Apr 28th

She's shifted to falling asleep at 4pm and not really waking up again until midnight or so. She is, however, starting to nap regularly in the morning and evening. Still working on the afternoon nap - it's just too exciting during the day to sleep. She's not waking up so much at night, but stil 4-5 times. Bill's been taking her more frequently when she wakes up and won't go back to sleep. She's started pinching and grabbing more deliberately at night while nursing. She'll thrash and grab and kick her feet, then suddenly whip her head to the side 180 degrees and go completely still. It's funny, but rather painful!

She's also discovered how to latch and de-latch, and will wriggle over to try to latch on. Sometimes she misses, though, and gets a hand or whatnot.

She can sit up on her potty all by herself, although she toppled off the other day and went thump on the floor. She didn't seem to mind, though. She would much rather play with her toys while sitting up than lying down. In fact, I can't leave her on her back much anymore. I think she also doesn't like to be put down and have me go away. Tummy time is still not happy time. We get a couple minutes before crying sets in, although she looks so cute with her dimply bum up in the air.

She's got the fine control thing down. She'll grab for my hair in the morning when she's sitting on the potty.

She doesn't nurse for as often or as long anymore, although she still likes to hang out and sleep. She also likes to push with both hands and stretch the nipple out as far as possible. Ouch.

She's developed a leaky bug sound she does sometimes when she has to poop. She's also got a very cute little laugh, which comes out when you turn her in funny directions and make faces or blow bubbles.

She loves to crinkle dragon's wings. She also likes to grab tags.

The nut reaction seems to have gone away. The teething seems to have lessened - no teeth yet. Back to more solid poops and less leaking between poops. She's started popping off and looking at me when she has to pee. I'm going mostly on cues, now. She's peeing a lot less, especially in the afternoon.

Her eyes have gotten greyer. Her face has rounded out; she's no longer waifish looking. She's chubbier now, actually has enough fat on her legs that stuff gets stuck in the creases.
