Rough Night!

Savannah had a rough night last night, and she's still very fussy today. I figured I was in for a rough night after she starting running a higher fever than normal with her shots. The poor thing kept fussing on and off last night, and she was really clingy to me. I had to hold and rock her for a long time. If I even tried to put her down, she would cry. We finally got her to bed around 10:30.

Of course, I woke her up around 12:30 because I thought she her fever had went up high. I had checked her with a forehead thermometer, and it registered 102. I checked her temperature with her thermometer after I woke her up only to find out the Tylenol we had given her earlier worked. She wasn't running any fever. I had to fix her a bottle in order to get her to go back to sleep. I am such a dunce, but what can I say.

I didn't get much sleep last night since I ended up having to get up with her again around 6:30. Her fever was up again, so once again I had to give her more tylenol. She's been up and down all day with her fever, and she's been quite the fuss bucket today. I can tell she still doesn't feel very well... my poor little baby girl!

Hopefully, she will feel better tommorow. This is the worst she has been ever from getting shots. It's hard enough leaving her at daycare, so I'm hoping she will get back to her old self by Monday! *sigh*

6 Month Check-up

She's 6 and a half months old already! Where has the time gone already? She is seriously growing way too fast. She had her 6 month check-up today, and she's doing great. She now weighs 14 lbs 14 oz, and she is 25 3/4 inches long. She's not a fat baby at all, just those cute little chubby cheeks she's had since she was born!

The only thing different about today's appointment was being told that Savannah has a heart murmer. I was told not to worry about it (YEAH RIGHT!..impossible!), and that it was very very mild at this point. The doctor told us that on a severity scale from 1-6, she is at a 1 right now, meaning we will just monitor it at future check-ups. If the murmer changes (gets louder, stronger..according to the dr.), then that is another story that will require some tests! The doctor said that it could just go away, and that is what I am hoping and praying will happen. I will update after her next check-up. Her next appointment will be in 3 months.. she will be ....GASP... 9 MONTHS!!

Everybody keeps asking me what all she can do now at 6.5 months! Lets see... she can roll over both ways, she swims on her belly and scoots around some ( she's trying to crawl), and the newest milestone.... drumroll.... she is trying to SAY MAMA! I thought I might have been imagining it, but she did it again last night. Matt heard her, and agreed that she was trying to say it already! I don't consider this her first word yet, because it's still not consistent or completely clear, but I honestly don't think it will be much longer! Tee-hee, I love it! I know there is more she can do, but I will leave it at that for now.

However, I must mention that Savannah has the cutest belly laugh I have ever heard in my life. It amazes me the things that can make her laugh, such as a wind-sock or a piece of paper that is being shook in front of her. My favorite thing is when I laugh, she laughs with me!

Tonight is probably going to be a harder night for my little all night sleeper. She has slept a lot more today since she's gotten her shots, and I am afraid that will either cause her to wake up during the night or really early in the morning! Things might go better than I am anticipating, but only time will tell. She was running fever earlier from the shots, and she is sleeping in her daddy's arms now!

Thumb Sucker!

Oh my goodness! I have a thumb sucker on my hands.

She's never cared for her thumbs, but she's always loved chewing her whole fist. I was really shocked when all of a sudden today she started sucking her thumb.

My dad rode with me today to take Savannah to the doctor because for what ended up being a bad cold. On the way, I noticed Savannah had her fist in her mouth again or so I thought. I looked closer, and she was SUCKING HER THUMB!! It was so cute, I actually hollered "oh my goodness!"

She is so cute sucking her thumb. I can't believe it took her this long to find it. I don't think it was the issue of finding it. I just don't think she was interested in her thumb until now! Then again, who knows!

I love my little princess, but she's growing way too fast! :)
