Our life with Little Miss Savannah so far

These past couple weeks have been some of the most amazing of our life. Yes, we had some nights with little to no sleep but we have been blessed with an exceptional baby. She is so content and we love her to death. The only time she gets fussy is when she is hungry and when she has a stinky bum lol. I don't go back to work till the first week of January and although I miss my other girls, it has been a blast having this time to bond with Savannah. Anyone who knows me knows I have a passion for taking care of children but I never knew just how rewarding taking care of my own would be. The love I feel for her is so strong and honestly, I sit back everyday in awe that I am a mommy. 




Cory has been so great! He is a natural at being a dad. He handles her as if she has been around forever. There is not an ounce of hesitation in anything he does when it comes to his little girl. I will tell ya, she has him wrapped around her little finger and it is precious.  Not only is Cory in school right now but he also taking on the burden of being the only one of us working because he wanted me to have time to recover after having Savannah. Seeing him hold her and just love on her is the most beautiful thing. He is so sweet and is always willing to do whatever he can to make sure she is content. I probably take at least one picture of the two of them together daily because everyday she looks more and more like her daddy and I think it is adorable. 



Here are some things we have learned about Miss Savannah that are pretty stinking cute


1. She is not a fan of bath time! She does however love having her hair washed and brushed, she is such a girly girl already.



2. She loves to sit up  like  a big girl a cuddle with daddy.

3. She loves to sleep!




4. She HATES to be cold.....so we got to keep her nice and warm.




The first couple weeks of her life we had visitors constantly so it was a little more difficult to get a routine down but now, for the most part she is on a schedule and is doing so great with it. She eats every four hours and in between she has like an hour or two of being alert and then an hour or two of sleeping. She does so great at night now as well. She generally will sleep for a five hour stretch, then she eats and will sleep for another three or four hours. It is so nice for Cory and I because we can actually function like normal people again. SO the last five and a half weeks have been great and we are so looking forward to next week when we head to California for Christmas break and can introduce Savannah to more relatives and more family friends. 


Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!!!!
