Update... and Savannah pictures

Here's an update on the newest Valdes (who turned 4 weeks old on Saturday): Savannah is a wonderful, wonderful baby!! We thought we had gotten lucky with Scarlett (who was very easy) but so far Savannah is even better than she was. She does not fuss very much, only when she's hungry, and who can blame her for that? She nurses extremely well and doesn't mind when her big sister goes investigating her. But the most important question... how does she sleep? So far very, very well! I'm probably averaging 7-8 hrs a night total, which isn't bad for a newborn! If only Scarlett weren't such an early riser (6:30 AM is sleeping in for her) then I'd probably get around nine hours every night! Oh, I know this can all change in the blink of an eye, but I'm happy at where we are so far.
As for the big sister, Scarlett loves Savannah so much. We just got a new car and the two carseats ended up next to eachother. (I like having Savannah's car seat in the middle rather than on the side.) Scarlett always has to hold "Sissy's" hand when we're driving. And just now, she ran up to me with a very concerned expression and said, "Where baby?" because Savannah's sleeping in her baby seat and not in her swing where she usually sleeps. She definitely pushed the limits when we first came back from the hospital--- did lots of stuff she knows she's not supposed to do with a "what are you going to do about it?" look on her face. But that has pretty much faded, and now we're finally achieving a routine. Scarlett's still two-- there's no perfect child here, but she loves her sister and that's the most important thing!

She's so so precious and I need her picture for my piano.
