Savannah sick again

Yesterday morning Savannah started to have projectile vomiting. I didn't start to worry until it was after every time I fed her and then at lunch it was really bad. She was sitting (in the laying position) in her stroller and it actually came out on the floor and on me, I picked her up and it continued. We had to have someone come and clean the floor. (I had taken Austin to play with friends, not knowing she was really sick). So no biggy right?? I thought I should call the doctor because of it was projectile, so I am talking to the nurse and she says it ok as long as she isn't dehydrated give her a bland diet. I said what do you consider a bland diet for a 5.5 month old, reply give her toast. Are you serious!! Maybe I am to paranoid but I said she just got her first teeth, she is on pureed food and give her toast. Then the conversation turns to how I should feed my baby and if this was my first baby. I am annoyed, my reply was they don't even recommend you start feeding solids to babies until they are 6 months old. This sealed the deal called a new doctors office in a different town and even though I will have to drive a little to take them to the doctors it is worth it to me. At her next doctors apt we will be seeing a new doctor.

Grow a frog


you can see it if you look hard in the back left corner



The frog that Beam and Poppy got Austin for Christmas came today!! He is so excited, he just doesn't understand "grow". We gave the tadepole food and Austin got up set because he didn't grow in front of his eyes. This will be interesting. He is afraid to walk away from it, at quiet time he told me I had to watch it and make sure he didn't get away. He has also named it "jump", because frogs jump he says. I tried to take pictures of it which was pretty hard because it is see through.

Savannah's new bumpers

playing in her room as I install the rail bumpers
Not as versatile as the ones on line but still cute

Savannah's sleeping has gotten much better. She goes down between 7-730 and stays down until 430-5 then I feed her, back to bed until between 730-8. This all goes well as long as she doesn't get a limb stuck between the rails. If she gets stuck between the rails then she starts screaming and banging her head against the rails. Then it is not so easy to get her back to sleep.
Because of the recommendation of "no bumpers in the crib" we were not so sure of what to do. I found these individual bumper rails on line but talk about expensive!! for a pack of 24 it was $100 and I have 36 rails. Now don't get me wrong I think they are worth the money especially after I started to make my own. The ones on line have zippers and are reversible and it does take a lot of fabric. But I still didn't want to spend all of that money, So I came up with my own. I have about 3 rails left in the back but for the most part they are done and she has not gotten any limbs stuck yet which is preventing her from waking up banging her head trying to get loose.

Savannah the monster



Savannah Has really started talking in the last week but she usually does this deep voice that I call her "monster voice". Its really kinda funny when she starts and keeps going.

She also has another tooth right next to the first one that came in last weekend. You can see the white but it hasn't popped through yet.

1st tooth

This morning Savannah was pretty fussy (morning is usually her best time). I have been putting my fingers in her mouth to check for teeth all this week because she has really been chewing on her hands lately instead of sucking. Sure enough there was a tooth in there this morning! She is getting so BIG!

Slinky action zone




Austin getting ready for a kiss!!
Yesterday I took Austin to Slinky Action Zone with a friend of mine that has moved to the area from Downingtown (I am so excited). We were there for over 3hrs and the kids played the entire time, not even sitting down for a drink or bite to eat. They were all so tired. Austin asked to go home and have quiet time. And then when it was time for bed, he went right into the bathroom and was waiting for me on his stool to brush his teeth. I think we will have to go back again. Not to mention that he didn't get up until 9am today.

Austin and his dog blanket

asking if he could take it out yet, why is it wet?
after I told him it had to stay in until it beeped
Austin has gotten really attached to his dogie blanket lately so much so that he wants to take it every place we go. He use to want it only when he went to bed. But now that he is trying to take everywhere it is getting pretty dirty quick. Last night I made the decision it was going to get washed today. We use to be able to take it for the wash and he wouldn't even know or care that it might not be don right away. But as you can see buy the pictures that is not the case anymore.
