First Fathers Day/First Pool Day

We had a great Fathers Day over at my in-laws.  Burgers & hot dogs on the grill and a little pool time, which was fun since it was Savannah's first time.  I think at first she was a little unsure but then she really started to enjoy it.  We stayed in with her for a good 20-25 minutes and she was perfectly content the whole time.   Looks like we've found our summer hang out! She was so good the entire day, from the moment Shane and I walked in her room this morning and were greeted with precious smiles, to finally falling asleep with her papaw late this afternoon.

Happy Fathers Day Babe!!

Savannah's First Trip to Sarasota!

Yesterday Savannah and I drove to Sarasota to surprise my mom at work.  She owns a liquor store and I've only been there a handful of times in the past 5-6 years.  It's just always been easier for her to come down here and either stay with my sister or Shane and I.  But it was nice to take a drive up there this time.  This was Savannah's longest trip yet; she did really well. Although 5 minutes after we left the house she made me a lovely present and I had to pull over at the nearest gas station to change her.   Of course that gas station didn't have a changing table in the restroom so I had to change her in the back seat.  That's always fun.
Then we were on our way.....she made it to Port Charlotte before she started fussing, but that was my fault because I pulled over at a McDonald's and she woke up when the car stopped.  (She'd be happy if the car never stopped)  SO I was back on I-75, doing good, she was sleeping and I was about to have my own personal jam session- boy have I missed those.  There's nothing like getting in your car and blaring your favorite songs.  Although there was NO blaring going on, I learned very quickly that my jam sessions are forever changed.  Listening to Britney Spears at a sensible baby friendly volume just isn't the same. I mean, c'mon.  So we made it to North Port (a good 10 minutes away) and she really started crying, so I got off at the next exit thinking I would just pull over and feed her.  But as soon as I made it all the way back to 41, she fell back asleep.  *Sigh* I just drove 15 minutes to get to 41, I didn't want to turn right back around to get back on 75.  So I decided I would take the scenic route.  It's been a long time since Ive driven through N. Port and Venice, boy has it changed!  However, my back seat driven didn't care for the scenic route at all, with every red light she would wake up and cry.            *Sigh again* Do I drive back to 75?  Or just keep going on 41?   I decided to take 41.  So we finally made it to my moms store, only took us about 2 hours!! Jeesh, double the time it should take.  Oh well, we made it and I loved surprising my mom.  We had lunch at Chili's and she got to visit with Savannah, we had a good time.  Savannah slept the entire way back.

Here's some pictures...

Surprise!!!

Great seeing you Gam!

2 Months Old!

So I took these pictures early, she's technically not two months old until Thursday .... (I got my days all mixed up..oops)

Anyhow,  I just couldn't wait to share these adorable pictures I got this morning.  She has been so happy and content the past few days.  Maybe it was the formula and it needed a little while to really start working.  What a difference! We love seeing her so happy, and these pictures were taken as she was waiting for her morning bottle- that wouldn't of happened 2 weeks ago.

So Shane and I are thrilled that we have a happy and healthy (almost) 2 month old on our hands.

She's Amazing and we love her more and more every day!

She was just smiling away this morning!

Just look at her! My favorite picture so far!

Look at my big girl!

MIA & Storing Breast Milk Idea

My mind has been spinning with different videos that I want to do (including my Savannah updates) but really haven't had a chance.  I think we are unfortunately dealing with a colicky baby; which for anyone who has dealt with this before knows that there is no extra time to do anything.  Except to maybe go outside and scream your head off.  BUT I will explain all that soon...

Anyway, I've wanted to talk about this website/Blog that I've been following for years.  It's great and I've always been able to relate to the wonderful woman behind it.  BUT again, I'll go into more details about her later.  For now, let me just post this video I pulled from Roni's blog on storing breast milk. I watched this years ago when she originally posted it and thought "what a great idea" unfortunately I never got a chance to put it to use but I thought if there are any breast feeding moms who read my blog, maybe they could...

Rolling Over & Smiles

Savannah started smiling last week and we've been trying to get pictures or video of this monumental moment and have not been successful. Last night she was so happy playing on her jungle gym mat that not only did we get a little smile but she also rolled over! The first time she did it we didn't have the camera going but grabbed it for the second one.

Please excuse the grainy video and the movie noise in the background.



Just Us and Our Girl...

Going out for my birthday dinner
