Hair LOVE

Couldn't resist pampering my sweet girl! She got her hair straightened by Momma, and she loved it! She's gonna be Momma's Spa partner before I know it!!

...she also LOVES watching Momma put on her make up!! I will admit, she told me she loves lip gloss already! ;)

Savannah Baby Rolls

Its official, our sweet girl rolls! She started rolling from her belly to her back about 2 weeks ago, and she does it all the time when we put her on her belly. Yesterday was the first time that she rolled from her back onto her belly!! Hubby and I were both getting ready for church, when all of a sudden hubby yells "She did it." She was playing in the living room, and we would look in at her every once in a while because she was so close to rolling over a couple of times, and sure enough she rolled over!! The bait was the little purple toy that she is trying to grab in the picture.

Our little Savannah baby is growing up!

Today we had your well check, and shots. I was a miserable wreck. It is so hard on me I literally get nauseated. My hubby had to stay with her as usual. The first time I sat in the room and sobbed right with her, now this time I left the room. Only long enough for her to get them, then I was right back in to console my sweet angel. She is such a trooper but this time was rough for her. She cried A LOT. Without baby Ty.lenol she probably would still be miserable. I am already dreading her next visit in 2 months.

You hands are now aware of everything that is around you, and everything goes straight to your mouth!

You are my SWEET GIRL!!! I could kiss you a million times in a day and it would still not be enough!!

You squeal with joy most of the day and it just melts my heart. We will have conversations with each other too! :)

You love floor time, but have not rolled over yet! You are so close, I think it will be any day now! You are a supported sitter.

Sleep:

Your sleep has gotten a little worse this last month. You now take a while before you are settled for the night. Right after we lay you in your crib asleep around 7pm, you usually wake up anywhere from 1-3times pretty much right away until about 9pm. Then you sleep until about 2-3am, I will then feed you and you are back in bed asleep about 45 minutes later. You have been waking up right around 7am, if that is the way your night goes. I really cannot complain since I am able to be a SAHM, but I will say I was spoiled for about a month and a half when you were sleeping through the night!!

Your naps are really good, but the problem is, you nap in your swing! Every once in a while I will try to put you in your crib but you will not nap long at all. I am going to keep trying, because very soon you will be too big for your swing then we might be in trouble! Here is your nap routine during the day!

Approximate times:

Wake @ 7am

1st nap @ 8:30am-10am

2nd nap@ 12pm-2pm

3rd nap @ 4-4:30ish

Bedtime @ 7pm

Eat:

We tried Rice cereal this past month, and you loved it, but it did not love you. It gave you gas and constipation, so we quit that and decided to wait a while before trying some other foods. Ever since the rice cereal you have not been sleeping as good either, I was disappointed that the rice cereal messed up your great sleep schedule. I think I will try out some 1st foods and oatmeal cereal the first of this next week.

I would love to hear of your experiences with how it went for you when you started introducing solids!

You are still breastfeeding, and it is going really well. You are starting to get easily distracted while feeding which makes it challenging sometimes. You usually almost always make it to 3 hours between feedings, it depends a lot on how good you nap. I pump once each night, and it is so nice to have a milk storage in the freezer!

Clothes:

We found out today at your well check that you are one tall girl!! I knew all along but today just confirmed it! You are 26 inches long and because of that you are out of all your 3-6 month sleepers, the 6 month ones still fit. Mostly everything else in the size 3-6 still fits your length. You are still in some 0-3 onesies, but will probably be out of those soon. You have been wearing mostly 3-6 and 6 months, it just depends on the brand.

You are in size 2 diaper, and you wear Pam.pers Sw.addlers.

Today I feel SO blessed to have the opportunity to be your momma. You fill my life with so much joy. I love you babygirl.
