Seven months

The past month has flown by. Marla is still trucking along, getting more grown up all the time.

We're pretty excited around here this week, because she got a tooth!

"What IS that in there?"


 She can squirm around on her belly pretty well now, although it hasn't progressed to crawling yet. Is our house baby-proofed, you ask? Of course not!


 She's very interested in Betsy and laughs at just about anything she does.


 She sleeps really well... when it suits her mood. She goes down around 8:00 p.m., usually makes it through the night, and wakes up around 5:00-5:30 a.m. I guess I can't complain (much).

 
Jeff went back to coaching football this week, which means he's home a lot less than he has been throughout this spring and summer. She's still a daddy's girl despite spending less time with him every day.



And Mom's all right too, I guess.


We're still working on solid foods. Frankly, she's just not very interested. She does seem to enjoy playing with food, so we're hoping her appetite will improve once she's able to feed herself.


Her hair is growing all over her head, but still seems to sprout especially well up top, giving her a mohawk/toupee look. She pulls it off better than Donald Trump, and it provides endless bathtime entertainment.


If she's anything like me, she'll want to be an animal for every Halloween until she's 14. Here's her first crack as Marla the Mouse, wearing a cat onesie and attacking a sheep. Clever, no?
