A week really makes a huge difference! Savannah started to crawl the day she turned eight months and just a short seven days later she was crawling like a pro. Not only that, but all of a sudden she thought it would be fun to pull up and stand which surprised mom and dad because it happened so darn quick! Safe to say, Savannah's crib was lowered to the lowest setting on December 14th. While we were in Maine she decided to stand up in her crib for the first time (December 29th) and now it's a regular occurrence for us to walk into her room and she's standing there greeting us with a wide smile.
We made two failed attempts to see Santa this month -- wicked long lines -- but thankfully the third time was a charm. Savannah wasn't too sure about the big man and it was difficult to coax a smile out of her but we have a nice picture to remember the moment.
Savannah celebrated three Christmas' this year! One at the lake, one at home with Mom & Dad, and one in Maine. Christmas brought lots of wonderful new gifts and Savannah made a few attempts to unwrap gifts and pull tissue paper out of gift bags but for the most part she was entertained with empty boxes and bows! On Christmas Day Savannah also clapped for the first time which was totally adorable! She holds one hand still and claps with the other hand.

"My stocking is bigger than me!"
Grandan's snow globe is fascinating
Savannah took her second plane ride to Maine this month to celebrate Christmas with family. She didn't get to experience her first snow there (that happened on January 6th when Virginia got a few inches) but she enjoyed all the attention from family and friends and or course she loved my brother's dog, Andy.
"Is this ribbon for me?"
At her 9 month appointment she weighed 17 lbs. 5 oz (20th percentile) and was 27.5 inches long (50th percentile). She had two shots but handled them pretty well and her teachers said you would have never known she had shots that morning because she was such a happy girl the rest of the day.

As for food. Savannah's been eating a lot more table food the last couple weeks. She gets sorta angry when I feed her purees so I've been giving her things she can easily pick up and mash with her gums. She's loving scrambled eggs and sauteed zucchini for breakfast. Lunch favorites include deli turkey, pieces of sweet potato and brussel sprouts.
