Another Appt

We had Savannah's one year checkup with her cleft clinic surgeon today. Her repair looks great and she didn't even bug us about Savannah's weight! Next step will be in a couple months when we start seeing the entire team in one afternoon. They said it will be a couple hours long but we will see all the doctors in one stop. It includes an ENT, orthodontist, plastic surgeon, and speech therapist to name a few. We were also told not to worry about the fact that she is still not talking. They said it was fine and that she will talk when she is ready. It definitely helped put my mind at ease.

Yesterday for the first time ever Savannah was able to suck water through a straw! We were eating out at a restaurant. They brought out a kid's meal water for her. Daddy let Savannah watch him take a drink and then she tried it and she did it!!! I was so shocked that I literally cried a few tears of joy! Then very shortly after she let it all drool out on to Daddy but it is a great start.

Her are some photos from our trip to the Zoo last week.

Happy Halloween!

Savannah had fun yesterday. She had no idea why she was dressed up, but she did like to pet her own costume! We visited both sets of Grandparents and her Aunt, Uncle and Cousin yesterday. Then we headed to a friend's house to watch a movie. All the excitement wore her out and she slept for the entire movie!

Here is our "little stinker" in her natural habitat!

Just doesn't taste as good as it looks!
