Spinning Peanut

Our cute little daughter thrives and prospers! Every day she learns something new, and it's quite hard to follow up. She has perfectioned her social competence by loud laughter and long monologues, which she presents in a very enthusiastic manner, her articulation leaning heavily on the wet.


And who wants to be a baby anyway? With rapid strides Lia leaves boring babyhood behind to develop into a toddler. Well, not with strides, but rather with spinning movements. Our adventurous autodidact has found the coolest way to look at the world from different angles - breakdance style! Lying flat on her back Lia lifts her legs up into the air, dropping to the side, then straightening her body while roling onto her back, thus having moved by several degrees.




Words can hardly describe Lia's VERY effective way of moving in full circles. Two days ago Lia spent the night in our bed. And I definitely remember that I fell asleep with her face next to mine, only to wake up with her funny feet at my eye level. Our smart baby had turned by 180 degrees.

That is so cool. We saw our niece Asala over the weekend and - when in the mood - we can trick her into doing some YMCA-kind of dance by asking questions quickly in a row like: "How tall are you?" "Where is your ear?" and "Is that yummy?" upon which she she raises her arms, then points to her ear and then strokes her tummy - and she knows a few other moves, too. Like a puppet on a string. So cute!!!!

Tara muss mitgelesen haben... hat letzte Nacht auch einen 45 Grad Dreher auf die Matratze gelegt und mich zum Aufwachen Kamikaze Style auf die Nase getreten. Schlechtes Vorbild, Lia! Pfui!
