Savannah-Month Three

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.

Savannah-Month Two

Month Two with Savannah was even better than Month One!! She has started smiling and cooing this month, and we have so much fun interacting with her. 

  

Loves: Her swing, eating, her pacifier, watching TV, and her Baby Bjorn. The Baby Bjorn is a lifesaver!! Anytime she starts to fuss, we can put her in there and she is usually asleep within 5 minutes!

Eating:She is starting to spread out her feedings a little bit. She usually eats every three hours during the day now. At night she will usually eat every four hours.

Sleeping: She usually sleeps 3-4 hours at a time. We put her to sleep between 9:30 and 10:00. Her Daddy lays down next to her while I take a bath and she is usually asleep by the time I get out. He has the magic touch!! She usually gets up for the day at 8:00. She has even had 3 nights this month where she slept 5 hours!!

Clothes: She still wears 0-3 month clothes, although she is already starting to outgrow them! We just bought some 3-6 month pajamas the other day, but she hasn't worn them yet.

Fun Facts: As I said before, Savannah loves the Baby Bjorn more than anything else! When Daddy puts her to sleep she has to have him hold one of her arms. She started to splash in the bathtub this month. We are about to have to move her upstairs to take baths so she doesn't get our kitchen all wet!!

Mommy Moments: Savannah blew out of her first diaper this month. Luckily it was while we were at home, so we didn't have to change her clothes while we were out. This was followed shortly by her spitting up all over her hair! Needless to say she got a bath right after that!!

Firsts: She smiled for the first time, stood up with our help, sat in her Bumbo, and blew out of her first diaper. She had her first Halloween and was a bumblebee, and got babysat by both sets of grandparents for the first time.

Now for some pictures of Month Two!

Savannah-1 Month!

Well Savannah is actually 6 weeks old now, but better late than never right? We have had such a great time getting to know our little one over this past month and I can't wait to see what month 2 has in store!

 

 

Loves:Sleeping on my chest (I can hardly get her to sleep anywhere else!), rocking in Daddy's arms, looking in the mirror, sitting in her swing and watching the mobile!

Eating: She eats about every 2 hours during the day and goes about 3 hours between feedings at night. There are some days when she eats every hour during the day, but thankfully she doesn't eat that frequently at night (knock on wood!)

Sleeping: This all depends on the night. Usually she goes to sleep at around 10:30 and sleeps until 2, eats and sleeps until 5:30, eats and then sleeps until 8:30. Some nights she has slept 4 hour stretches, and some nights she has been up for 3 hours straight! So it all depends, but typically she does 3 hour stretches.

Clothes: She has been in 0-3 month clothes pretty much since she was born. Since she was born at 8 lbs, we only wore newborn clothes for about a week. She is long

Fun Facts: Savannah hates being swaddled, which most babies love! We first noticed this in the hospital. She would scream any time that her arms were wrapped up. She likes having them free! She also has the LONGEST eyelashes I have ever seen. Mommy is very jealous. And we have noticed that she can raise one eyebrow on both sides! Mommy can't do this, but Daddy can! It cracks us up.

Mommy Moments:Savannah had her first projectile spitup episode at Nana's house the other day. It actually went right over me since I was holding her up over my shoulder. It hit the dog bed and it hit my parent's dog Rocky! Poor thing haha! I have noticed

Firsts: We went to the Pumpkin Patch for the first time, "helped" Daddy carve a pumpkin, went shopping at Anthropologie, and went to church!


Now for a few pictures!
