We recently had to get some new shoes for Savannah. Her physical therapist said she needed shoes that would support her ankles, and we needed good, sturdy soles for walking. We had a really hard time finding shoes – Savannah is a size 3, which is normally the size for 6-12month olds, who don’t usually need walking shoes.

When I look at pictures from even a few months ago, I see such a difference. The biggest evidence of time is the length of her hair. It’s getting so long!

But, right now my days are consumed with thinking about everything related to Baby. I honestly am…

I always thought Savannah was just ticklish, but now I realize that she isn’t laughing when she pulls her feet away, like she does when you tickle her neck. * She has low muscle tone, which is part of her body type.
