It's a Railey great life!: Saudi, Sunshine, Swimming, and Life Lately

Savannah and I have been back in Saudi for almost two weeks, and it has been crazy busy! I feel like I am finally just now getting caught back up with life after being gone for a month. We had such a wonderful visit with everyone in the States, but it has been wonderful to be reunited with Brent. I'm so glad our little family is back together again!

Our trip home was thankfully uneventful- no sickness this time. Savannah was awesome! Apart from crying for about fifteen minutes, because I accidentally woke her up while we were boarding our first flight, she didn't fuss at all the entire trip. I'm so thankful for such a good little traveler!

Speaking of little Miss, here's the news on her.....
Savannah's eye is continuing to heal beautifully. All of her external stitches have fallen out, and her scar is nice and pink. Praise God for his healing touch!

Savannah has her own "crawling" style and she's getting around pretty well. She looks like a swimmer doing the butterfly stroke with her arms and kicking with one leg in the back. It's pretty humorous! Put a piece of food or an electronic device in front of her and she is off! She's also trying to pull up on things, can stand while holding onto something, and will walk with support. It's so much fun to watch her because she wants to get into everything, but she also wants you to be right there with her.

She also loves bouncing! Some sweet friends of ours loaned us their jump-a-roo, and let me tell you, she has gone to town in that thing! We have the best time watching her jump and giggle!

Dinner time has gotten more colorful since she has decided that it is funny to throw everything off of the highchair. Even I have to admit it's funny, but only the first or second time. :) Overall, our little sweet pea is doing amazingly well and discovering new things every day! We are so blessed to watch her grow!

This weekend we took Savannah to the pool for the second time in her life. Our first visit was back in October and was just mediocre since she was still hurting from her reflux, but this visit was AWESOME! She had so much fun- especially when she splashed! We had such a great time enjoying the lovely weather with our girl!

Our cruise is coming up at the end of May, so I am furiously trying to research and read about the ports we will be visiting. We can't wait for a vacation-vacation!

That's the exciting news for now, but for the most part we are just enjoying everyday life. :)
