September 15, 2006

Well wish me luck Tuesday Sept 19th Savannah and I leave for England for a 10 day visit with my parents and family. I have decided to take the midnight flight, lets hope she sleeps. I then have a two hour drive and a five hour time difference. I decided to book a seat on the outbound in the bulk head with a bassinet, not sure if this will work or not. Savannah is growing at her own pace,and trying to say something new everyday. Her favorite word is NO. She loves to hide from me, and I mean hide. With her being a tiny tot, she can fit anywhere. She goes behind the plant in the hallway, behind the dining room chairs, sneaks behind the bathroom door. Then I have to find her and this is when she thinks its fun. She is now into Barney Videos, I must have seen the same one over 50 times no joking. She went to see her brothers football game yesterday, some cheerleader she is. Saturday its the Chinese Lantern Festival, we are looking forward to seeing people from our group. Last weekend was awful, Savannah had not only a double ear infection but strep throat and cankers in her mouth. She will finish her medication by Tuesday next week, but I must tell you its not nice especially in babies. She could not swallow her juice, milk or eat much at all. She also had yes another fever. Up to now she has had 3 ear infections since May. Her new words are ball, cat and mine. Well at least this trip will get her ready for another one back to England at xmas time, I know for sure her brothers will miss her lots. Daddy is traveling a lot himself the next week after just getting back from Newfoundland tonight. I promise photos soon.
