Nine Months

Savanna turned nine months old a couple of weeks ago and we are amazed at how quickly the time has gone by! Here are the stats from her check-up:

Weight: 24 pounds 2 ounces (100th percentile)

Height: 30.5 inches (100th percentile)

This little girl...isn't so little anymore! The doctor said she's your average size 16-month-old. Even though she's an "Amazon Woman" for her age (seriously, the doctor called her that) it's not holding her back!

Some of her most recent developments are:

*waving hello and goodbye

*clapping/giving high 5's

*making elephant noises (mostly just sputtering her lips, but it's super cute!)

*blowing kisses (she hasn't got the "MWAH!" part down yet, she mostly just smacks herself in the mouth...it's a work in progress)

*she pulls the funniest faces when I whip out the camera...sometimes she even gives me a sweet smile

*she has been crawling for three months and definitely keeps us on our toes

*she climbs up stairs and has almost got the hang of going down safely

*she is close to walking on her own, but right now she walks along the furniture...it won't be long now!

...elephant noises don't make the pretties faces, but I get a kick every time she does it!...

...one of her strange expressions she gave me just for the camera!...

Savanna is such a joy to have...we love that she is so good-natured and just goes with the flow! Her smile brightens anyone's day and we're so glad that we can call her ours!

...here's that sweet smile I've been looking for!...
