At 7 months, Marisa is experiencing teething pains and as a result drools a lot and loves putting things in her mouth. She'll grab anything within reach ... toy, bib, shirt collar, edge of crib mattress pad, towels, blankets, pillows, etc. She'll even try to reach out for your mug as you lift it to drink out of it, and she will try to pull it towards her mouth and lick the side. It's really cute.
Her favorite toy at the moment is a teething rattle. You can hold up one of her two other rattles and she will either be indifferent or not interested, however when you hold up her favorite rattle she will raise up her arms to reach out for it. It's really cute to watch her do this. She loves the soft liquid filled side, it helps with her teething pains. Sometimes she tries to stick the bulbous end in her mouth too. In either case, they are the quintessential medium for moving drool out of the mouth!
Her other favorite toy is a red one with plasting teething arches on its back. We got this one from Cheryl who has two kids of her own. Marisa loves gnawing on this one when her favorite rattle isn't in front of her. We try to rotate her toys so she doesn't get bored with the same one. This red one usually remains in her Pali Mia crib, along with a colorful clown which she used to love a few months ago but has shown little interest in lately.
Another toy she plays with is this pink bunny with star shaped rings. She got this from Vicki & Larry when they came to visit at the hospital. She loves to stick the stars in her mouth. If the stars aren't in her mouth, then it's one of the bunny ears. Poor bunny. The bunny usuallly stays in her Graco Pack n Play. She will sometimes (rare occasion) take mini naps in the playpen, she is more open to it during the early morning hours. Not as much luck during the day. Her favorite place to nap is in our arms, against our chest with her head resting on our shoulder. Her head has gotten much larger and heavier since birth.. our shoulder feels sore after she has been napping on it for nearly an hour.
