Savannah Erickson

Wow! I can't believe she's already 3 weeks old. These past 3 weeks have gone by faster than the last week of my pregnancy! Savannah was born on Sept 29th at 2:30 p.m. weighing in at 7 lb 4 oz and 20.5 inches long. She is such a great baby. I think they come to earth knowing what number order they are in, and she knows she's #4. She is so patient with me as I try to help the other 3, and she doesn't scream too hard while she's being mauled by the others. I think Ethan is the most in love of all of them. He goes to preschool 4 days a week and when he comes home he doesn't leave her side. He always asks "Mom, do you think she needs another kiss?" and when I tell him I think she'd love another kiss, he bends over and smothers her with kisses. Then in his high pitched baby voice he asks her, "How many kisses does one girl need?" I've had to enforce the timer, letting each kid hold her for 5 minutes and then we have to lay her in her crib for at least 1/2 hour, or until she cries whichever comes first.
