Mars and I are both feeling much better this week:) I guess all that fussiness and fever over the weekend was just due to teething pain. (I'm not sure what my fussiness was due to). His two tiny, little lower incisors erupted without incident, but the upper two giant, rabbit teeth presented more of a problem. But, they're through and now that we have FOUR teeth (three weeks ago there were ZERO teeth!) maybe we will have a little break from teething for a while.
Besides getting new teeth, Marley is doing all sorts of other things. He can blow bubbles underwater in the bath tub. He can pick up small pieces of food between his thumb and index finger, very well. In fact, his entire dinner tonight consisted of finger food that he fed himself with NO help from me (cubes of sweet potatoes, cheese, and chicken, and spiral pasta). Mars can pull himself to standing by grabbing my hands (he can't do this on furniture yet). When I first set him on the floor, he stays in "crawling position" for a few moments before sliding down to his belly. He rolls all over the place and has figured out how to get to most of the toys (and electrical outlets) he wants. He loves his noise-making toys and his touchy-feely books. And can you believe that he's going to be 10 months old on Saturday?!?
Jeff got another x-ray this week. His doc said that he can stop wearing the sling and start doing more with his left arm (YAY!). Basically, the doc told him to do whatever he wants, but to stop if it hurts. The only rule is that he isn't allowed to lift his arm above his head.
