That baby doesn't cry at all unless she's uncomfortable. Feed her, change her, keep her clothes dry.. and she's the happiest camper on earth. Smiling all the time.. She's almost 5 months old and she's starting to notice everything! Her hands, her feet, her eyes take in everything, so seriously.. I'm positive she's surveying everything, planning, getting ready for the day she has absolute control over her muscles and bones. I've said it several times but I'll say it again - I'm certain that the youngin is just biding her time.
She had a ball with a helium balloon yesterday. We gave her the ribbon that the balloon was tied to so that she could move the balloon around herself, and that kept her entertained for a good 30 minutes. I never heard such delighted giggles by a baby that small in all my life, nor such sounds of pained denial when the ribbon slipped from her hand, which continued until we gave the balloon back to her!
I'm almost sure.. *shivers* ...that she's going to be just like Mikyla... to the 7th power!
