Things I Want to Remember

I can't believe Savannah is now nearly three months old! The time has flown by and the harder I try to hold on to these precious moments with my baby the quicker they seem to pass. As things change and Savannah grows there are so many things I don't want to forget.

• The way her little body wraps perfectly around mine, her tiny toes brushing against my skin as I nurse her. 

• The perfect smile she makes while she sleeps.
• How she stares at us the whole time we give her a bath, unsure but trusting.
• Smiling at something only she can see (I always say she is just talking to Grandma Ivins).
• The way she used to stare at my temple nightlight while I would feed her during the night.
• How she never sleeps on her back and immediately turns on her side.
• Her toothless grin and laughter when she first wakes up.

• How she sometimes bobs her head when she's trying to eat.
• Realizing for the first time that an outfit that used to be too large is now too small.
• The way her eyes get big and she'll hold perfectly still when she fills her diaper, as if by not moving we won't be able to see (or hear) what she is doing.
• Falling asleep with her mouth still puckered for a binkie.

• Her fake cries when she knows we are near and just wants our attention.
• The bow of her legs when she was born and how her eyes would cross when trying to see objects far away.
• Sticking her tongue out when she's happy.
• Always having her hands around her face.

 

Oh, how we love this little girl the Lord has sent us!
