New tricks this week:
She's still rolling over. Now I think she does it on purpose. Karen has been crying hysterics this week. Last night she cried for almost 2 hours straight, until we decided to take her out in the car, which finally worked. I never thought I'd see the day we'd take her in the car to calm her down--usually the car is what makes her scream hyterics. At least the nights are good for her. These days, I'd say the nights are her best time--when she's most content. All that daytime playing must turn her into this wild child.

She does eventually go to sleep, but she fights it all the way.

She doesn't grab at things, but if you put something in her hand she'll hold on to it. Sometimes I can get her to hold this with 2 hands (like a steering wheel), and she brings it straight into her mouth (and then promptly drops it).

This isn't such a great picture, but the swirl of hair on the top/back of her head is SO cute.
