On the other side of things, she's not loving butternut squash and banana and avocado are hit or miss. For the first two weeks we fed her solids at dinnertime then added food at lunch and another two weeks later we added breakfast too. She's still taking in the same amount of milk in addition to all this food!
Learning to eat is messy!
Savannah's seventh month also coincided with Mom's first trip away from Savannah. I was honored to be a bridesmaid in my friend Kim's beautiful wedding in Arkansas. We had debated taking Savannah but decided the quick trip south would be a bit much for everyone so the hubs stayed home with Savannah and single-parented like a champ!!! I missed my baby (and Ray too) but I made sure to check-in several times a day by text or phone and even got to Facetime with my little monkey a couple times. It was definitely hard being away but thankfully I was busy with lots of wedding related activities which helped keep my mind off how much I was missing my little girl. I was beyond happy to be reunited with my little family on Sunday and think overall it was a good first trip away for all of us.
First swing ride October 25th
We took a road-trip to Ohio last month (minus Brownie who stayed with Grammie and Grandan) to visit Ray's buddies from high school as well as their wives and kids. It was a lot of driving but Savannah did really well in the car and we had a great time at the Byers' Buckeye Bash!
Savannah's first sick day
Savannah got sick for the first time this month on Halloween of all days! We woke up to get her ready for her Halloween parade at school and noticed she felt warm. A temperature check told us she had a 102 degree fever which meant our little owl would miss her parade! Day 1 wasn't bad. We treated the fever with some baby pain reliever and aside from being less hungry and a little less energetic she was pretty much herself. Day 2 on the other hand...the cold came on full force! Our baby was all congested and had a really difficult time sleeping. We ran the humidifier, used saline drops and suctioned out her nose but it wasn't providing much relief. The only time Savannah would sleep was if she was being held. The second we'd go to lay her in her crib she'd wake up crying. Safe to say no one slept well that weekend. By Tuesday she was feeling and sleeping much better though. The hubs and I agreed seeing your baby sick is horrible. We are hoping we can keep her as healthy as possible this winter!
Dressed up in her Halloween costume at Friendsgiving
Finally, we have a tooth!! Savannah was chomping away on Grandan's finger during a visit on November 8th when he felt something sharp. Sure enough, baby girl had her first tooth poking through on the bottom. That night she woke up 4 times -- I think because she was in pain from the tooth -- so we gave her some pain reliever and she slept till her normal wake-up around 6am. A few days later we noticed the other front bottom tooth poking through as well. We haven't been able to get a good picture of her little chompers yet but hopefully soon!
