six months

 Savanna is six months old today.  Wow.  Time is flying even more quickly the second time around.  Her 6 month appointment isn't until next week, so we will get her stats then, but she seems to be growing a ton!  Oh my goodness do we love this girl and as Heidi always says, "I'm so glad Savanna came to our family."

*Savanna is still just about as happy and easy going as they come.
*Starting to show more separation anxiety, but is easily calmed by the sight of mom or dad.  (Unless she is extra tired or hungry, then she wants mom)
*Rolls from her back to tummy.
*Spins and spins while on the floor.
*Enjoys playing on the floor with toys more than being held most of the time.  Of course she wants someone to talk to while she is playing and Heidi is her favorite person to have around.

*Starting to eat solid food a little better, but absolutely will not touch cereal if it isn't mixed with breastmilk.  Has only had squash and sweet potatoes besides cereal and prefers the sweet potatoes.
*Giggles constantly. Heidi will walk in the room and she will start laughing.  She is also very ticklish especially her ribs and toes.
*LOVES peek-a-boo and will laugh hysterically every time you reappear.

*Almost every person who meets her thinks she looks exactly like Jeff except for the light eyes.
*We are wondering what her hair will do.  It seems to be getting lighter but I am still crossing my fingers it will be dark.
*Can only sit on her own for about 1 second before toppling over.
*Still inconsistent nighttime sleeper, but fairly consistent napper.
*Loves to lean, reach, and grab anything and everything.
*Flails her arms and legs like crazy when she's excited....mostly as soon as anyone walks in the room to greet her.
*Has started to growl.  It is the funniest little sound and we all laugh heartily when she shares it with us.
