7 Months

Savannah turned 7 months old 2 weeks ago.  She is doing great, but poor thing has been sick on and off for over a month.  I guess that's what happens when you have two older siblings who go to preschool.  My dad was even trying to think of a nickname for her like "lobster" since that is a crustacean, and her nose is always crusty!  Haha, only my dad!  We also think she may have bad allergies.  She always seems to have red puffy eyes, and I have now noticed that it seems worse when she is outside.  We are holding off on meds for now, since she is so little, but she may need a daily allergy med, and we will talk to the pedi about this at her 9 month check-up.  As you can see in her 7 month pictures, her eyes are slightly puffy and overall she looks a little sick to me.  Precious as ever though!

She is still doing great with the helmet, but enjoys her helmet-free hour in the evening.  I cut her hair again!  Her hair was crazy.  It was growing in WAY lighter than her newborn hair, and there was a distinctive line where the black hair was and where the new growth started.  Her hair also seems to be the lightest of the three, and seems like it might be curly.  Audrey's is curly, but I don't remember that showing up until her hair grew a bit.

Savannah loves her siblings, and will put up with quite a bit!

Here are her 7 month facts:

• Still a great sleeper.  Takes 2 long naps a day, and one short one right before dinner.  Sleeps almost 11 hours at night, and if wakes up, will go back down after a diaper change.
• Eating sooooo much better!  Takes four 7 ounce bottles a day and now up to 3 solid meals of baby food.  She is a picky one!  She definitely cares about temperature and texture and cant handle a puff at this point.  Only baby mush will do. 
• Size 3 diapers
• size 9 month clothes, still some 6 month
• mover and shaker.  Can get anywhere she wants by inching, scooting, and rolling.  Hasn't really army crawled or crawled yet.

And just because I love this picture and this girl, I am putting it in this post as well.  She is our angel!
