1. Her favorite activity is to talk and laugh.
2. She likes to play in her bouncy seat.
3. She likes to look at her mobile go around and around and around.
4. Though she looks surprised every time, she's always happy in the bath.
5. Silas and Micah are very interesting to her, probably because of all the noise they make.
6. In good Fank fashion, she loves to be outside, even when it's cold (but not windy).
The traditional "sack of potatoes" hold
Liza also has some quirks. In fact, she is the most peculiar baby I've ever know. As you know, she's had colic. Frustrating, but normal. Here are the not-so-normal-drive-me-crazy little tid-bits about her:
1. won't sleep in a bed*
2. doesn't like to wear hats
3. doesn't like to nurse on my left side
4. doesn't like to nurse under a blanket
5. occasionally won't nurse at all
6. doesn't tolerate milk products in my diet
7. has no predictable sleeping schedule, unlike her brothers at this same age**
Sitting in the bouncy seat outside
*We haven't actually tried to put her in a bed in about 6 weeks. After the colic set in, we did whatever we could to get her to sleep, and keep her asleep. This meant sleeping in her car seat or swing, where she currently sleeps. In the next couple of weeks, we'll probably start the transition to the pack and play.
**This is most likely related to the colic as well.
POST LOGUE:
Liza is now 14 weeks old. We have still not attempted to put her in a bed to sleep. She is, however, taking 3 regular naps and goes to bed at about the same time every night. Almost all of these bedtimes occur with little or no crying! But please, don't bother asking me if she's "sleeping through the night". That's all relative now.
