Thanks! I guess it is time to check that book out.

It is very hot in Florida right now, but as soon as it cools down a little I plan on taking us for more walks and stuff during the day.

She definitely fights sleep and is tired. She has been "grumpy" since birth. I think I've figured out her food allergies, dairy and soy, but sometimes I wonder if I am missing something else.

She is a lot happier now that she can crawl / walk / half climb. She is tired right now. I put her in the swing and she is listening to her music and just staring at the window. When her music stops she'll start complaining and I'll have to turn it on again. She may or may not actually fall asleep during this, but at least she is happy to hang out there for now. (What the heck am I going to do without the swing when she is too big?!)

I do feel really lucky she stays asleep at night. She slept about 9 hours last night and nursed 4 times. I counted. That isn't really sleeping through the night, but oh well. Also, I feel blessed on the days she crashes. I generally write and work on my sites at that time, because any extra little noises will often wake her up. I'm not willing to risk doing dishes and waking her.

Oh my goodness, she may crash today. She looks sleepy over in the swing. I have to plan something to do!
