Here are some pics of Savannah on her 7 week birthday!

Time has flown by as I have been on maternity leave. I go back in a week and our sweet girl is already a little over a month old. So much has been going on. 2 weeks ago I went over to my mom's house to drop Savannah off before I went to teach dance and SURPRISE Marissa was there. I was so happy. She flew in for a couple days. We hung out Saturday, and then went to the fair as a family on Sunday. I love when she is here, I miss her so much. Charlie gave me a gift after the baby was born that was a massage. It was so relaxing and great. On October 18th was our 3 year anniversary of first meeting. We went on our first date to Friday's where is all began. I am a lucky girl to have met such a great husband and father! This week we have kind of alot going on. Today I have my post baby doc appointment. Wednesday, Charlie's grandmother and aunt are coming in town for the day to see the baby. Then my aunt and cousin are coming in town for the weekend. Then I go back to work. I will miss Savannah so much! She is just so cute and fun to be with.

So here we are, at 4 1/2 weeks old. Savannah is now smiling regularly! Well, regularly in that she smiles after long naps, and when she sees mom and dad. It's not constant yet, but it's happening often enough for us to think she's not just doing it by accident. Not really much of an update otherwise, other than we have gone from newborn diapers to size 1 diapers. Here is a video of smiling Savi!

Savannah is 3 weeks old! She is doing so well and learning new things everyday. She has lots of alert time during the day which can be tiring on Charlie and I, but is so good for her! She is so little and I would love to know what is going through her mind when she just sits and stares and looks around. We are not getting all the sleep in the world, but it is a well worth it cause! Charlie and I just love her so much and can't get enough. Uncle Chris came home to see her and it was great to see him hold her for the first time. Here are some pics from the visit and a cute one I stole of her during her alert time:)

Today, we went to the State Fair. We were minus one family member though, as Savannah is still a wee bit too young to take on such an enormous event. But I think she might have had more fun staying with Mims (Grandma Scott). This was the first time Brittany and I went out on our own without the baby. Sure, we have had to drop her off for an hour or two here and there when the other is at work, but this was the first true day out. It was fun, but I know I really missed my baby girl. Here are some of the pictures of our fun day!



Savannah, Mims, and Grandpa Scott on mom and dad's first day out!

Kristin came too!

Daddy got a new camera, so he took some pictures! I'm sure there will be many, many pictures here, both professional and daddy shots in the near future!

Not to much has been going on. Just taking care of Savannah and keeping up on sleep:) She is already 2 weeks old. So crazy! This week should be pretty mellow. Charlie is working today, and then is off for 3. We are going to the fair on Thursday! I am excited. We go every year. Charlie's mom is going to watch Savannah. Maybe she can go next year. Yesterday we had a lady come to the house to take pictures of us as a family and just Savannah. Below is a preview of some. I love them so far!

Yes, we are very happy! Our family of two has grown to a family of three! Savannah is 12 days old now, and has already gained 8 ounces (half pound) and grown 2.5 inches since birth! Her last pedi appointment showed she was healthy, happy and normal! What more could we ask for!

Brittany and I are both learning to deal with 3 hour sleep intervals, and so far it hasn't been all that bad. Already Savannah is adjusting to the day/night cycle. She is alert and awake more often during the day, and sleeps very well at night.

Here is a quick video of her yesterday!

Savannah was one week yesterday. She is still so little, but getting bigger already at the same time. Charlie has been home for the last 2 weeks and we have loved just hanging out with her and learning all this parent stuff. The doctor said she looked good and was happy and healthy! Charlie goes back to work tomorrow and I am going to go teach dance for a little while. Grandma Boles is going to watch Savannah. We took her out on walk a couple days ago. She slept for most of it, but I am sure she enjoyed it! Uncle Bryan came to see Savannah! Charlie's parents closed on the house finally that is across the street from ours. So we are blessed to have both sets of grandparents close to us! Here are some pics from the week:)

Charlie and I are home with our precious girl. We went into the hospital September 10th to get a little help with the inducing and ended up not needing it all. My body went the rest of the way on its own and out came Savannah September 11th. She had so many visitors and we got to come home the next day. Today was our first full day and it was great. She did wonderful and we also gave her her first bath. She did ok. Can't say she loved it but it was pretty good. Charlie has been wonderful. He has been a great dad and husband. Making sure I am doing as little as possible to heal nice and quick and taking care of his daughter. We are working hard to be a happy, healthy family!
