Savannah had her two month check-up yesterday and she is doing great. She weighs 12 pounds (23" long, head 40cm)!!!! Despite being a big spitter, she is clearly having no problem in the growing department. All of the other normal milestones for reflexes and such check out great. The doc thought she was very strong and as if that wasn't enough Savannah decided to roll over on the table for the first time. I was still in disbelief when I got home that I had to see it again for myself. Sure enough when I put her on her belly she rolled over in no time. Not to shabby considering she was a bit early! Thankfully her color looked so good that the doctor didn't need us to have another blood test...the last bilirubin number was 7 so she initially wanted to make sure it continued to go down.
Maya is a terrific big sister! She is having another language explosion! It is so fun to hear her sing songs and chat away. My hard just melts when she says, "I love you" or "nice to see you." I couldn't help but laugh when she picked up on me calling her Daddy "Dan" and decided to say "Hi, Dan" when she saw him next! She has also been potty training herself for the past two months ...we are so proud of her...though it can be frustrating when trying to get her to sleep and she needs to get up a couple of times to go again.
Dan and I certainly feel so lucky to have two wonderful girls as the new year approaches. We have a lot to be thankful for!
Two months tomorrow!
Savannah has been smiling and laughing more and more. Caught her in her bouncy c chair doing this tonight while I made dinner!
Gap model?
Okay so I think she is pretty darn cute, but yes I am biased. I couldn't help but snap a dozen pics in her new outfit for her birthday from Uncle Joe and Sam.
Apple picks!
Apple picks! I couldn't help but laugh when Maya told me she was washing her "apple picks" aka armpits in the tub last night.
Also humerous was her shouting, "bracheasaurus" in her sleep that same night!

Savannah Smiles - 11/9/2010
Savannah smiled her first "real" smile today in response to my talking verses those adorable smiles. Now I have to get it on film.
Halloween 2010
Maya loved Halloween! She "got it" more than I imagined she would. She loved being a bumblebee and "flying around." We all went out to the neighborhood and collected treats. Savannah was snug as a bug on me in a carrier while Maya ran from house to house....after we coaxed her out of the yard. For once she was more intersted in playing with her outdoor toys rather than going into the neighbors' houses. She liked getting treats in her pumpkin bag and quickly had at them when we got home. She said, "my treats, my treats" and then tried to eat a lollipop with the wrapping on. She got a few licks for her first candy experience and the rest went in to hiding (aka mommy's belly). I am sure it will be harder next year to keep her candy free.
