9 month check up = Fun stuff!

Hello everybody!
So, obviously I STILL haven't posted any recent photos. It will probably be awhile before I can do that now. We are having someone working on our house during the day all day, so until he is done, I am "kicked out" of our house while he is working. I am SO SORRY. Please keep checking the blog and if you want to see some recent photos, there are a few on Facebook.
On to the good stuff, Savannah is crawling faster than ever these days! She can now pull up on just about anything and everything; she is keeping me very busy, but I love every minute of it.
We had our first emergency with her last week. She decided to pull up on the dining room chair using my purse and it was too top heavy and fell on her. We took her to the doctor in frantic mode, well, I was in frantic mode, Daddy was very well composed. She turned out just fine and the next day you couldn't even see a bruise! WHEW! I thought I kept a close eye on her before but now, I don't let her out of my sight. I still let her explore and learn but am much more cautious.
She is such a big girl, here is just a few of her other accomplishments:
-can clap hands together when we sing "Patty Cake."
-says Mama and Dada all the time.
-understands, "NO!"
-pulls up in crib and is waiting for us anxiously in the morning with a big smile on her face.
-has mastered all of her 2nd foods and now on to the 3rd foods.
-has two bottom teeth trying to come in, one is already showing!
-loves bath time
-loves it when i sing to her-
-plays independently very well :)

Here are some stats from her 9 month check up today:
-26 1/2 inches long (30%tile height)
-19 lbs 6 oz (75%tile weight)
Her head cirumference was in the 90%tile!!
Not only is she short and chunky, but she has a big head!! As Aric likes to say, she needs room for that brain to grow! ;)

She is still suffering from some separation anxiety but I think she is getting better. I am getting more involved in church activities which means more time in the nursery with other babies. She does really well in the nursery and it just makes me smile when i hear good reports from the ladies that watch her.
Savannah is still a very curious baby. She likes to study things before she get's into it. She is going to be very analytical like her daddy!
Baby girl can sleep! She can get by with one nap a day but usually takes two and sleeps through the night. Down by 9 or so and up at 7. It's fantastic! :)
I believe she is going to be a daddy's girl. Every evening when Aric get's home she literally will crawl as fast as she can toward him or if I am holding her, she will try to jump out of my arms to get to him. It is very sweet and I love the fact that she knows her daddy :)

As for Aric and I, we are always busy. We are finally getting some one to fix the problems around our house. Once that is done all we will have to do is paint and replace the floors in the kitchen and dining room. There will be some minor updates that will need to do, like replace light fixtures and fans but we are getting somewhere so, that's progress!
Leaders' Club is starting back up and we are looking forward to a great year of mentoring and ministering to the teens of the Prattvile YMCA. Then, Auburn football is right around the corner and for once I am not really too excited. I am trying to stay positive this season but so far it is looking very bleak.
What an exciting busy year we have ahead of us. We cannot wait to see what God has in store for us.
God bless and have a wonderful day!

Love,
Emily
