Two Month Doctor's appointment

This morning Chris and I took Savannah for her 2 month doc appointment. She was such an angel...we got to the doc office a little earlier (for us that means "on time"!) and fed her while we waited an HOUR for the nurse to call us back. In the meantime, Savannah entertained all of the ladies in the waiting room...she was laughing, smiling and cooing. She has certainly blossomed into such a social butterfly and she's only 2 months old...of course...as her mommy I think she's a genius! She weighed 9 lbs 13 ounces and was 22 inches long...she's a petite little thing! She is really starting to fill out...her little checks are getting big and they are rosy..it's so precious! And her little arms and thighs are JUICY...yep, I said JUICY...I just want to squeeze her, she so lovable! I didn't take my camera to the doc appointment, I figured the pics wouldn't be to good seeing that she was getting her 2 months shots. She did so good! She was smiling at the nurse, completely oblivious to what was about to happen to her....then out came the needles and OUCH! She had the most pitiful face...she stuck that bottom lip out and then came the scream, followed by the red face...I picked her up and gave her the paci and cuddled with her and she was fine. She's been doing okay today with the Tylenol every 4 hours...she's had a little fever, but nothing to terribly bad. You can tell that she isn't feeling like her old self...she will just sit there and every now and then she let out a little whimper. She's such a trooper! Chris and I did very well through the shots, it was much better than what I had anticipated.

Tomorrow we have a big day...we're going to the Pumpkin Patch with some friends of ours and their two cutie pies, Maggie & Thomas Henry. Then we are going to meet Aunt Margaret and SheShe to do a little shopping. It's been a while since Aunt Margaret has seen Savannah, she's been in New York and Washington D.C. with Emalee...can't wait to hear all about there trip. Chris is probably going to be working in the yards...we are STILL trying to get our backyard in order after Tropical Storm Fay!

My favorite photos of Savannah

Couldn't you just eat her up?
Nice little view up her nostrile...sorry, but I thought it was a funny photo
This photo CRACKS me up....who does she take after with this glare??? Check out those checks...she looks like a chipmunk!

Random photos

Hanging out with Mommie...I have to find ways to entertain her while I get ready...on this day, she was enjoying her "wake" time by laying in her Boppy (love that thing!)
Smiling for Daddy...she had just finished eating.
"Wake" time...looks like she busting a dance move.
She likes her bath time.
Playing dress up with Mommie! Ain't she cute?


SPOILED ROTTEN

Savannah and I stopped by Mom's office to see everybody...all the ladies at Mom's office are so sweet and they totally fell in love with Savy! Who wouldn't?


PROJECTILE

Before I was a Mommie, I would hear horror stories about parents that had babies that were projectile vomiters...the stories would get more and more detailed and to be honest pretty darn disgusting...as I listened to these stories, I would think to myself, "man, that had to suck!" Well, this particular afternoon I found myself in their shoes. Savannah has never had a problem with projectile vomiting, maybe some little spit-ups, but that's it. Here's how it all went down....I fed her the normal amount of food at her scheduled feeding...I burped her every ounce and even burped a little extra after she finished her bottle...after about an hour of burping and wake time, it was time to change her diaper and lay her down for her nap. The diaper change was successful, but about the time I went to pick her up, she had this weird look on her face...eyes opened WIDE. And that's all she wrote..she threw up all over herself, all over the changing pad cover, some landed on the carpet, but I managed to dodge a large portion of it...it only got on my leg. Then came the clean up effots...I had to strip her down, give her a bath, wash the changing pad over, clean the carpet, I had to take a bath and change clothes...after all of that...it was Corona time. No, I'm just joking....it wasn't Corona time...it came later that night! I had to take a photo of the mess Savannah and I made in a hour time frame...I found the Corona bottles in the recycle bin in the garage and thought it would be a nice accessory in this photos. Total madness!

Savannah's 1 month doctor's visit

Ain't she cute?...she was all dressed up for her one month appointment. I am very happy to report that Savannah has conquered her little tummy problem that I blogged about back in August. It all boiled down to be milk allergies. She is now regulated on a formula that is easier on her stomach.

Visit with Aunt Treva

While Chris and I were in Panama City, we stopped by to visit with his Aunt Treva and Uncle Don. We had a great visit...Aunt Treva got some sweet Savannah sugar! We are looking forward to visiting with Aunt Sherry and Aunt Alimae very soon!
