4 months, 1 week, 3 days...i think that's right
Sleep: don't go there
House: well, we're waiting to hear if we are approved for our loan or not. If so, great, we'll send the contract. If not, keep on looking.We got a puppy, an English mastiff to be exact. We named him Sampson. He's so cute and very well behaved. He likes to lick Savannah, and she thinks that he is the funniest thing in the world (besides her Exersaucer). Savannah scares me sometimes, because she gets so excited that she screams really loud, and sometimes I can't tell if she's mad or happy. Instead of playing with the bugs on her Exersaucer, I turn them and she looks at them, laughs, and screams. Savannah goes to the pediatrician tomorrow for her 4 month checkup. My friend, Lacy, is going with me, because Rick has to work. My poor baby has to get more shots in her little fat thighs. But we can't have her getting hepatitis B or meningitis or anything like that, no siree. Miss Savannah breaks my little heart every time I eat. She looks at my food and cries cause she wants some too. So we went out to eat at Golden Corral the other day, and Rick and I gave her some banana pudding, which she absolutely loved! Hopefully tomorrow the doctor will say that she's ready for cereal. Mmmk, gotta go, I think a mosquito is biting me.

The house on Courtney Lane
4 months, 3 days
Sleep: enough...most of the time, maybe
Saturday, Savannah turned 4 months old. We went to John and Rosanne's house that night and had dinner and played guitar and sang and visited with everyone. We had a wonderful time, and Savannah was excited to see some new surroundings, I'm sure. Before that, we had gone to breakfast with Mom at Mimi's Cafe. That's always good. Then Sunday, we got up and went to work up a contract on a house we looked at on Friday...get this, the house is on Courtney Lane! (my name). Hopefully, it will all work out. It's a foreclosure, and the bank that owns it right now, counter offered, but we should be able to do everything. It's right down the street, literally, and right by an elementary school. It's great. Then after that, we went to Toby and Brenda's house and hung out, and then we went to Dr. Aldrich's (Rick's ex-professor) retirement party. Rick and I sang while all the girls seemed to pass Savannah around. Savannah got grumpy after a while. Orajel helped a little, and Dr. Aldrich gave her a cracker to chew on....which Savannah ended up eating it. Anyway, we got home and went to bed and then yesterday was just a normal day. I like those normal days, they're nice. She rolled over some more today, and I got it on the video camera so that Rick can see, because she hasn't done it since that first time. She did it like 5 times today on the bed, because on her tummy she couldn't see her mobile. I clapped and told her what a good job she'd done, so that hopefully she'll do it again...positive reinforcement. Mom's excited because she's almost done with summer school, which means she'll only have to work 32 hours a week in July writing curriculum, so she'll have most of Thursday and all weekend off. Which translates to more getting to see Savannah. Hmm, can't think of much else to write. More later.

Rolled Over
3 months, 3 weeks (4 months in 5 days)
Sleep: enough, I guess
SAVANNAH ROLLED OVER TODAY!!! She rolled from her tummy to her back. I had her on our bed on her tummy, and she rolled over to me. Then I put her back on her tummy and she did it again. Then I thought, "hey, maybe it's just cause of the softness of the bed," so I moved her to the living room floor on her blanket, and she did it again! Yay! So thennn, I tried to record her doing it on the video camera, but she wouldn't do it. So I turned the camera off, and she did it. *sighs* Anyway, she'll be four months old on Saturday. I can't believe it. Then she'll be able to eat cereals and stuff and she'll get even bigger! She's already huge (at least to me and my little weak arms). She's been trying to talk even more. She says "hi" randomly and she'll have a conversation with me in her baby talk every time she eats. She'll just sit there and babble for like 5 minutes, and I know she wants me to understand what she's saying, because she'll say the same thing over and over again, and then if I don't get it, she'll say it even louder. Then she just gives up. Oh, and when she laughs, it's so cute, cause there's this little noise that goes with it. I just can't describe it. It's so funny though. I guess you have to be there. Anyway, that's my update. See ya'll later.

Granbury
3 months, 2 weeks
Sleep: Sleep...what's that?
Well, we just got back from Granbury, TX on Monday. We went there for Memorial Day weekend just to hang out and relax. We got there on Saturday afternoon and went to the square after checking in our hotel room. We went and ate at The Nutt House. Afterwards we went to the Opera House and saw a musical. Savannah decided she was hungry in the middle of the musical, and so she nursed for a while under her blankie. She was making all kinds of noise. You see, she likes to hum sometimes while she's eating, and she hummed and grunted the whole time. So everyone's up on stage singing and you hear these little "hmmm, hmm, arrggh, errrr, hmm"s through about the whole middle part of the musical. Thne she did a big poopie and you could hear that loud and clear too. Oh well....that's my girl. She is getting huge! My arms are definetly gonna have to get stronger. Anyway, back to the trip. So after the play and stuff, Rick and baby and I went fishing behind our room at the lodge on the boat dock. All I caught was grass. We fished probably till midnight, and all I caught was a measly piece of icky lake grass. So the next day, we tried again. Rick got snagged and pulled out a nasty green/brown plastic lawn chair. And me? More grass. Savannah just watched. She LOVED being outside. Monday we went to the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth. Savannah loved it. Rick got a frontwards baby carrier and walked around with her in that, and she slept for a good protion of the day. We went in the Japanese Gardens and fed the giant koi. Then we went to the Rose Gardens and took a ton of pictures. Anyhow, we had a wonderful time. Savannah did wonderfully on her first trip. Can you believe she's almost 4 months old??? AHHHH!!!
