Easter Basket

We got SCM the cutest little Easter basket and I wanted to take a few shots of her with it before it got filled by the Easter Bunny Sunday morning.

Turns out she fits perfectly inside it!

What in the world, you crazy people!?!

That's better.  Standing is my position of choice these days.

Mama, you're so funny!

Gimme the basket! It needs to be chewed on!

What do you mean I can't chew on it?

Well in that case, let's go back inside! I'll get this basket, don't worry.

Easter Egg Hunt

Birc and I took Savannah to the St. James "Easter Eggstravaganza" on Saturday so she could meet the Easter Bunny.  We won't talk about what our Easter Bunny looked like, but I will say she was not old enough to be scared but next year she will be! hah! We had a great time and can't wait til she's running around next year hunting eggs with all the kids!

She looks thrilled, I know! :)

Happy 4 months, Savannah!

Can't believe my sweet girl is 4 MONTHS OLD! I see babies smaller than her now, and that is crazy cause I feel like I just had her in my belly!  Savannah went to see her uncle Aaron on her 4 month birthday and she weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds, 15 ounces, and was 2 feet tall exactly! Her head was 16 inches, and everything checked out great.  She is in the 50% for everything and Aaron said she looked super with all her milestones.  She has rolled over from belly to back lots and she can hold her head up and "swim" on the ground great, and she has become quite the talker this month.  She is still wearing a few 0-3 month things, but mostly 3-6 month clothes.  She's still in a size 2 diaper and has been wearing shoes a lot more.  Her colic is getting better slowly, but we still have days and evenings (and especially at church) where she just screams at the top of her lungs and we can do absolutely nothing to console her.  Which can be pretty embarrassing (I'm sure I'm only at the beginning of being embarrassed by my child).

The pictures above are probably the best ones we got! She was not into the photo session at all, so I'll choose some of the funnier outtakes for your enjoyment :)

Seriously? Not this again...

Daddy, can you save me??

No Daddy! You have a camera too??? Now I'm really in for it....

Panda, this cool dance move doesn't work unless you move your arms

Somebody out there get me outta here...please??

If I pull this sticker off and chew it up, this photo session has to be over! See ya!

Tummy time with CC

I so wish I was home to see my sweet girl and all her smiles, but at least CC gets them! Also, I think my pictures are smaller because I'm making these posts from Birc's phone and not my computer. Tummy time is quickly turning into rolling over practice as you can see. :)

Happy Palm Sunday!

Our sweet girl on her first Palm Sunday! She started the day at church in a sweet smocked dress, but these days anything she wears in the morning she poops on by noon! Hence the pics on the changing table. So she changed to pose with her palm branch (and mama's hair).

One week down...

And about a million to go! I just completed my first whole week back at work full time, and I am so happy it is the weekend! I love my job but I love free time with my family more :) Sometimes the thought of working for the rest of my life and possibly missing out on some big and fun and great moments in Savannah's life just gets me down. I am thankful I have a job that I love and enjoy and can grow and change thru it. Otherwise I would have a terrible time returning to work. Even still, it sure is nice to come home to my sweet girl every night!

Hopefully I can blog better soon. (does anyone realize how long it takes to wash and sanitize all the pump parts, the bottles, and everything each day?) I had no idea how much effort it would take on my part to continue breast feeding when I got back to work. It's all worth it though, so I'm pushing thru.

See everybody next week! Savannah will be 4 whole months old on Friday! I can't believe it! (and down memory lane, can you believe she was ever this tiny??)

TGIF. For Real.

I have a feeling weekends are going to be extra special for me since I've returned to work.  I get all day and night to love on my sweet girl and be with my sweet husband. 

Thanks for my dino shirt Anna and Aaron!

Oh, and we can't forget these two cuties:

Happy weekend! Happy Spring too!
