on tuesday morning (3.28) i discovered that her second tooth is coming in. and i made sure this time by actually feeling it. she's sticking everything into her mouth to soothe the teething pains (her thumb, tags from her blanket, people's clothes, the plastic piece on her carseat strap, etc.). needless to say, she's been crabby these last few days.
JR is out of town all week on business. i wonder if maya will recognize him when he gets home.
she's still working on rolling over; her lower half is definitely well on its way but she doesn't have enough push yet to get her upper half over. but she can do this when she's on her tummy and when she's on her back. she did roll over this morning when she was on the couch (i was watching her, of course); but i think she was able to do this because the cushions are soft and sloping.
she loves the taggy blanket i made for her. she sticks her fingers through the tags, puts them in her mouth, or just feels them.
she sort of stopped talking for awhile but she's starting up again.
her grip on things is much stronger (and it's always been strong). she can hold onto things longer too.
she loves playing with my hair.
she doesn't automatically start crying after waking up in her crib. but she somehow manages to wiggle over to the edge and then get her hand stuck between the slats of the crib, which then makes her cry for help.
food is starting to spark her interest. she watches us intently while we eat and sometimes moves her little lips as if she's practicing eating. she'll sit in someone's lap at the table and reach for our food or stare at us. she'll even bang her hands on the table sometimes like she's demanding her own plate.
she grabs at everything. whatever is in reach she tries to grab and yank and throw on the floor. if paper gets in her hands she rips it apart and tries to eat the scraps.
she is easily distracted while breastfeeding.
when i firmly tell her not to bite during breastfeeding (or that she's hurting me), she'll stop biting.
she's a thumbsucker.

well, she probably stops biting because i'm practically yelling from the pain! and she doesn't stop biting all together. she stops just for that moment!
we haven't tried the rice cereal yet, so we'll have to see if she's actually truly intersted in eating. it might just be that she likes to grab whatever is in our hands.
