4.22.13 - 1 month!

It's crazy how time flies!  Savannah turned 1 month old on Monday.  I really wish I could make time stand still, or at least freeze her in this stage a little longer.  I LOVE having a newborn at home again!  She sure is such a joy and we love having her with us!

Since I'm a slacker on my blogging lately and didn't get this posted, here are Vannah's 2 week stats:

Weight: 7 lbs 14.5 oz (37%)

Length: 20 inches (33%)

Head: 35.5 cm (54%)

Savannah at 1 month old!

Here are some things we've learned about our little miss Savannah in the last month since she joined our family:

-Savannah is such a mellow baby and hardly ever cries.
-She does a funny little foot twitch that I could feel her do against my ribs starting a few months before she was born.
-She's usually pretty patient with all the love, hugs, and kisses she gets from her big sister--especially when she accidentally gets squished from so much loving :)
-She wakes up 2-3 times a night to eat and then usually goes right back to sleep.
-She eats pretty consistently every three hours around the clock.
-She prefers nursing to drinking from a bottle.
-She sleeps with her eyes open a lot, just like Aurora did.
-She doesn't really make lots of sounds yet like Aurora did at this stage, but she definitely has her moments :)
-She's usually content to sit and watch what we're doing, but she really loves to be held and snuggled too.
-She doesn't really like being swaddled and prefers to sleep with her arms out.
-She smiles in her sleep a lot and I can't wait to see her smile for real!
-She has a love/hate relationship with her binky and it usually takes some convincing before she'll decide it's okay to take it.
-We moved her up to size 1 diapers about a week and a half ago.
-We moved her up to 0-3 month sized clothes this week.  She's growing way too fast!!
-She doesn't like to get her diaper changed or her clothes changed.
-She generally really likes bath time, until it's time to wash her hair.
-So far she likes car rides and slept the entire way up to Park City and back this week--her longest car ride so far.
-Her eyes are already almost the same color blue as Darwin's and Aurora's.
-She does really well at holding her head up, at least until her neck gets tired :)

Savannah is such a great baby and we're so very grateful she's here and healthy!!
