I had such an easy baby even though she was a c-section. She slept through the night from the time she came home from the hospital. La ter on when she started eating cereal (ASAP) I fed her right before I went to bed making sure she slept all night. No colic or anything do had it really easy. At 6 months, had her out backpacking in the sierras with us on long weekends. I promised myself that my life wasn't going to change because of a baby but she was going to be a complete part of the family. Lol she started down hill skiing at 2 1/2 years old & by 5 was doing intermediate slopes in Jackson Hole. It's really fun to watch how quickly they learn & enjoy being part of family activities....I'm sure you will have a hunting partner girl or boy.
