OK...Again, it has been so long since I've updated this. But I have a good excuse. Life has been crazy since Savannah arrived. It was a little crazy before she arrived too. So October 28th was the day we were blessed with another healthy and perfect little girl. Savannah Madison was 8 pounds 4.6 ounces and 20 inches long. She was born at 2:03 PM. Sydney has been the best big sister ever. When she came to the hospital she immediately hugged and kissed her little sis...and she hasn't stopped since.
So let's review the holidays....Halloween was pretty nice. Sydney dressed up as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and Savannah wore a super cute Halloween outfit. We bought a huge bag of candy and ran out in an hour. That's ok....the little kids come around early. My mom and gram came to visit and stayed for almost 2 weeks...that was a great visit and we were all sad to see them go. Jason's parents came for Vetern's Day weekend. Sydney enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa and reading Clifford over and over and over again. My dad came to visit for Thanksgiving. I cooked a turkey, but cheated on the rest of the dinner and ordered it from a local restaurant. It was OK. Next year we'll try for a fully homemade dinner. With two little ones running around and us not getting full nights of sleep, I just decided it would be OK to cheat. At least we didn't order Chinese!
Overall we're adjusting to life with two little ones. Sydney shares all of her toys and she hasn't broken Savannah yet, so I think I can consider that a success. Time is flying by...I'll be back to work in 7 weeks...ugh! I don't even want to think about it. Although, there are some days that I wish I was at work...but we haven't had too many of those days yet.
Monday was Sydney's 1 Year Baptism Anniversary so her Godmother joined us for a yummy dinner. For the first time I took both girls to the grocery store to pick up a few items. Good thing I only needed a few things because Savannah sat in her car seat in the cart, Sydney sat in the seat, and I didn't have any room for groceries. The funniest part of the trip was when we got home. Sydney got out of the car with her baby doll. She was playing in the garage with her doll and stroller while I carried Savannah and the groceries in the house. I accidentally his the horn button on my key chain...So my car starts beeping and flashing and scaring the heck out of Sydney. I turned and looked at the door and Sydney came flying through the door screaming "BABY, BABY, BABY" with the most concerned look on her face. I tried not to laugh, but I couldn't help it. She was hysterical. We went out to the garage and saved her baby. Everyone was safe and there were no major injuries.
Sydney is a little mommy to all of her baby dolls. She is doing a great job for real on her little sis too. The other day we were preparing dinner. I was cleaning grapes, Sydney was putting the grapes in the bowl, and Savannah was sleeping in her carseat on the counter. Savannah started to fuss, so Syd immediately stopped picking up grapes, grabbed Van's carseat, rocked it a bit, and then went back to putting grapes in the bowl. It was so cute! She can multitask just like me! I swear all WOMEN were born with that ability.
So just a couple more notes about Savannah. She's doing great. And she's a great sleeper, only getting up one time per night and then going back to sleep. She is just over 5 weeks now, she's getting used to life outside of the tummy. She went to the doctor on Wednesday for a 5 week check up (actually her one month check up a week late)....and she weighed 9 pounds 9 ounces! What a WHOPPER! When Syd was 4 weeks old she weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces. At this rate Savannah may outgrow Syd in a few months!
Time for me to get dinner ready and then watch Monk tonight. It's the series finale of MONK. I'm so sad to see that show go off the air. I love Monk! Friday nights just won't ever be the same.
