She's a year now and she's acting more calm. Her new "outlet" of walking and climbing is helping her do something with all of that energy. I will DEFINATELY have to get her involved in sports as she gets a little older.

She is still very sensative to waking but only waking now 3X a night. I could handle this forever, it is much better than the 10-13 X a night only a month ago. Whew!!!! She will be a very passionate person and probably misunderstood because every little thing is a BIG thing to her.

Going out to restaraunts is still a crap-shoot as she prefers to be in mom's lap instead of the high-chair. Being able to feed herself keeps her hands busy.

I have discovered that keeping her busy and being held is the key to her happiness. She is a sweet, happy baby now as long as she is entertained and has company that will hug/hold her.

I write this to give all mamas hope. HTH.
