Savannah's Six Month Update
Half way to one year old! How is this possible??!
Savannah had her six month check-up Tuesday and weighed in at 14 lbs. 14 oz. (25th percentile) and measured 26 1/2 inches long (85th percentile). Very healthy said the doctor! Our little monkey had to get two shots and they were the toughest yet partly because she was hungry and tired at the time. We (Mom, Dad & Sav) all got through it though and the doctor gave us the go-ahead to start solids so Savannah tried butternut squash for the first time that night. She wasn't too sure about it and most of it wound up on her face or bib but I know she'll get the hang of this eating thing soon. After a few more days of squash we plan to try avocado and sweet potato!
This month Savannah took her first beach trip to the Outer Banks in North Carolina for a family wedding. She really liked sticking her toes in the sand and staring out at the ocean! We stayed in a house with her Grammie, Grandan, Aunt De and Don Al and I think it's safe to say everyone was happy to have a few days of "baby time."
Savannah has settled into a really great schedule at daycare over the last month. She wakes up in the morning between 6 - 6:30am. I drop her at daycare just before 8am and she takes a bottle at 9am, noon, and 3pm. She's taking three naps a day -- one from 9-10:30am, another from 12:15-2pm, and a catnap from 4:30-5pm. I pick her up around 5:45pm and then nurse her in the evening before bed at 7:30pm.
Nighttime sleep has been great this month! Savannah isn't waking nearly as often if at all. I think part of it has to do with the fact that's she's started rolling onto her stomach at night and sleeping on her belly. Every once in awhile she'll wake-up fussing and she wants to be rolled back on her back or side but otherwise everyone is getting some good shuteye these days! Also, Savannah has been working on sitting both at home and at school and Mom and Dad think it's fun to watch her wobble a little from side-to-side as she practices this new skill.
Finally, Savannahwalked "strolled" with her Mom and Dad in her first 5k this month in support of Prevent Cancer Foundation. After the walk which took place at Nats Park, we got to go down on the field and check out the batting cages inside the stadium!
This month we've learned....

Finally, Savannah
Nats Park. First baseball field visited.
This month we've learned....
- 5+ hour car rides with a baby aren't so bad when you take turns entertaining your little munchkin in the backseat.
- Grandan can't be trusted with vanilla ice cream.
- A sweet little baby face is even more adorable when covered with butternut squash.
- You will slightly panic when you wake-up in the morning and see your little one asleep on her stomach for the first time.
