How sleep evolves

One of the things that has fascinated me most about babies is the transformation from deep, peaceful sleep to cranky wakefulness and crying. I'm the type of person who appreciates silence. Sounds like dripping faucets and creaky door hinges aggravate me. The noise of lawn mowers and vacuums aggravate me even more.

Now that we have a baby, those sounds pale in comparison to the sound of Vanessa crying. Fortunately, with a two month old, we can quell the crying pretty easily. "Easily" does not necessarily mean quickly, but there's generally three logical needs that she might want fulfilled: food, diaper change, or hugging/affection.
