This is our life

Gretchen found this while reading about Baby's development this morning:
"Strong-willed and high-strung babies require an extra dose of patience and gentle guidance. They often don't adapt to changing surroundings as easily as calmer babies, and will become increasingly upset if pushed to move or perform before they're ready."
High-strung she's not, but strong-willed? With a vengeance. (From what we understand, this is not unlike her mother when she was a child.) She's the only baby we know who won't take naps of longer than 30 minutes, in part because she seems afraid that if she sleeps any longer she might miss something good. (And yes, we're often guilty of ascribing adult motives to her infant behavior...)
