I have the same mirror I had in there before, plus a couple of toys. She doesn't always grab the toys, but she'll stroke them, and I think that helps to keep her occupied. I hope it just keeps getting better from here!
Yay!

That's awesome news!

And just to give you more hope for how quickly things can change, yesterday for the first time ever in my life with any child, I ended up driving my former carseat screamer around for an hour and a half as a last resort to get him to take a nap. Yep. He's gone from carseat hater to carseat sleeper in a matter of weeks. Just when you think you have it figured out, they change the rules on ya.

Yay!! My babe seems to be getting better too, at 11 weeks. Phew! I don't know for sure what's done it but it seems that waiting until after she's had a good nap, but is awake and ready to play, or waiting until she's right about to fall asleep, works best. If she wakes up in the car already moving she's most upset. Then again, who knows - it could change tomorrow!
