"Is she on a schedule?" "Does she sleep through the night?"
"Sort of," and "No."
Well, it's really not as bad as all that. She kind of has a schedule, now that we're all in the right time zone. We can generally get her to sleep around 8:30. She wakes up at least once per night wanting a bottle (and some nights wakes up again with teething pain -??). She sleeps until 6:30 or 7:00 and enjoys a brief morning nap. She sleeps more during her afternoon nap, but lately has had such fun practicing walking that this one can be difficult to initiate, too.
Iris is a very active baby. When we met her less than a month ago, she was still struggling to roll over. She can now crawl and has learned to handle our various floor surfaces with minimal faceplants. She can get herself into a sitting position with no problems. Iris can pull up to a stand and move about (cruise) grasping furniture or our body parts. She has stood on her own for a few seconds, and knows how to fall on her bottom rather than her head. I think we'd better finish babyproofing!!
She likes fancy toys as well as simple toys. She will 'dance' to kids' music and to our favorite artists. Musical toys are great fun, so are mirrors, cups, and rattles. She also greatly enjoys colorful magazines, the TV remote control, anything with a tag, and anything she can chew (this last category covers all things, so she is not picky about toys).
We took Iris to Hell'sgate State Park on the Snake River today and did a field test of the backpack/carrier. She loved it!!! Daddy makes an excellent horsie.
