seven months + one week old...

Oops! I'm a week late for my monthly "Taylor" update. She's great. Apart from the rotten cold that just won't go away. It has travelled around her little body for almost 8 weeks now. It goes from her eyes to her throat, then her nose, then turns into a terrible cough. One thing will improve then she will get symptons somewhere else. I feel terrible for her. She has been to the doctors several times but there doesn't seem to be much they can do. The virus just doesn't want to go. Other than that she is going very well. She can sit up by herself now, but it seems to be more fun to hurl herself backwards and sideways, so we have to stuff pillows all around her. She rolls here, there and everywhere on the floor. She also thinks it fun to try and roll over on the change table. This can get very messy. She is getting very frustrated at the moment, not really content with any particular activity for more than a few minutes. It can be exhausting. Her favourite time is bath-time. She could sit in there for ages. She is enjoying all different kinds of food now and can feed herself rusks and toast crusts - well she pretty much just chews them up until they are a gooey mess and wipes them all over her face and clothes, but oh well. It's all part of the learning process. Her favourite food is my home-made pumpkin soup which her and I have for lunch almost every day. Yummmm. She also loves yoghurt and custard and loves her weet-bix and pureed fruit for breakfast.
Here are a couple of blurry pictures. Blurry because I refuse to use the flash anymore and she doesn't stay still long enough.
