7 months

Happy 7 months, Savannah!

This month:
You finally decided rolling over was a fun thing to do and now you never stop!  You can roll over whenever you want, even in the smaller confines of your crib.  It must be nice to finally feel a little in control of what toy you play with.
You have 4 big teeth and your top side 2 are slowly making their way through.  We love your toothy grin, especially when you squint your eyes to accentuate that cute smile.
Good thing it is nice weather!  You are having so much fun being outside at the park.  We took you to the tennis courts and you were very happy to just watch mommy and daddy play for a while.  You are excited for the thrill of sliding down slides with a lot of support from mommy or daddy and you absolutely love the swings.  You giggle and squeal when you are being pushed in one of the baby swings at the park near our house.
You love veggies more that fruit!  You eat green beans, peas, and carrots the best.  You also like sweet potatoes.  You like applesauce and peaches and bananas.  Pears have lost their appeal and mangoes were kind of ok.  Because you are such a reacher, we finally got you a high chair so that we can actually put something on the table when we have dinner.  You love it and we are excited to try some finger foods now that you have a big tray all to yourself.  We did give you a slice of apple to play with and you were so adorable as you would lick it, scrunch up your face, then lick it again.
You got to visit all your grandparents this month-lucky little girl!  You are starting to have a hard time accepting others holding you and the first little while at both houses were rocky, but you eventually warmed up to everyone and enjoyed the extra attention.  Your grandparents sure love you!
Naps are much better.  You have learned to stay up for about 3 hours at a time and consequently are sleeping for 1-2 hours at a time (instead of 25 minutes).  Mommy loves this!
You love to flap your hands up and down.  You do this when someone is holding you, when you are sitting up, and when you are drinking your bottle-and this time is when you often hit your head in your exuberance to whack those little arms.
Talk, talk, talk.  You are making more and more sounds everyday.  You like to listen to mommy and daddy make silly sounds.  You learned how to click your tongue on the top of your mouth with your mouth closed-quite an interesting trick but cute, of course.
You are such a cutie in the stores.  Everywhere we go, you get so many compliments on how cute you are.  At the dollar store on Valentine's Day, an old man even bought you a Valentine's balloon!  This balloon has been your favorite toy for the last few days, for sure.
You and mommy survived daddy's first business trip.  He had to fly to Modesto for a school project for 4 days.  We cheated a little bit and went to Grandpa and Grandma's house, but you really missed daddy a lot!  You were so excited to see him when he came back-you would not stop smiling and pumping your arms and legs.  You love him so much and he loves and missed you, too!

We love you so much!
