I actually don't mean baby blues like postpartum depression, I mean baby blues like "Holy smokes that baby girl has amazingly gorgeous blue eyes!" Not only are Savannah's baby blues gorgeous but the girl's got lashes for days! Pictures really don't do them justice.
Savannah Joy just turned 4 months. I'm not sure how it's possible to simultaneously think " 4 months already?!" and "Her birth seems so long ago"... but it's possible because I think it every day.
Her middle name is proving true thus far. She is such a happy, joyful child (when she's not overtired or teething - which she is teething already. Both my kids cut their first teeth at 4 months).
Here's what's going on in her little life as of recently:
- She found her feet although she has yet to realize she can get her toesies in her mouth.
- She is finding new noises to make with her voice. She squeals and squeals LOUDLY. While ear piercing, it's funny to watch her exert as much energy as possible to get the biggest squeal out she can muster. She has also started growling the past couple days. Now that noise is not so cute.
- She's cutting her first teeth.
- She ate baby oatmeal this past week and seemed to like it!
- We've begun sleep training to help her get better sleep at night since she's got in a bad habit of waking almost every hour during the night. That is not fun either.
- She loves her big sister and it's fun watching them interact. Can't wait to see that sweet little relationship grow in the years to come.
- She wants to stand up. All. the. time.
- She doesn't like being alone.
She's a sweetie and I can't get enough of this little face.
