Teeth etc...

Maya's centre bottom teeth are just starting to break the surface! On Tuesday morning, I saw a little bit of one sticking through on the left side, and if you rub along the bottom gums you can feel a hint of sharpness. I hear the teeth can move up and down before they really poke through, but it is exciting nonetheless for us. However, I don't know how exciting Maya finds it - she seems okay but is feeding more frequently at night, if that could be at all possible. She's also chewing on her hand quite a bit more than usual, but other than that, she still seems happy.

On another note, we've had a technological breakthrough - webcam! Finally, my mother has been able to see Maya 'in the flesh' with the aid of video conversations. We had been discussing for months the possibility of webcamming, but it all seemed too hard, somehow. Last week I bit the bullet and bought a cheap-ish webcam, and Mom did the same the next day in Seattle. Wiithin 2 days we could see and hear each other across the Pacific - amazing! The picture is stilted and the sound delayed, but it's better than nothing...

This photo was taken by our good friend Kath, who came to see Maya for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We took Kath up to our rammed-earth-house-in-progress, and she snapped this one of Maya down the hallway. Congratulations, Kath, on your PhD. Yay, Dr Marles! We enjoyed the graduation on Monday night...
