this month. We missed him a lot! But, time stood still for one perfect day when we took you to the Zoo. Dad and I love hanging out with you and helping you experience new things. There’s nothing better than watching discovery in your eyes. We dedicated you to the Lord in a special ceremony at Journey Church International. While Pastor Christian prayed for you, you kept lifting up his jacket and looking inside. You are a little stinker!

Wedding season arrived and I spent a whopping 11 hours away from you shooting a video! It was the longest you and I have spent apart since you were born. But, we did survive!

This month, you have started grunting during meal times and looking with desire at MY plate! I had just mastered making your baby purees from scratch and now you only want to feed yourself real food! What happened to my little baby?! You have a strong will and a strong spirit and I can’t wait to see how the Lord will use you.

In the meantime, I fall in love with you more everyday!

You’d never know she had a death grip on two spoons and would scream if I tried to take them. You wouldn’t know that I teared up because she wants to feed herself now and she’s just so independent for an 8 month old. You’ve never know because every night before bed, she looks simply angelic and whatever we endured during the day is already a fleeting memory…
