The Ryan's: Sleepy Girl No More!

Well, it's been a few weeks since I've had a chance to sit down to import some photos but today is the day I get caught up! As you'll see from the photos, Savannah is growing SOO much by the day. Her little personality is starting to really shine as she begins to really interact with us by coos and smiles. I've been having fun talking to her and then getting the biggest smile. Our once sleepy girl is now growing up! For the first 5 weeks she was sleeping near 20 hours a day...this was nice as it gave me a chance to recover from the surgery but she's now 9 1/2 weeks old and only sleeps for 1-2 hours in between each feeding. The other good news is she's still a fantastic little sleeper at night giving us between 7-9 hours of rest at a time. She'll go down about 8:00 and sleep to somewhere between 3-5. She'll then go back down to sleep for another 3 hours until I wake her up to get on schedule for the day. I'd say we're pretty lucky to have such a sweet and easy going little lady! Alright, that's probably enough chit-chat...here are some catch-up photos from the last few weeks.

5 Weeks: Still a pretty sleepy girl but is growing a ton! This is the look of someone about to fall asleep in about 2 minutes.

6 Weeks: She's getting better at holding her head up! This was also the week of her first major cold...poor thing was all congested and had the little cough to go with it. She had 1 bad day and then she started working it out. We still have a lingering cough as of today but her little lungs are slowly healing.

7 Weeks: ...And que the smiles of pure joy instead of gas! I started using the play mat and bouncer much more as of this week. She is great about entertaining herself on these and gives me a chance to get some things done around the house while she's awake!
