Since she learned to sit up, one of her favorite activities is just to sit and play with toys. She has learned how to use her hands very well and seems to be drawn to the toys that sit across the blanket from her. So, now, we wait for her to take flight. She sits perched on her blanket and play mats with a mission. We watch her as she tries to figure out how to get that toy that is lying farthest from her. So, its only a matter of time before our house needs to be full on child proofed!

How did half a year fly by?

In the last three months I have watched this perfect angel grow and smile and laugh and coo. I have been so fascinated with her progress that I have not had the time and desire to write, all I do is talk to Savannah and stare at her. I thought I did owe it to myself and those of you who read this her birth story, even if just a 'Readers Digest' version, and an update of how life has been since.
With each passing Monday, she grows a week older. During week 6 we started seeing lots of smiles! ( Although, her first smile came to us around four weeks old). She is cheerful and happy in the mornings, after she is done sleeping in of course.This morning, she was cooing and smiling! She is happiest when we talk to her and smile at her, things I certainly miss experiencing all day now that I am back at work.
Savannah Banana
Savannah continues to amaze us. Just today she was sitting in her little chair by herself and began squealing and laughing. She is happy and that's something that Rick and I feel extremely blessed about. We have heard horror stories about early parenthood, but I guess we dodge a bullet on that. She has only four cries... Hungry, tired, wet/poopy, and if she has gas. She only melts down when she is way past tired. We are also blessed to get between 5 and 7 hours straight of sleep a night. It seems Savannah enjoys her sleep as much as we do. I am sure she will make up for this later on in life as a teenager trying to sneak in after missing her curfew. Until that time though, we will continue to kiss her little cheeks as she sleeps soundly and appreciate our little blessing who gives these new parents more sleep than we expected... I am going to go ahead and knock on wood now.

35 Weeks- the count down is on!
Yesterday, we were delighted with another ultrasound! It is truly amazing to see how our little one has grown! She weighs around 5 pounds 3 ounces.
Savannah is also a huge fan of eavesdropping and sucking her thumb/fingers! When we were viewing the ultrasound yesterday, the tech could see her little eyebrows moving and her facial expressions changing as we all were talking! It is hard to make out, but none-the-less, she is my daughter, so, she will have to be "in the know" at all times!! ( Sorry baby girl- its genetics!)
Take a look at the ultrasound! It is three minutes long and makes both Rick and I bored with technology and long to meet our gorgeous baby girl!
Approaching D-DAY
We think she has my nose and lips! In the top picture she looks very Hage/Franken though... So, I am not sure what to expect... Just that she is going to be the most gorgeous baby alive !!
Today, marks 35 weeks and two days.

Tickle Fight Anyone?
What I have noticed is a full on tickle fight.
Our baby first began tickling me on May 1st. It was late at night and a political debate was brewing after dinner.The noise level was starting to increase, and all of a sudden....blllliiiiiipppppp! Right across my lower abdomen. I was totally surprised by it too!
In the meantime, our bouncing little baby has enjoyed tickling me often.
Monday, little baby Hage decided that it truly liked cake. I figure this child will follow in the tradition of my family of cake lovers. After eating the cake, the little blip-blip-blips started.
It was great! A wonderful feeling, and unfortunately it made me want another piece of cake!
I felt it last night- to the point it made me giggle! I am not a ticklish person at all. In fact, it drives Rick nuts that I don't laugh out of control when someone takes a feather to my feet. This little blip-blip-blip... it tickles and its glorious!
