I think that I've finally figured out Brie and then she'll go and mix things up. For example, she used to take a morning nap around 10:30/11 for a couple hours, then 2 shorter naps in the afternoon. Not so this week. She's all about not napping. Well, more like catnapping. She's taking a few 20-30 minute power naps throughout the day now. I'm not certain they are really power naps as she seems crankier than normal. (Is crankier a word? Sounded better than more cranky.) Maybe she's teething...I feel like I see a white spot under her gums, but can't feel anything really yet. We probably won't know until a tooth pops out, which could be several months away according to some things I've read. Anyway, it's always a new day with Brie. Last night she slept from about 10:30 p.m to 4:30 a.m. I call that success!
It's amazing how much Brie has changed since birth. She can now grasp things and put them in her mouth; she can lift her head up when doing tummy time and roll over front to back and back to front; she loves standing with us holding her up (she has preferred that since birth) and stretching her legs out; she gurgles and coos and makes all sorts of other noises; she smiles, giggles and laughs; she's quite the observer and loves to watch what I'm doing, whether I'm sitting at the computer, folding laundry or preparing food.
Brie's been a fantastic companion on my strolls around the neighborhood. She loves to be outside with me pushing her around (I get a great workout in that 3.5 miles of pushing). Neighbors come out and love to chat with her when we walk by (resting time for me). Bonus: her stroller has a perfect spot to store the trash I pick up as we go along. All in all, we are a lovely team.
I love this video of Brie:
