Sit!
Suddenly last week she acquired the ability to sit up on her own. We still have to be careful and spot her, as she's prone to listing at unexpected moments. But it's very exciting.
The community health nurse came again last week to do a developmental assessment - a free service if you have a preemie. To be honest, I feel a little guilty taking advantage of it, but I did anyway. She's doing well for her adjusted age. It was funny - the nurse was trying to test her fine motor skills and get her to pick up this orange block, but Linna just wasn't interested in it and kept turning around to look at me instead. Then later the nurse offered a Cheerio, and Linna carefully picked it up and tried to eat it, though she'd never seen one before. That's not so very clever, really, since at this point absolutely anything she picks up goes into her mouth for a taste.
What else is new... I found a huge stash of Ethan's old clothes, 6-9 months. So now we're good for clothes again, though there wasn't much that was pink and frilly. But most of the onesies that Erika tie-dyed are now in play.
She's still working on her first tooth, but more in earnest now. I expect it any day. She's been fussy, drooly, chewy, and hot.
