From her first great escape day 1, this girl is a mover!
This girl doesn't want to sit still.
She loves to see the world and sees no problem insurmountable.
At 6 months she is babbling, has two teeth, her eyes are steel blue like Daddy's were at her age. She grasps things by opening and closing her fingers. She's 14 lb, breastfed, lean, happy, and active; her crawling has become well coordinated.
Why do we call her Houdini? She can't be contained! First she would not put up with swaddling. She needed her hands free and would not stop trying until she got them out of their bondage. She would use the weight of her head to move her body, rolling and plowing and squirming until she was right where she wanted to be (typically snuggled as close as possible to her mama in bed). Mama's milk is a great motivator! Then there was trying to dive/throw her top-heavy little self out of the high chair. After that we keep the tray in place to keep her safe! This girl knows instinctively whether someone is holding her securely or not. Go to big brother? gladly! Big sister Elinor - not a chance. But she responds with peals of laughter and silly smiles when Elinor makes outrageously silly sounds and faces at her. She won't lay down when she isn't sleepy, so try laying her in your lap for a diaper change and this girl wiggles and flips over! Now that she is crawling, watch out, she'll show up where you least expect her to be!
