Highlights from Charley's First Year

Savannah has been vocal about the joy and challenges of motherhood. She shared, “It’s so exciting — I just had to show them off,” referring to her children during an on-air segment with her Today co-stars. Her excitement reflects the happiness she feels in balancing her career with her family life. The moments where she can showcase her children on national television are certainly treasured.

“He’s good,” Mike said of his little son’s TV debut. “But, he wanted a little bit more time in the makeup chair!” Just like his famous mama, Charley loved being in front of the cameras! “He’s very smiley,” Savannah remarked of her baby boy’s reaction to being on television. Watching Charley grow, it’s clear that he has inherited his mother’s charisma and charm.

Motherhood Reflections

Savannah previously revealed that she feels complete with her two children. “I am so happy with my two little ones. I think that’s a wrap for me!” she expressed, illustrating her contentment with motherhood. She described it as “wild and great,” especially since Charley is a mellow baby compared to his spirited sister, Vale.

The challenges of motherhood are real, as Savannah openly discusses her feelings of “mom guilt.” “I have terrible mom guilt. It is so real. I’m hardly ever away from my kids. I mean, hardly ever. I feel sick inside when I’m not with them,” she shared. This honesty resonates with many parents, showcasing the love and dedication that drives them daily.

As we celebrate Charley’s first birthday, it’s heartwarming to see the love and joy Savannah shares with her family. Happy Birthday, Charley! Your smile lights up the world!
