Updates
Since my last update Savannah is doing a few new things. She's getting really good at pointing out body parts. She is still sleeping great at night, although since she goes to bed fairly early, she gets up early, which isn't the most fun for me, but hey, she's sleeping in her OWN BED!! She has stuck a few objects in the VCR and loves to turn off the dish a couple times a day. We really have to keep the remotes away or she just messes with everything. We have a variety of snacks at home, but lately if we give her a animal cracker and then try to give her a fishy or something, she doesn't want it. She wants the animal cracker! I can't wait for spring to come because we have so many cute dresses to wear and hopefully by then she will fit in them great! Oh, I don't think I've mentioned this, but in May we are going to Hawaii with all of my Dad's family. My grandpa has decided that he wants to take the whole family. (he is from there). So we're going and are really excited. Time to get in shape, for real this time. I told Carter that if he'd help me lose weight and I felt good about how I looked in May then I'd wear a bikini around everywhere there. Of course I was sort of joking, but not totally because if I can look awesome, I'm gonna flaunt it. So we shall see. Anyway, that's my update for now.

I got tagged and I never get a chance to do these things, so I'm going to do it. It's late though, so forgive any weird stuff.

Sleep Update
Savannah is such a champ! She has laid down in her bed the last three nights and fallen asleep BY HERSELF! She is totally starting to understand the bedtime routine. When we're putting her pajamas on she starts to open her mouth because afterward it's time to brush her teeth. She reads a book with Daddy and then hugs us and goes to bed. She hasn't fought at all the past 3 nights. We lay this little froggy in there with her for a few minutes until she falls asleep and she just holds it, it is so cute. I don't think she really needs or wants it, but she'll take it. I am just so excited that she has taken well to the routine. Last night Carter had to go to bed early because he had to work early and Savannah went to bed right away so I had time to scrapbook and watch tv all by myself. I'm trying to catch up on all this scrap booking, especially for Savannah. I still have wedding stuff to finish. I've been enjoying it and picking out really cute pictures. Carter and I are very excited for our favorite tv show to come back on next week, "Lost". We've been waiting forever, so it better be good. Carter has been watching the first season of "Heroes" and enjoying that. Anyway, that's my update.

New things
Savannah is doing lots of new things. For one, she loves to walk around with things over her head, especially Mommy's clothes. Surprisingly, she doesn't run into too many things.
She says peek-a-boo, toots (yes, as in farts), snacks, nose and eyes. Peek-a-boo is the cutest thing. She recognizes if anyone "toots" and will look over and say "toots". It is hilarious.
We're trying to get her onto a sleeping schedule and more of a routine right now too. She's been sleeping in her own bed, because we've been making her and at night we're trying to stick to a routine that includes a bath, brushing teeth, story, pj's, hugs and to bed. She's got tons of teeth and is doing a lot better with letting us brush them.
She is also dancing all over the place. I keep telling Carter that when we take her to any kind of dance class( which is way off in the future, but still), that they're going to turn on the music and she's just going to start dancing and act like she totally knows what she's doing. Of course by then Mommy will have taught her a few things.
Last week she had her 15 month check up and shots. She did really great. Her stats are: 31 inches long (75%), I don't know her head circum. but it was also 75% and her weight was 17 lbs. 9 oz. (under 3%). Soooo, the doctor told us to fortify her milk and put instant breakfast stuff or ovaltine in them. So that's what we're doing. He just wants her to gain some more weight. Thing is, she's always been so small and we've gone through this with the formula and whole milk and nothing has made her gain anymore weight. And now that she's so active and all over the place, she's just burning calories all day. I think she's destined to be a skinny pole.
All I know is, right now she is a lot of fun. Oh, she likes to be chased too, and giggle because of it. That's fun for her and Carter. We're definitely hoping that we can get her settled in her own bed, putting herself to sleep real soon so that we don't have to wake up and get her back to sleep or just let her scream at night. That's no fun. Well, that's the update for now.
