Two months...


Savannah turned two months old yesterday. She is growing like a little weed. She has discovered her hands and has been putting them in her mouth lots these days. I also think she has a little bit of colic. She cries and I can not soothe her. It's frustrating not knowing what is wrong with your baby. Everyone says just let her cry it out but it's harder when it's your own. I am hoping she gets better soon. I just keep telling myself that it's only temporary and she'll be all smiles soon...or so I hope. Doesn't she look so happy in that picture? I just love that baby!!! hehe. I love her with all my heart no matter what but when she smiles she just melts my heart.

Tummy time is going great. She is actually putting pressure on her elbows already. She loves her activity mat too. The mirror is her favorite part of course. She'll look at herself and just starts giggling and smiling away. It is so cute. She goes to the doctor on Wednesday and I can't wait to find out how much she weighs. She no longer fits into her newborn clothes. I hope she can wear her 0-3 month clothes for a bit because she has some cute stuff she has yet to wear.

Santa Fe Chicken Enchiladas...

I am one of the worse cooks ever. I try to make stuff but it just doesn't turn out that good. My husband is an amazing cook. He can just throw things together and it always tastes good. I never know what herbs go with what and what tastes good together. And since I don't eat meat it's even harder because I can never try the stuff I cook. When I was in Florida my sister made some chicken enchiladas with the new Philly Creme Cheese Santa Fe blended cooking creme. It was delicious so I decided to try making it tonight. I actually made a really good dish finally!!! I made some for me with my fake chicken and it was so yummy. It took me a while to make just because I had no idea what I was doing but if you ever want to try something new, I would give this recipe a shot.

Well the baby is fussing so I best get her. Let me know what you think if you give it a try!

Lots to blog about...

Savannah's umbilical cord stump fell off on March 5th and we were finally able to give her an actual bath so the next day we gave it a shot. She really liked it until she got too cold and her poor lips were quivering so then I had to hurry. She seems to like it for the most part. I've got it down now to where I don't need my lovely husband home to help me. It was hard at first.



Savannah and I went to Florida for a week in the middle of March with my parents while Pat stayed home. The baby did so amazing in the car. It was about a 16 hour drive. I was very happy and surprised. We had a really good time just getting away. We didn't do much so it was nice and relaxing. Ally and my step dad went putt putting one day. My mom and I watched and then Ally and I looked for gems in a bag of sand. It was like what you do when you mine for gold. We also went to the outlet mall and M&M World.

 One Month Old




Our god daughter turned 4 on March 20th. We went to the zoo and then had a little get together for cake and presents afterwards. She wanted a Little Mermaid party and of course Jenny's Bakery did an amazing job on the cake and it tasted as good as it looked. A bunch of us went in on a Power Wheels Escalade for Mia. She loved it!!!


 Her daddy tricked her and put her bike in the front so she thought that was her big present.

 Lets try that again...



We sure did have a busy month. Savannah is adjusting well to always being on the go...lol. She seems to enjoy getting out of the house. Pat has started a side business and has been busy working so Savannah and I have been going over to my parents a lot lately. I hope they don't get sick of us! hehe.
