party girl

Sara wore this out on Saturday night, and it is very appropriate -- she doesn't like to miss a party! She was great at first but then got very overstimulated and fussy. She wouldn't go to sleep until we were in the car and away from all the action! Sometimes she'll still go to sleep anytime/anywhere, but for evening social events now we know to bring something for her to sleep in, in a quiet room. Going out with her will take some getting used to -- it's a lot more involved than just 'bringing the baby with you'. It requires planning, and, until I'm more comfortable with it, is very stressful if she's crying and won't settle. There are so many new things for her to adjust to as well now that she's no longer a sleepy newborn. We're going to take her to a baby-friendly cottage for a few days in July when she's just over 3 months old, hopefully she will enjoy it!

As for her musical taste, she hears a mix of nursery rhymes, Muppets and rock... and she was dancing in her bouncy chair to the Chili Peppers a couple of weeks ago... so we'll see where her taste lands!
