Well, this is the little one on her 3 month mark - I really should do cuter pictures, but for some reason I always forget. Silly me! She's a pretty big baby, but carries it well. She goes in for her four month check up next week, but last time I had her weighted (at a week or so before her 3 month mark) she was 13 pounds 3 ounces. So, I'm thinking she is at least 14 pounds, probably more and she is quite long too! She doesn't get that height from me! But because she is so big, we have gotten to start putting her in her Bumbo and her activity center, which she loves. She's got a really strong neck, and is keeping it steady about 90% of the time. It's getting better every day!
Two of her favorite things right now would have to be bath time and the song "I Want It That Way" (she is her mothers daughter....) She LOVES to splash in the bathtub and will stay in there as long as we let her! It's so cute and fun to see her so happy to just be in the water!! That means she will love going to the pool this summer - SCORE! As for the song choice, it's hilarious to me - I have no idea why (I did not listen to it when I was pregnant or anything) but she will be so mad and screaming and crying, and when I put that song on, she quiets right up! It has a 90% accuracy rate. It was an accidental discovery, but the more I test the theory, the more it seems to work! She's so funny!

Looking cute to meet Brandy for lunch :)
We also took her on her first cabin trip! We go up to this fantastic cabin a few times a year with a great group of friends and it's so much fun. A great relaxing weekend. The weather was great so we got to take a walk, go down to the river and hang out in the sun on the porch. I already can't wait to go back! Savannah did pretty dang well, and we discovered that she LOVES to be outside. If she's fussy, we can take her out and she quiets up. She loves the sun and the breeze, so her and Jacob napped together out there for a little while :) Heather got some cute pics of her while we were up there, so I thought I'd post them too! She's also got some good stories from the weekend, along with more pics on her blog!
Other than that, we have been busy, but nothing terribly exciting. I'm still learning so much every day about being a mom...I can see that the learning never will stop. Savannah is a fun little girl and we love having her in our lives! She can be stressful too - she is very determined to get what she wants and she has a bit of a temper, but then she starts smiling and it makes the stress melt away. I know that she will be happier when she's a little bigger and can actually play and do things, but until then we will keep on figuring it out as we go!

what a cutie!!
I love that she is a Backstreet fan! Haha. It's true, you never stop learning and I am still every day trying to figure this whole parenting thing out. It's quite an adventure full of ups and downs, but like you said, the sweet moments make it so worth everything. You are such a good mom, Ash :)
You are an awesome mama!!! Savannah is such a cutie-pie and it is so apparent that she is so completely loved. It's so fun to watch her grow up!
My daughter has a temper, too :) Parenting has its ups and downs, but mostly it's the best thing I ever did (cliche much, I know). Savannah's a cutie.
Oh my goodness, that is so funny! Of course your daughter loves that song! :) She is so cute! I love the pic of you and her at the cabin. Beautiful girls!
Savannah is such a cutie. And it was so good to see you last week :)
