Well, not all smiles for a few days this week, but she’s back to happiness abounding. I’ve been grateful to have the book “The Wonder Weeks” (lent to us by a very thoughtful friend), which describes when and how different leaps in mental development happen in babies. The book describes how these leaps will affect behavior and mood, and I have to say it is pretty spot-on. It’s so nice to know that periods of fussiness are just that, small moments in an otherwise happy outlook on life. I highly recommend picking it up if you have or are thinking of having a little one. I think the info applies to the first year or two, and the website seems to have a lot of great info: thewonderweeks.com. And I’m not even being paid to say that.

Thanks, Laurie! We LOVE seeing things like this and we are so glad we are being helpful!
FYI, we also have an iPhone app (check us out at the app store) for an on-the-go glance and you can find us on Facebook & Twitter. We’re posting questions and answers from Frans Plooij (The Wonder Weeks’ author).
Thanks for the link! I have four and I still have a struggle figuring out what is going on sometimes. She is just a doll! Thansk for sharing.
Peace, Angela
