Life With Savannah

Savannah has turned out to be an interesting little thing. She makes the strangest noises and makes them loud! When she cries, she SCREAMS bloody murder. She LOVES to be held and will cry until you pick her up. When we burp her, she spits up most of the time. Scarlett almost never spat up. When Scarlett burped, air was the only thing that came out. Savannah is quite the little diva and she lets you know it! She is SO needy and demands SO much attention.

Savannah's physical attributes are amazing. Her hair is truly beautiful. It's curly and dark brown with light brown and red highlights on the ends. Her eyebrows are red and she has blue eyes like her daddy. Her fingers and toes are so boney and skinny. She is still white as snow! When she's cold, I can see her veins and blood vessels through her skin.

Anyway, here is a glimpse into what our lives have been like since Savannah has arrived!

Just arrived home from the hospital.

Scarlett holding her baby sister for the 1st time.

It was time to take the baby away and Scarlett got upset :o(

I gave Savannah back and Scarlett was happy again!

Scarlett loves giving the baby hugs and kisses.

The kisses just keep on coming!

Who knows what Scarlett is doing. BTW, I have officially packed away my mu mu's!

Super excited to be holding Savannah.

Scarlett has gotten pretty good at holding her sister.

More silliness!

Taking a much needed nap.

There's those blue eyes.

Occasionally, Scarlett will raise the bumpers in the crib to check on Savannah. I think that is the cutest thing!

I think we were just hanging out on the day Jeremiah took this one. Scarlett has come a long way from being the green eyed monster after Savannah arrived. She LOVES her baby sister and has become somewhat protective over her. When Savannah cries, Scarlett will hold her hand or give her kisses.

Napping again. She gets that habit after her daddy!

More kisses!

Then it was Christmas! Suddenly, opening presents was more important than loving on Savannah.

She couldn't wait to play with this doll.

Loving Minnie Mouse.

Liz came back from KS and life got more insane!

All in all we are doing well. I lost 15 lbs the 1st week after I had the baby. My weight got up to 155 or 156. I was at 122lbs when I got pregnant. I'm now at 140 and have a long way to go before I'm 122 again. Some days I suffer from cabin fever BAD. I stay inside because that is what is best for Savannah. Savannah got sick 2 days after she came home and is still suffering from a cold. It freaked me out and I started stressing big time. She's getting better but not fast enough...my poor little munchkin. I hope I never have a winter baby again!!!

Happy New Year!
