CUTEST baby booty with the ruffles!

2 month checkup and pictures
Having Savannah around makes it seem like time passes so quickly! I feel like she just got here, and now she's already over 2 months old. I've already had to pack up all her newborn clothes and things she can't use anymore and it is very sad. :)
She looked so cute and cuddly at her 2 month appointment. She and Aaron had a great time hanging out. She and nurse Tosha, however, probably won't be fast friends anytime soon after those shots! She got 3 shots and 1 immunization by mouth to swallow. She did really well with all of them and only cried for a second. She also slept for 6 hours straight that night and most of the next day and had no negative reactions to them. I'm down for getting immunizations weekly if she'll sleep that great! hah! [Savannah might not agree with that idea though]
Savvy C weighs a whole 11 pounds and half an ounce. She is 22 1/4 inches long, and head measurement was 15 inches. She is still not sleeping through the night, but is sleeping for at least 4 hour periods right now. She is getting to be a chunky monkey and people are commenting on how she must 'not miss any meals' and 'oh those cheeks!'. Obviously we're doing one thing correctly. She is still wearing size one diapers and is in all 0-3 month clothing. [some of which is getting tight!]
SCM has a couple of things we are watching health-wise. She has a little bit of plagiocephaly on the back of her head where it is flat and her bones haven't fully separated yet. She also has a UTI that she is on RX for, as well as a diaper rash from the RX that has to be treated with another RX cream. Then she's got the kidney issues we are trying to find the cause for so we can treat and cure the condition of hydronephrosis that she has. Finally, there's the COLIC that we are dealing with. She cries A LOT and we can't find any reason she's crying, so Aaron has determined she is very colicky.
All that aside, she can be a super sweet and happy baby. Each day she is smiling more, so I think she is finally feeling better. However, we did take her 2 month pics on her 2 month birthday, when she was super sick still. Therefore, none of them are great but oh well! Such is life!

We're doing what? more pictures??
Did you sign up for this, Dumbo? Me neither!
I'm warning y'all, this isn't gonna go well. I'm sick, for crying out loud!
Dumbo, whisper in my ear the way outta this crib!
A pouty lip is all it takes?? I can do that on cue!
Daddy to the rescue!
Mama wants to try for more? Dumbo says no.

Happy 2 months, Savannah!
She celebrated by going to the doctor! At least our doc is someone special.
After I finally got over the terrible stomach monster that attacked me, SCM got really sick. She started running a low-grade fever Thursday, that ended up turning into a high fever (especially for an 8 week old) that night, and then she vomited twice. Aaron suggested we go to Arkansas Children's Hospital ER, so off we went. At 11:30 PM. I was trying to stay calm and we were just assuming she had caught what I thought was food poisoning but must've been a virus. She got her blood drawn (horrible) and urine tested (by catheder-horrible X2) and they opted out of doing a spinal tap at that time. (thank goodness)
She didn't vomit anymore, and her fever became more manageable with some tylenol. They sent us home thinking it was my virus, with instructions to give fever reducers and check in with Aaron the next day. She seemed still fussy (nothing totally new, though) and held on to the low-grade fever through Sunday. Sunday afternoon, ACH called and said her urine culture had grown some bacteria and she needed to be on an antibiotic. So we started that last night and went off to see Aaron earlier today. She seems happier already, with just a few doses of meds, and is sleeping SO MUCH better. She has a UTI and will have to have an ultrasound of her kidneys and bladder later this week. We're praying everything is normal like we think it will be, and this infection is just a fluke thing. I can't wait for all of my family to be better and happy at one time! :)

And just for kicks and giggles, look how long her eyelashes are getting! LOVE them! I'll post her 2 month pics and stats later this week.

CC's birthday!
I so wanted to get this post up yesterday, but it just didn't happen. We were too busy celebrating CC's birthday!
CC and her magic powers put SCM to sleep last night :)
What? It's time to take pictures?
Ok, I'll work on my smile...
Here's my tongue and my dimple!
All these photos are wearing me out...
So, I'll wave bye-bye.
We all love you so much and loved celebrating with you and everyone last night!
