15 weeks old

- She finally seems to be developing a schedule. Unfortunately, that schedule still involves getting up at 4:30 or 5, but she'll go right back to sleep after she eats and then gets up again around 8. That's almost a full 12 hours of sleep. She'll take one nap around 10 or 11, and then she almost always falls asleep in her car seat in the afternoons on our way home from work, around 2 and will stay asleep for 2 hours or so.

- She has definately discovered her voice. She has learned how to communicate without crying-- it's more like a scream, and knows how to get her mommy or daddy's attention.

- She loves to "dance" to the music on her play gym. She kicks her legs around violently, almost in rhythm.

- She is laughing a whole lot more now! Everything is funny to her. She especially loves people to talk to her. Women make her laugh. Men just fascinate her-- she gets really quiet & just stares when she sees a new man. Also, we're in for a treat when she gets older if she continues to bat her eyelashes as she's learned to do, with her innocent little grin.

- She's suddenly become incredibly oral. Her hands are always in her mouth. She can take a small toy, grasp it in her hand, and bring it into her mouth. Surprisingly, though, she doesn't really care for her pacifier.

- There is nothing like the sweet smell of her little baby hair, the feeling of her little body after she's fallen asleep in my arms, or the sound of her contagious little giggle.

This is how she looks at her daddy.
He's in trouble.
