Well, this definitely qualifies as "minutiae," but I'll take what I can get nowadays...
For a while J has taken four (!) 45-minute naps every day. If she misses that last one, oh the drama that ensues...
Anyway, for a few days she has been fussy going down for her first one, which after all is at 7:30 am. Geez Louise. Isn't that when most babies get UP? Today it didn't happen at all...
...and today we figured out that she is bagging that nap. Yes, she still gets up at 6-6:15ish ("the farmer checking her crops"), but now she goes down for the first time at 9 am or so. This seems a bit more normal...
It's definitely true that by the time Mom and Dad settle into baby's schedule, it changes.
This whole process is fascinating to me, mainly because J isn't doing *any* of it deliberately...that is, it's her body giving us the cues, not an active decision to change behavior. The advent of clear circadian rhythms really affects everything around this age.
It does mean less rest for Dad for the moment (since he's on baby duty after I go to work each morning), but naturally we'll go in the direction J points us.
