Savannah Jane

Dear Savannah,

On Saturday, you turned NINE months old! As one of my friends said “She’s been out as long as she was in.” Indeed.

This has been a big month for learning new tricks. You know what the chandelier is, you have grown four more teeth, you can walk with ‘steps’ when Mom or Dad hold your hands, you wave (almost incessantly at this point – I had to tell you that the computer, dogs, light fixtures, etc., cannot wave back), AND you can cruise from one side of the window ledge to the other, laughing the whole time.

You have also discovered your voice. “Dadadadadadadadadadadadadadaadaaaaaa…..” This is what I hear all day long. In addition, the pterodactyl noises have made a big come back along with ‘the Ernie laugh” as Conor calls it.

Your sense of humor continues to develop. I love hearing you laugh at yourself on the monitor after you’ve woken up from a nap.

You have decided that you are best equipped to feed yourself, so mealtimes have become quite the messy affair. You’ve tried O’s, cheese and yogurt and love them all. Plus, the bonus for me is that you try to put your sticky, yogurty hands into my mouth too! Such a good sharer.

We love you silly banana!
