Lots of stuff

There are so many things from today that I think I’m going to bunch them all together – her hands, reaching for me, pulling her hair, a cowlick, and sucking her thumb. Oh my.
Hands – Today, when I went to get her up from her morning nap, she was quietly playing in her crib. I had heard some clanking on the turtle, but not much else. When I got up there, all I could see was her hands in the air over her crib rails and they were rotating. She was studying them. It cracked me up. She just kept moving them and flapping them over and over again.

Reaching up for me - She has started reaching for me more often. Not just from within her toys, but anytime she wants me to pick her up. She isn’t consistent yet, but she seems to be doing it much more often.

Pulling hair – she now pulls her hair in protest too (or when she’s tired). I can’t figure it out. It’s just amazing what a little personality she has and is developing. I am just having a blast watching it change.

Between the cowlick and her thumb sucking, I am really not sure which the bigger deal was. I noticed this morning that her hair had a “lift” in it. It was odd. No amount of water or lotion would keep it down. Can a baby REALLY have a cowlick?
