We are now in the phase where EVERYTHING is interesting to Raven.  She is trying to grab my laptop and use it as we speak.  It's great because she has an abundance of toys that can entertain her but she also gets bored after awhile and needs a change of scenery.  I find stroller walks tend to really help when boredom hits.  I'm dreading the winter when we can't go on as many walks.  Sometimes we go for drives since Raven loves being in the car (thank goodness, I know some babies hate it).  Raven also loves to sing when I play music (usually more of a happy yell/scream, so punk rock singing might be in her future).   I love how curious she is but I know once she can crawl and/or walk, she will need a VERY close eye.  I might have to invest in a baby cage to soothe my paranoid thoughts of her getting into electrical chords or tipping the tv over.  Ok, I was kidding on the cage but our living room might become covered in foam padding very shortly.  It still seems like yesterday she was just a little lump that only wanted milk or sleep!
