She is a pretty calm baby, and really only gets upset when she's tired. Or when she's in the car, although we're working on that one! She screamed for over an hour on the way home from Indiana Beach before she finally gave up and just stared into space!
She loves playing on her "elephant" floor mat, and is getting quite skilled at hitting the toys that dangle from it. She still loves her "bears" mobile, and doesn't hate the bouncy seat. She is getting better about lifting her head during tummy time, but loves to lay across my legs, which also strengthens her neck muscles, so I'm not too worried!
She sleeps in her crib at night (well, in the co-sleeper, which is in the crib) and often sleeps 8 hours at a time! On Sunday night she actually slept a 10-hour stretch for the first time ever! She sleeps in her swaddle, and I think that helps her to sleep for such long stretches! Naps are usually in her crib (also swaddled), unless we have visitors, in which case, she doesn't want to leave the "action" and prefers to snuggle in my arms (which I don't really mind...) And occasionally she'll still sleep in her bouncy seat, which was Adele's favorite nap-time spot at this age (well...when Adele napped at this age, that is!)
She took a bottle from Mommy without any problems...of course, I gave it to her at the *perfect* time-she had just woken up from a LONG nap, and was perfectly content, if not a tad bit hungry! The next step will be to get Daddy to feed her a bottle, but since I'm not going back to work this fall, we're not too concerned about her needing to take a bottle.
All in all, she's just a real sweetie and we think we'll keep her!
