Off to Stroll!

Growth spurt....almost time for a new carseat!

9 months old!!!

Savannah turns 9 months old this week (tomorrow to be exact)! Her hair is growing like crazy (currently looks like an afro) and she is starting to pull herself up to a standing position. She hasn't begun crawling yet but she loves to use the couch and table to help herself walk. Savannah is cutting three teeth all at the same time and is now trying to fight off another ear infection. This girl is a trooper! Even though she hasn't been feeling so great, she hasn't slowed down a bit. As you can see from her pics, the baby girl loves her new toy from Grandmama and Granddaddy. Savannah enjoys getting the most out of ALL of her limbs (playing the piano with her feet and hands). Gregg and I decided to switch her to a new daycare starting on Oct. 18th. It's closer to our house and brand new to the area. The new center is more stimulating for her advancing mind/body and it's something that Savannah can grow into as she ages (Childrens Learning Adventure...check out the website if you are interested). Savannah goes for her 9 month well visit in a few weeks. As of last week, she weighed 19.5 lbs. That's my growing girl!!!

Pool time and trying to walk!

Savannah and I headed back to the pool today. This time we brought Grammie's float with us. She LOVED it, Grammie! Savannah appears to be a fish just like her mommy and grandmama. She continues to show little interest in crawling but she loves when her daddy and I assist her with walking. Savannah has some strong leg muscles! This evening, Savannah will attend her first Italian festival. I'm sure she will enjoy looking at all of the sites, carnival acts and entertaining Vegans (no, not the non-meat eaters, the people who live in Vegas...ha!). I will try to post pics of the festival later. Adios for now!

8 months old!

Savannah turns 8 months this week! Oh my how time flies! She is babbling all sorts of words that mostly make sense in her world. We do enjoy when she says "da da" and "ba ba". Savannah only seems to say "ma ma" when she is upset or lonely. Go figure! She doesn't appear that interested in crawling anymore. But, oh does she want to walk. I wouldn't be surprised if she skips crawling and starts walking within the next few months. Savannah had her first experience in the swimming pool last week and LOVED it! Unfortunately, we couldn't make it back to the pool this week with daddy and a camera since Savannah has a cold. Maybe next week, we can head back to the pool. It's so hard to believe how fast she is growing. Her next well visit will be in September. So, I'll update her growth stats at that time. As you can see from the pics, she seems to enjoy the box Grammie sent her just as much (or maybe even more) than the items that were in the box. Savannah loves taking objects in and out of the box. Gotta love cheap and simple toys for playtime! More fun times to come! Enjoy the pics!
