Grandma V comes to visit.

My mom came to visit this weekend. We picked her up at the SeaTac Airport at 7:30 on Thursday evening. I could tell from her emails and our conversations that she was quite excited to see Molly. We've had a rather mellow weekend of hanging out, watching Molly sleep, eat, and cry when she wants to eat or has a messy diaper.

After only two weeks we are already surprised how quickly we have seen changes in Molly. She is getting much more alert and active. She is sometimes entertained by the ceiling fan, is already holding here head up at moments, and I think can now start to recognize her hunger cry versus other cries. We've already begun the continuous game of wondering how to sooth her; one evening one thing works, the next maybe not. She seems to be a bit of a night owl and very awake at 10:00 pm. Along with preferring to wake at 10:00, at that time soothing her is the most difficult of any time of day - adding to the challenge of our desire to go to bed. I'm thinking I should go with the flow and shift my schedule from going to bed at 10:00 p.m. and waking at 5:00-5:30 a.m. to a 11:00-6:00 schedule. I guess that isn't much of a concern and will make it easier to handle helping Trina with the 2 nightly feedings and diaper changes.
