- is in 6-9 month clothes
- sleeps 12 - 14 hours a night
- takes at least 2 naps a day, one of an hour or 2
- wants to go back down for a nap after being up for 1 1/4 hours

- is beginning to try words like "boof" if she you ask her what the doggy says
- laughs really hard when tickled
- sees the joke in anything
- plays with activity centre
- rolls front to back and back to front
- reaches for anything she hasn't seen before
- smiles at herself in the mirror
