Lindsay's Loves: December 2012

Savannah is beginning to really interact with us more this month. She smiles all the time, and she is developing a little chuckle (not quite laughing yet)

Loves: She still loves her Baby Bjorn! She loves it so much that I am considering getting another type of carrier that holds more weight. Mommy's shoulders are getting tired!! She also loves standing with our help, playing on her jungle mat, chewing on anybody's fingers who will let her, and when people blow raspberries on her tummy.

Eating: We had gotten her on a 3-4 hour schedule during the day, and then she hit her 3 month growth spurt which put us back to every two hours. This also put us back to every 3 hours at night. I think she is coming out of the growth spurt so we will try to get back on schedule.

Sleeping: We moved her bedtime up this month to 8:30 because that is when she seems to get sleepy. She has been sleeping 3 hours at a time during her growth spurt and wakes up for the day between 7 and 7:15 am.

Clothes:Still mostly in 0-3 month, but she is in an odd stage where the 0-3 are getting too small, but 3-6 are still too big. I will probably start just putting her in 3-6 even though they are a little big.

Fun Facts: Savannah makes a funny face very time we put her in the tub while she adjusts to the water. We call it the "bath face". We finally got it on videotape this month. Her favorite toy to grab at is her hippo with a ball on the end of it on her playmat. She hates her carseat, which means she usually hates stroller rides. She starts making a funny face and wiggling her head back and forth, and Mommy gets her out and puts her in the Bjorn. She has me trained well haha!!

Mommy Moments: Savannah blew out of several diapers this month. I almost think we need to switch from Pampers to Huggies to see if those fit her better. In light of the tragedy in Connecticut I have had several moments of just staring at her and thanking God for every moment I spend with her. I especially cherish the quiet moments of just watching her sleep.

Firsts: She rolled from her tummy to her back! She usually can do it at least once a day. She is getting pretty close to rolling from back to tummy. She turns to her side, but she can't quite get all the way over. She started swatting and grabbing at toys this month. She also stuck out her tongue for the first time, and now she does it constantly! She is like a little lizard haha!! She visited the Lakehouse for the first time. She celebrated her first Thanksgiving and took her first picture with Santa.

Now for some pictures of Month Three!
