Cardiologist

7 months, 2 days
Sleep: ok
We went to the cardiologist, Dr. Penn Laird, today. He said Savannah definetly has a heart murmur, but he is 98% that it is not a major or minor problem, but more likely extra vibrations of the heart tissue. That was excellent news. He did an EKG and an echocardiogram. He had a hard time with the latter because she was grumpy. However, he ended up getting a good picture of her heart. Anyhow, now all we've got to do is call the surgeon and schedule her an appointment with him.Yesterday Savannah took her diaper off by herself. She was sitting on the bed in our bedroom, and I looked over at her. She was playing with the little strap on her diaper, but I thought nothing of it. I looked over a minute later, and she was sitting there smiling with her diaper wide open (and it was dirty too). Needless to say, I was shocked. So lesson learned, we are now keeping shorts or pants on her. She surprises us all the time with the things she figures out how to do.She's still not crawling very well. She'll scoot around our bed a lot. We got a bed rail for our bed so she won't fall off, and she likes to scoot to it and scratch it and look at us through it. No teeth yet. But the little nubs under her gums are much bigger and closer, so any day now I think! And she tries to chew on EVERYTHING!! She's eating solids (fruits and veggies and cereal) at least two times everyday. She gets mad when I don't shovel food in her mouth fast enough. In fact, today she grabbed the baby food jar and stuck her hand in it. And then when I was feeding her, she kept trying to grab it. Oh, that reminds me. Today at the cardiologist they measured and weighed her. She was 26 1/2" long and 14.1 lbs. So she's grown a little since her pediatric appointment. And my arms can tell! Yay! Asleep at last. Well, I will write more later. Hopefully, I can get back to updating more often like I was. Bye for now.
