Other things that happened in May.

Wrapping up the month of May.

• Health: SB is officially 5 months old. She goes to her 5 month appointment next week. She got thrush a week and a half ago and she is on medicine. It has not stopped the thrush yet. But since we go in next week, I will talk with the doctor more next week.
  
• Travel: SB went on her first air plane ride to Kansas City, Missouri this month. Her aunt Sarah Joles graduated from college. Jess promised 4 years ago that we would be there, and we were there. Savannah slept for both take offs! She slept the entire plane ride home. The drive from Kansas City to her graduation was 2 1/2 hours and she slept to and from Kansas City on the car ride! She is a great little traveler. Why do I even worry!
  
• Fun things: Savannah had her first trip to the zoo. I think she was more interested in looking at the trees and sky then the wild animals. And I suppose after all, she does have a dog that appears larger than some of those animals. And Wrigley is much more entertaining than those sleepy animals in cages. (I am still working off the "baby fat" please ignore my photo. Wow! )
• Learning new things: SB learned how to take her sock off. Great! The chasing of the socks games begin. She doesn't really wear shoes right now. So we have some time there. SB did get some new shoes while in Missouri, thanks to Aunt Sarah's employee discount. I will post a picture of her new Nike's next month. She won't be able to fit into them until she is about 1. Just in time for walking!

Thanks for all your comments! We love to know you are checking in on us!

Watching Wrigley....let us know you stopped by & leave a comment

SB loves watching Wrigley. And Wrigley is becoming more interested in SB too. Wrigley is so very gentle with SB! It is great! Once SB gets up and moving around, I know they will be inseparable!

BIG First's this week!!

SB Mcgee had many firsts this week! She went on her first flight. From Chicago to Kansas City. Her Aunt Sarah graduated from college and she did excellent! She was asleep for both take offs and slept all through the flight home. Once we were there, we had a 2 1/2 hour drive to the graduation Saturday morning and a 2 1/2 hour drive back to Grandpa & Grandma Joles house Saturday. She slept down and back! She was a charmer at the graduation smiling at everyone! She was a great little traveler! And made mama & daddy so happy!

Another Big First this week..... SB rolled over from back to stomach on Monday after a nap. I found her in her crib on her stomach. She was calling for me and I took her picture when I found her.

The first picture is of Savannah in her new sun hat. Doctor prescribed. It is a little large, but so darn cute! The third photo was her after her bath, I could not resist having Jess take her picture. I am trying to capture every moment possible. She is growing up so fast!

My mothers day & 4 month stats

The 4 of us (Jess, Savannah, Wrigley and I) went down to Bloomington for the weekend to spend with friends. This morning after breakfast Jess took Wrigley for a walk before church on the Country Insurance Corporate grounds and Wrigley decided to go for a quick swim. Jess said she had a ball! She came back however soaking wet and smelling like pond water. So we could not leave our wet pup at our friends house, she spent the morning in our car making it smell like pond water. I am glad she had a ball.

SB started on rice cereal. She started a couple weeks ago rising earlier to eat, so the doctor suggested trying rice cereal 2 times a day to see if that helps her hunger. Many of you would say, she is big enough!

Here are her stats:

4 months

Weight: 14 lbs 5 oz 75%

Height: 27 inches 110%

It was a great mothers day! SB makes my job as a mom so great! I hope you all enjoyed your Mothers day with your families!

Church & SB

Going to church on Sunday is almost like playing dress up with Savannah! She has a few dresses, and they are just adorable! It is so fun dressing her up!

She has been alert for quite sometime, but recently she kicked it up a notch. It is almost impossible to sneak up on her if she is awake just to check on her. She sees everything and hears everything! She has also gotten a lot better using her hands. I need to make sure my hair is pulled back, forget necklaces, and if I am holding on to something it cannot be to close to her reach (my coffee-decaf, dinner plate while nursing, books). She has also gotten very curious. She will stop eating just to see what I am doing, the dog is doing, or what is going on around her. We are going in Thursday for her next doctor appointment... I will let you know how well she is growing.
