Hand-holding

Daphne is perfect.

Here are a couple things that demonstrate this:

-Hand holding
Whenever you place your hand in her vicinity, especially if giving her a pacifier, she reaches out and clings to your hand. In the middle of the night when she fusses, I'll reach over to replace to her pacifier and she just grabs my hand and draws it to her.

-Squealing hour
Starting at about three months, Daphne had been sleeping pretty well through the night. But she liked to get up very early. Probably because the sun started coming up at nearly five in the morning. So after a quick snack between four and five, she would get placed back in her bassinet and then spend the next hour squealing. She was rarely fussy, she was just practicing using her voice. But it was consistent for at least a month. Pleasant squealing, cooing, and talking for nearly an hour.

-Toe eating
She loves to engage her core and lift her feet high in the air. She stretches and extends them well above the side of her bassinet. And she will occasionally lower her toes right into her little hands and direct them into her mouth.
