Getting harder and easier?

C has just reached the point where she is interested in toys. She wants to sit in her exersaucer or play with buggy or read about the Five Silly Monkeys. And she wants to eat some solids.

She no longer eats, poops, and sleeps. Now she gets fussy because she’s too excited about food or buggy. And she now gets fussy because she’s tired and cranky, which newbabies don’t tend to do. Now she does a lot more and expects a lot more. And I feel like I’m playing catch up with figuring out what she wants, when it was easy before.

Katie tells me it will get easier soon, when she can pick things up better. But right now I’m not sure what to make of these changes or how to respond to them.
