Turkey Day and shots

Alice had a visit to the doctor on Wednesday, and she got a bunch of shots. She didn't like any of them. She seems to be thriving and in good health, except for the cold that has infected the whole family.

Her sleep schedule continues to evolve. In fact, we think that some of the evening grumpies were induced by us. About a week ago, we started settling her to bed at 7, and that seems to work pretty well. So it is possible that we kept her up with us during the evening when all she wanted was to go to bed. Other than that, the afternoon nap looks to be regularizing, which is great.

Based on her measurements at the doc, she is average in length, and about 80th percentile in weight.

Every day she is more alert, and we are having a hard time settling her. The doctor said there is a window 8-16 weeks when babies are alert enough that they can't be settled by their parents and they don't know how to settle themselves to sleep. Hopefully this will pass soon.
