Melina has been hard at work pushing up new teeth, figuring out how to use her hands, and experimenting with new vocalizations. Today I noticed two tiny white ridges pushing through her lower gum - teeth! She has been drooling a lot and complaining a little more than usual, so I'm not that surprised. Today she also discovered that she can use her voice in a new way. Instead of a whiny sound, it's more like a real voice. It's kind of hard to explain.
In the last two weeks, she's also made leaps and bounds in the ability to use her hands. Now she can grab the binkie, pass it from one hand to another, and try to put it back in her mouth - usually upside down. I wouldn't be surprised if she was hammering out Beethoven on the piano by the end of next week.
Apart from that, she's even more interested in what's going on around her. If she hears something interesting while she's eating, she'll turn her head and look around. She's easily distracted and usually easily amused. She's laughing a little more every day, though her laughs still sound a little rusty.
She just managed to pull my glasses off for the first time. What a victory! She studied them for several minutes, grunting softly, and managed to fold them up before losing interest and bursting into tears.
