Melina's doing a lot of new things now. It's pretty amazing how much she has changed over the last few months. I think the period between six and nine or ten months is really one of the most interesting in terms of development. (So far, anyway!). She's mastered the art of crawling, pulling herself up, and standing, and she's climbing up the stairs (seven times yesterday!). She's also saying new words. She will look at me in the middle of the night and very seriously say "Ga." I'm sure it's supposed to mean something, but I can't fathom what. Probably something like "Why don't you go downstairs and make me a nice cup of warm milk while I lay here and bask in the comfort of this feather pillow?" She will also wave goodbye when you say "bye bye," even if you don't wave first; and she enjoys climbing all over the cat.
She's eating everything under the sun, including dust bunnies, fuzz balls, ancient pieces of dried tofu, and sequins. She also enjoys fresh tofu squares (the girl LOVES tofu), chicken, puffed rice, puffed kamut, cheerios, polenta, green beans (especially Thai fried green beans), eggless egg salad (made from tofu, of course), broccoli (sometimes), peas (sometimes), and stewed prunes (always!). We gave her some pretty spicy Cajun chicken the other day and she gobbled it up. Looks like she's going to be an adventurous eater, which is a big relief for mama!

My little dude is 7 months and it is freaking me out the amount of changes that are taking place! All of a sudden it is like someone pushed the fast-forward button. I gotta say that sometimes I would really like him to slow down.
