(This picture was taken at the risk of waking the baby and to provide proof of baby's napping ...and of course she DID wake up the second the flash went off.)She has also cultivated her slobbering and grasping. I feel worried that she might be teething or "pre-teething" if that's real because she has started to drool on a constant basis...tons of sticky spit. She also is very interested in gnarling on my knuckles. I say gnarling because she does not just suck on them she chews and bites, I would even say attacks my knuckles. Brad pulled down her toys this week and she also went to town on them. I was so excited that she could hold onto the toys. And even more excited once she figured out how to maneuver them into her mouth. It was hilarious because at first she tried getting her fist in her mouth while holding the toy...which wasn't working. But after a few minutes she realized can get just the toy into her mouth; what a smart girl.
In other news I've started running. I was looking at myself yesterday and recognized my face but not my body. I had been exercising before I took my trip to Oregon, but vacation got me out of the habit. And now I'm back on track (more than a month later). Today was a total of 26 blocks, most of it was speed walking but you have to start somewhere. Anyways, I'm feeling good and will hopefully be able to report some weight loss in the next couple months.

That is not very much sleep!! Might I recommend reading "Baby Wise"? It is definitely a good guide line for how much and when your baby should be sleeping, and then just tweak it for what works for you. There is this thing called "the forty-five minute intruder" (perhaps 30 minutes for your baby), and it is just a phase where your baby wakes up 45 minutes into their naps, but really should/need to be sleeping longer. It gives some good suggestions on how to work through those phases. Anyways, just a suggestion from one mom to another. Whatever works for you!
yeah she doesn't sleep a lot...she should be sleeping for a good 2 hours at nap times. baby wise was good. i didn't follow it to a "t" but i did the whole "eat, wake-time, sleep" pattern with max and it really helped. he has always been a good napper but it didn't necessarily make him sleep through the night like it claims. but you're right - you gotta take what you can get! but, if you aren't already doing an "eat, wake-time, sleep" pattern, i'd really recommend trying to do that. also - good for you for running! it's way hard to get started and stay motivated but you're right you'll feel so much better about yourself!
