Likes & Dislikes

So as Ruby is starting to develop a personality, I've discovered some of her likes and dislikes.  I associate a smile/being content with a liking of something and a cry with a disliking of something.  Let's start with what she likes:
  • She loves her mommy best :) I'm able to calm her down the fastest.
  • She loves the bouncy chair that vibrates.  Too bad we have to constantly bounce her in it, as it doesn't do this on its own.  When are they going to invent that someday?
  • When I sing silly songs to her
  • When I whistle to her
  • A new found love for the pacifier
  • When daddy changes her diaper and let's her "air out" for awhile on the changing table. Here's a Video of Ruby Dancing!
  • Walking around the house, face forward, checking out all her surroundings
  • Going for walks in the baby bjorn
  • Car rides/walks in the stroller (the constant movement/bumps put her to sleep)
And for the dislikes:
  • Bath time.  I've started getting in the tub with her and she seems to enjoy that part of it, but the second I take her out of the tub, she screams bloody murder!
  • The nasal aspirator...oh man, this is when I learned she has a set of lungs on her!  Yikes!
  • When I blow in her face.  She gasps for air like I'm drowning her when I do this, haha.  Mean mommy!
She will tolerate the swing, activity mat and tummy time for 5-10 minutes, then she's over it and gets fussy.  We're trying to introduce her to the Bumbo seat more, but I think she's still too little for it, since she can't hold up her head consistently yet.  Here's a pic I took when she wasn't feeling the Bumbo:


She's also starting to take the bottle easier lately, but still prefers the real deal ;)

And finally for the best news....she's sleeping through the night!  Pretty much...  Lately it's been anywhere from 6 to 8 hours at night.  Mommy likey!
