Sleep Disorders

Who knew an infant's sleep habits would could cause so much anxiety? I am frantically reading through every book I can find on naps. (again, who knew an entire library exists on such a topic) Emily has decided that she would rather play with her best friend, then nap. I don't actually blame her, but, like everyone, she is in quite a mood by late afternoon.

Under Observation

Emily tracks my every move. According to Week By Week: An Infant's First Year, she can now see up to 24 feet away. However, I like to get right up in her face when I speak with her. I am sure, when she can communicate in English, she will tell me she has space issues.

When she is not watching me, she closely exams her hands. She is not yet sure what to make of them. After about 10 minutes of scientific probing, she happily sticks them in her mouth.
