Savannah - 4 Month Check Up

I Can't believe our baby is already 4 months old! She went to the Dr. yesterday for her checkup. She is now 27 3/4 inches long (100%) and weighs 16.7 lbs (95%). She is going to be tall like her sister....maybe even taller! She got 4 vaccines yesterday. One was liquid and the other 3 were shots. She cried, but only for a minute and then was okay. Savannah is smiling and giggling a lot now. She talks a lot even though we don't know what she is saying. She can hold and reach for all her toys and loves to sit in her bumbo and look around. Her hair is sloooooowly starting to grow, but her head still looks like a little tennis ball. She hasn't rolled over yet, but I am sure that will happen soon. We are in no hurry with this one. We kind of like the stage of her just laying around and being all cuddly. Once she starts moving the days of cuddling may be few....sniff, sniff. It is amazing how with Abby I just wanted her to grow and see what the next stage was and with Savannah I just want her to stay a baby for as long as possible.

Mother's Day in Carlsbad

This Mother’s Day weekend we went to Carlsbad, CA to enjoy the beach before the summer AZ heats sets in. Granny Annie came with us too! We drove over on Thursday night. On Friday we went shopping at the outlets and then went to the strawberry fields to pick strawberries. Abby had fun picking strawberries….and we all had fun eating them along the way! Then we went to the beach in the afternoon. It was Savannah’s first trip to the beach. Granny had bought her a new bathing suit and she was ready to go. Of course she spent most of her time at the beach napping, but got to feel the water a little. It was a little too cold for her. The weather was perfect. The beach we went to on Friday was not so perfect. Turns out there was oil on the sand. It looked washed up from the water. Not fun when we all stepped in it. Luckily we figured out that if we took a baby wipe and rubbed at it…for a loooooong time it came off. Glad we had lots of baby wipes around. On Saturday we went back to the beach. The weather again was amazing. We went to a different part of the beach in Carlsbad and there was no oil so that was good. Sunday we drove home! It was a very fun and relaxing Mother’s Day!!!
