Savannah 9 months old

Savannah has had a really fun month of crawling, cruising, squealing, and chasing after Skylar. She weighs 16.5 lbs now and is 28 inches tall. She has caught up on the height curve and the doctor says will probably be about 5'6" now. She is very independent in a lot of ways, but she still likes for you to be in the room and cries a pitiful cry when we leave the room. She certainly doesn't want to be held- she is way too busy for that- but she likes for everyone to be around just watching her. She doesn't like help with anything and gets mad when I try and help her hold her sippy cup or turn the page for her. She still hates sitting still and likes to keep her legs straight as a board when I am trying to put her in her high chair...until sometimes I literally have to do a sweep the leg move on her to get her to sit down. And when I am carrying her on my hip she likes to straighten out her legs and grab onto my shirt and try and climb up my shoulders. She loves to pull up on the knobs of our kitchen island like it is her own personal climbing wall. A few weeks ago we heard a commotion from her room and Ty went and checked on her and found that she had entirely dismantled her mobile and had pieces of it strewn across the room. He said it was like Baby King Kong in there destroying the village. Her poor room is getting more and more generic. We have already had to take away the fluffy homemade bumpers from Gigi because she was standing on them....and now no mobile anymore. She is also really hard to change and is constantly twisting and turning until I am breaking a sweat when she is finally dressed. All of that to say....she is a super active on the go baby!
But for that we are also really thankful.
She loves her sister and especially loves whatever Skylar is playing with at the moment. The favorite toy of the house right now is Skylar's Baby Penelope doll and then just a spoon and a bowl that they love to play with.
She takes two naps a day and usually sleeps good at night although she has the occasional wake up at 5 am and talk for an hour party. She likes to be loud and squealing but doesn't make many mama dada sounds yet. She likes fruit, veggies, and cereal but is not a huge fan of meat or green things.
She makes us laugh a lot and she can make me tired just watching her:)
