      ( 7:27 PM ) Lostcheerio  
WOW. She ate something!!! Today she ate five or six cheerios, enough little pieces of Ritz cracker to probably make one whole cracker, and enough little bits of tuna casserole to probably make one curly noodle. AMAZING! She was actually opening her mouth and trying to eat it!?!?!? I'm floored. She won't eat baby food though -- apparently she's just been holding out for the actual human food. Fine with me! We seem to have passed through that horrible non-sleeping and constant-nursing phase. She must have boosted my supply up to where she needed it -- it's much better now.

Another! Thing! She is sleeping in her.... CRIB! We finally got her a crib -- it's a lovely white one that will turn into a double bed frame when she's ready. It's very beautiful and matches the woodwork around our windows. We dug out, washed, and installed Benny's old John Lennon bedding and it looks quite nice. :) Even the mobile! Benny was standing up and grabbing it before he had a chance to even enjoy it -- so it had to be taken out. This baby is taking things at a more leisurely pace! Although, she is so close to crawling sometimes it's appalling. Dan says, "Get out the duct tape!" We're so pleased with her being so huggy and cuddly and holdy and NON-mobile -- it will be a shock and an adjustment when she actually starts moving around. Today in the middle of all her toys on the floor she *was* scootching a little bit, but just a little. :)

Anyway. Food, a crib, next it'll be the college applications. Very dear sweet little baby girl is being VERY naughty and growing up. Did I mention she's eight months old? Shhhh, don't tell Dad.
