15 Weeks Old

BabyCenter says a bit about sleep - but it actually is different from what I have been reading in most of my books. The site suggests that "two daytime naps are usual now", but from what I have seen, at Brookes age 3 naps is more appropriate. Babies at her age can only stay awake from about 1-2 hours before they need a nap. If you do the math, 2 naps in one day don't add up (unless each of those naps is 3-4 hours!).

Babycenter also suggests that Brooke is increasingly curious, and might like to look at her own reflection. We have found that she isnt too excited about her own reflection, but I did have her watch herself on video (Brooke Talks) and she was mezmerized. I think it was more the noise than the sight!

Lefty Or Righty?
I have noticed that Brooke tends to favor her left hand, and was sure that she is going to be a lefty (just like her mommy). But according to developmental guidelines, babies tend to favor one hand for a while ... but then switch to the other. I wont be able to tell if she is a southpaw until she is 2-3 years old!
