Changing

Isabel likes to change her mind about a lot of things.  Lately the most frustrating thing she's decided is to not sleep in her car seat anymore-the only place she would sleep!  Luckily we had just bought a playpen with a 'newborn napper' so last night after attempting to put her in the car seat only to have her wake up after 5 minutes we decided to try the napper for the night.  She surprisingly slept in it from 10-2, 3-6, and 6:30-7:30.  I'm so glad we bought the playpen!  It also comes with a vibrator that hooks on the side so that helps put her to sleep but unfortunately turns off after a 1/2 hour - why do all baby items have auto turn off? It's so frustrating.  For her naps I have to go in their every 1/2 hr and turn it back on or she wakes up (luckily this isn't so at night).  I feel like we're back at square one with her trying to figure this all out again.  I hear it gets better though =)  One thing we also discovered is she sleeps a lot better with white noise, helps put her back to sleep when she wakes up through the night.  Our favorite thing she does right now is while shes eating she'll go into a drunken milk state where she just smiles and smiles! So cute!  She starting to smile a little too, can't wait til its constant, probably another week or two.  Shes getting cuter and cuter!  Starting to fill out more which I love.  Shes talking more but fussing more too-heard 6 weeks is peak fussiness.  All in all things are great!  She's getting so fun and I know it'll just get better and better!
