For her first few weeks, Dorothy mostly just Ate, Slept, and Pooped. Within the last couple of days, though, things have been changing. Well, she's always been changing (it is surprising to see how things change almost every day), but this was a larger-scale change. In the last day or two, she's been spending hours awake, looking around, and making her noises, but not really fussing.
Oh, about those noises: she's making cute little noises almost constantly, even when asleep. There are some "ahhh"s and some grunts and some pseudo-cries and all sorts of sounds, and new ones appear every couple of days. It's really sort of funny, especially when she's asleep, to watch her squirm and make these silly noises. When she's awake, at first glance it might seem like she's upset, because her limbs are all moving and she's making noises. But she truly doesn't seem to be stressed. She's just looking out at the world, making her noises, and thrashing around a bit, but not crying. We've heard a bit of crying, and that's a very different state. :-)
