Vita has declared victory over botulism! The doctors have said that she is completely recovered, and she is just a completely normal healthy baby! The recovery happened so much faster than we anticipated... but of course it did. Vita's first name "Vittoria" means "Victory" in Italian. Now she can do all the things that her seven month old peers can do. The botulism episode is officially over, and has become just an interesting anecdote for cocktail party conversation. HOORAY!
In other news, Vita's Grandma Victoria is visiting for the weekend. Victoria brought a conductor's hat that used to belong to Ernie.
Vita experienced bubbles for the very first time. She smiled at them, but wasn't particularly impressed. Perhaps we'll wait and bring the bubbles back out next month.
Mom was trying to tickle Vita with a blade of grass, but she doesn't seem to be ticklish (yet).
On Sunday, Vita had her first adventure in a redwood forest! Here we are in front of some really big trees.
And here we are INSIDE a really big tree.
What a beautiful view!
