baby on board

Jane Goodall should see this....

Over the weekend into Monday she didn't nap very much and proceeded to be incredibly cranky. During feedings she would cry every time you gave her the bottle but would stop as soon as you put her on your shoulder. You could pat her back for 10 minutes and not get a single burp out of her and she would cry any time you flipped her over to give her the bottle.

I think this is some kind of baby dominance act and she is just establishing her rank in our family group. Think about it: she pees on us, makes us bring her food, change her soiled clothing, we plan our excursions around her feeding schedule. I'm pretty sure I've even seen her giggle after I've replaced her pacifier for the 30th time because she spit it out. Any naturalist monitoring our family would deem her the Alpha.

Although, the last few nights have been pretty quiet. Perhaps a little too quiet. We haven't really had anything to post. Maybe she feels she has us properly cowed and that her rank has been firmly established.
