it's official...

It's official...we are finally in our new house, but more importantly, Heidi is now officially a big girl sleeping in her big girl bed!  I thought the transition would be more difficult, especially since we had a big move on top of the change, but last night was the first night and there was nothing but excitement.  Heidi helped us get the bed all set up and kept saying, "Heidi is so excited 'bout    her white bed!"  I was worried she wouldn't sleep as well, but thankfully she slept fine.  Now if we could just get Savanna to sleep...

prayers

This past weekend a certain little girl kept asking me non-stop for a treat starting at 7 in the morning.  I kept telling her, "no."  Then I happened to catch her kneeling by the stool to the rocking chair where we say family prayers every night.  She was folding her arms and I stood outside her door listening to what she was saying.  I couldn't stop laughing when I heard her say, "and please bless can I please have a cookie?"  I love listening to all the funny things she says...especially when she doesn't know I am listening.

one month

 I can't believe we have had Savanna for a month already.  It seems like yesterday I was going in for my check up that turned out to be her birthday.  We are so happy to have her in our family!  She is still just calm and content.  She is pretty predictable as far as newborns go and that helps.  She is hit or miss on the nights. We had one night where she went almost 4 hours and it was heavenly.  Then the next night she was up almost every hour.  We can't wait to get in our house and have more space to help at least make the nights a little more comfortable!
Savanna loves, loves, loves her bath.  She is so patient with her sister during bath time.  Heidi has the tendency to dump water all over head the whole time and she doesn't make a peep.  We can't wait to get more smiles out of her because she has the cutest smile in the world.  Her hair seems to be thinning more than Heidi's ever did and she has a bit of an old man hairdo and we are anxious to see if she will keep her dark hair or go lighter like Heidi did.  We love you, Savanna and we can't wait to see what the next month brings!
