Savvy is 7 Months

I took Savannah in for a 7 month check up this past week! She is 27 inches long and 17.25 lbs. Everything is in working order :-)
Savvy is rocking back and forth on her hands and knees. She can scoot backwards and faceplant forward. She is babbling up a storm! Even said Dada last week several times. I do believe that is her first official word and as much as I deny it, I'm pretty sure she connects the word to Matt. Needless to say, he is very excited about it. Savvy can grasp objects, switch hands, brings things to her mouth, reach for toys, flip the pages of a book, pull her feet to her mouth and sleep through the night.

To experience her smile is life altering.

She loves to eat! We started her on solids a little after 6 months. She didn't like cereal, even mixed with breast milk. But she loves combos. Sweet potatoes and carrots. Carrots and apple sauce. Pumpkin and spinach. Squash and carrots. Avocado and pears. Auntie Ellie sent us the baby bullet and we have put it to great use! It is much easier to clean than the blender. :-)

Savvy = happy baby

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith, I am sure that bloggers across the world are firing away about a news piece gone viral today. http://gma.yahoo.com/k-e-diet-brides-using-feeding-tubes-rapidly-080053646--abc-news-health.html In case this link is non-existent by the time you read this, long story short, people are using feeding tubes for rapid weight loss in a short amount of time. This is your mother talking. If for some reason this ridiculous trend is still around when you grow up, and you think about doing this to your self, please know that I will spank you and put you in timeout. You do not diet to fit into a dress, or suit. You pick an outfit that highlights your best attributes and get it tailored to fit your body, not the other way around. No matter what size you are, as long as your are healthy, not putting toxins into your body, and exercising, whatever size you are is beautiful and perfect in God's eyes because God does not make mistakes. There is a flattering de...
