Moira's World

So hard to grow teeth!

Poor girl has been up around every hour at night for the past week due to those darn top teeth! She was ready for the day this morning at 6:00, I wasn't! How can she be so bright eyed and chipper? Oh well, good thing she is adorable! She is constantly chewing and chewing, but they don't want to cut through, her gums are bright red at top and white on the bottom, I think her other two are waiting to come through now also. Kieran had his friend James over today and they played wrestling and boy games in the living room, Moira was very entertained watching them, she even laughed at appropriate moments. She still static talks all of the time, gurgling and squealing. She smiles for everyone! Even if she is crabby and hungry if you give her a big smile, she'll give you one right back, even when tears are streaming down her cheeks. She has been exploring the world of food, we started solids on 5/1/5 and these are the items she has eaten since: rice cereal, bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes, pears, green beans, prunes, zweiback toast, red plums, peaches, Gerber veggie puffs finger foods sweet potato, peas, zucchini, apples, yogurt, cheerios, kiwi, tofu, mangoes, brown rice porridge... mmmmm. She loves to eat! She hasn't turned a food down yet, and she always seems hungry. She still nurses around 8 times a day, which is a lot for a 7-1/2 month old, but three of those are in the middle of the night, and she only nurses for around 5 minutes at a time overnight. She weighs in at 15 lbs 7 oz, and she is 28" long, still pretty tiny but right in range for her birthweight of 6lbs 1oz. She is scooting well, what Shannon called the army crawl, she looks like she is pulling her weight with her arms and kicking her legs, she moves around very quickly like that. I just felt the need to write a few things about my girl today...
