9 month checkup and other things

9 month checkup and other things

I’m exhausted right now. We went to the zoo today (well, technically yesterday!) and though we had fun we wore ourselves out! We were at the zoo last week too, and this week I think Savannah noticed the animals a lot more! She got really hot, though. Note to self: put her in a lightweight ONESIE for the zoo! :-) She seems to be doing fine. Every time she’s fussy I get really nervous and paranoid, but fortunately we haven’t…

word of the day: intussusception

word of the day: intussusception

Yesterday, Savannah was really fussy all day. I thought it was teething – I can see her second tooth coming in – but when she refused to nurse or eat, I got concerned.

tummy time

Savannah hates being on her tummy. This doesn’t make sense to me, because I can’t sleep unless I’m on my tummy. :-) She’s also incredibly content, and will sit forever entertaining herself if you left her. However, she’s now almost 10 months old and doesn’t really move or scootch around at all like other babies her age. I really try not to compare, but whenever my friends talk about their kids crawling around – especially kids younger than Savannah! –…
