Seven Months Old

I can't believe that seven months have come and gone!  Just yesterday I was looking at Maryn and all of the sudden I realized how big she has gotten - and then I cried!

Not many new things to report with Maryn these days.  Her ear continues to heal.  Hopefully she will only have to wear her big bandage around her head for another week.  Everything is starting to itch - both her ear as it heals, but also her whole head from being covered all the time.  Poor baby is always trying to scratch her head or get the bandages off.  But she loves getting her head shampooed when we change the dressing.

She still loves sitting up and playing with her toys.  She recently discovered she can bang two toys together and make lots of noise!  Still not very enthusiastic about solid foods.  She tried oatmeal this morning and seemed to like it; she usually only takes three to five bites of whatever we give her.  But that's okay, she still gets all the nutrition she needs from breastmilk.  She is also teething - one incisor has come in on top, and I think she's simultaneously working on the other three, so lots of drool and occasional fussiness these days.


As always, Maryn is such a joy and we are thankful for another month with her!
