Six Months Old and Sitting Pretty!

Savannah is six months old today!

Isn't that hard to believe?! At times I think it has simply flown by, but then at other times, like 3 am in particular, I think she's been around longer than six months! :) We cannot imagine our lives without her!

This month she really started sitting up. She loves to try to sit up anytime that you try to make her lay down. It won't be long before she masters it. She can sit pretty well on the floor, as long as you are nearby to catch her before she gets tired and topples over.

She is also eating baby food really well now. Some of my friends have inspired me to make my own baby food, so yesterday I set out on a mission in our kitchen with various fruits, veggies, and a food processor. An hour later, I had enough purees in our freezer to feed an army of babies. :) I thought it would hard and time consuming to make, but it was actually quick and easy, and very cheap! The financial aspect of it was definitely the motivating factor, but from what I hear it is also a lot healthier for babies as well!

This month she starting sitting in a highchair at restaurants for the first time. She likes it because she can be nosey and observe all the action from her own little perch. The only thing we have to do is keep everything on the table, especially silverware and cups, out of her reach!

She learned how to do two things with her mouth this month...squeal and spit! When she wants someone's attention, she makes a high pitched squealing noise until they look at her. I'm sure that'll get old fast, but its still pretty cute right now. :) She's also learned that if she sticks her tongue out and makes a "pffft" sound, spit goes everywhere. She finds this very entertaining and will do it for about 20 minutes straight, showering anything and everything in sight. I hope people that sit at tables after us use Lysol! ;)

She also found her feet this month, and they are her favorite thing to hold or put in her mouth. She grabs them as soon as she wakes up!

We are still waiting on that first tooth to emerge, but I'm pretty confident it will come this month. :)

It has been a wonderful six months with our little blessing, and we're loving every minute of it! :)
