Its time for a Birthday Party!
Okay, I know it has been longer than a week since my last post, in fact, its been much too long for some of you I have been told! There are many things that I have to tell you about in this post so I will get right too it!
First, since our last post the sickness that passed through Savannah then Ann Marie passed on to me and really hit me hard! According to one physician, I was about 24 hours away from an emergency room visit before Ann Marie finally threatened me with physical pain if I did not go to the doctor! After a couple of weeks of suffering, a few missed days of work and more drugs than a San Francisco Giants outfielder (sorry Barry Bonds fans!), I am happy to say that I am doing very well now and back to spending quality time with my two favorite girls!
Savannah has been progressing remarkably in the past few weeks. Vocally she is making so many new sounds and becoming a real copy cat so speaking is not too far away! Now Ann Marie and I have to watch everything we say! She has also improved in the cruising department! Ann Marie in fact has developed a slight curvature of the spine due to the constant laps she is making around the house holding up the two foot tall sprinter (just kidding!). The food arena is changing as well! After a few weeks of Stage 2 food upon return from China, we are now using Stage 3 foods as well as some adult foods cut into small pieces. We made the correlation that she was ready for more solid food when Savannah ate my whole bowl of Italian Wedding Soup at dinner one night! She amazes us every day with her experimentation and cannot wait to see what comes next!
We have made many trips to visit co-workers and family in the weeks since our return and Savannah has adapted very well! She has really taken to her Grandmother, which is a welcome relief since Ann's mom will be our primary form of daycare for the first part of "Little Miss Magic's" life. Savannah has also turned out to be quite the musician! She has already displayed a fondness for my drum set and rocks constantly to the radio. Yes, this is definitely my child!
Yesterday was Savannah's first birthday and today is one year from the day she was found at the hospital in China. We celebrated last night with family and friends and had a grand time with both Chloe and Savannah providing the entertainment! Chloe is really motoring around now and inspired Savannah to pick up her own pace in the walking department! We have spent the entire morning watching a little red fire truck walker make the rounds in the kitchen and family room!
Well, its lunchtime here at the Kennedy Estate and there is now another mouth to feed so I am going to sign off. Thanks for hanging in there with me during the posting drought, and I promise not to make it such a long wait from now on. Till then....Mike "Does she ever slow down" Kennedy
Ann Marie "Will I ever go back to work" Kennedy
& Savannah "Will you please stop typing and feed me" Kennedy
P.S. Go Canes! Our Carolina Hurricanes defeated the New Jersey Devils 6-0 in the opening game of their second round series for the Stanley Cup. What a birthday present for Savannah!
Ready to Mow!
She did a good job!
