While we were with my family this past week, we put together an "Elf Yourself" dance with my parents and their three granddaughters. I figured I'd post it since I hadn't posted for a while. I'll post pictures of our trip to South Carolina soon. Go here and check out the dance and then make one for yourself. It's lots of fun!

We have started giving Savannah Gerber fruit puffs. Her cousins shared some with her a while ago and she did pretty well when we put it in her mouth, but we've been putting some on her highchair tray so she can practice picking them up and getting them into her own mouth. It's been so funny to watch her! She grabs it so it's in the middle of her fist and then puts her fist up to her mouth and tries so hard to get it. They get kinda sticky when they get wet, so it ends up sticking to her fingers of the palm of her hand instead of going into her mouth. But she is getting better and better with it. Last night we tried Cheerios and she did great with those, too. Here are some pictures of her first attempt with getting the puffs in her mouth. You can tell it was a little frustrating for her!
I'm sitting here watching Savannah crawl around the floor, pull herself up to standing while she holds onto the table, and then I watched her cruise along to the other side of the table and from the table to the ottoman! I can't believe how much she's getting around! And not only has she learned to cruise today, she's also learned to fall on her bottom instead of her head, which is great! Earlier this week, she would pull herself up on the table and then tip over and land flat on her back. But today, she's started bending her knees and leaning back so she lands on her bottom. Watching her grow up is incredible! Babies truly are a continuous miracle. I just had to post this while I was being amazed so I could get this milestone documented (she's 7.5 mos.).
And if you look closely, you can just barely see her two bottom teeth that just came in!
Savannah's cousin Lyla showed us her new hair rubber bands that are great for doing their fine hair! We borrowed some and took some pictures of the girls with their hair done. Poor little Pretzels, though, has a bit more hair to grow before she's ready for pig-tails (she actually has a head full of curls, you just can tell from these pictures!). They sure are cute though in their matching diapers and big round bellies! I love these girls!
There are those curls I was talking about- don't you just love 'em?
I've slowed down on the blogging a little bit lately, but maybe it was a good thing. I think Savi may have started picking up on my blogging addiction.
