Sleeping Beauty

Haley had her 6 month shots on Friday. She cried a little while the nurse was doing it, but then she was fine. They always seem to make her sleep! She took nap after nap, then slept for 13 hours straight that night, and went back down for another hour. Tired little monkey.
I thought that with all the sleep, she'd be in a great mood on Saturday, no such luck! We went over to Charlie's parent's place, she screamed almost the entire time. She was ok for a bit when we brought her home, so we put her in her jolly jumper (where she's always happy). We had a few friends come by, and while she was jumping, she was in a great mood. As soon as we took her out of the jolly jumper and passed her around, the not so happy face came out again. She went off to bed a little earlier than usual, and again had a great sleep. This time she slept for 11 hours straight, then back down for another 3 hours.
Today Haley has been great! My parents came over for lunch, brought us chicken and stuff. Haley smiled away the whole time, then went off for a nap. When she woke up, we decided to go for a walk, it was so nice out today! Of course the fresh air wore her out, so she went straight to sleep when we got home. When she woke up, she played with her toys and did a little bouncing, laughing away as she jumped. Charlie's grandparents came over while she was bouncing, which brought us to a new discovery. Haley needs a warm up period with most people. If we give her straight over to someone when they walk in the door, or when we go to someone's house, she's not happy. If she gets a little time to get used to them, and doesn't get smothered, she'll be fine. We tried handing her over to Charlie's grandmother and she screamed! Once they had been here for a little while and she was smiling at them, we tried again, she was fine. She didn't complain until she started to get tired, but at least it wasn't full on crying, just a little whimper. We got her ready for bed, put her down and she went straight to sleep. All in all, a very nice weekend :)
