Well, there will be no more hiding things from Lily...at least things that she knows are there. I gave her a sip of my iced tea this afternoon and then put the cup on the ground behind me. She proceeded to crawl around behind me looking for it while I moved it silently in front of me. She kept going around and around me looking for the tea-then she stopped and looked up at me with this expression on her face like "Mom, I know it's there. Knock it off!" I had to resort to putting it in another room and finishing it later.
Lily is pulling herself up so easily now. She cruises a little bit, but mainly likes to stand holding onto something so she can gum it. Yep, gum it...there are still no teeth in that precious little pink mouth. My mom told me that my teeth came really, REALLY late, so Lily seems to be taking after me again.
But Lily's standing has renewed my obsession with her little feet. I adore them. She is so funny about gripping the carpet with her toes and rocking back and forth on her heels as she tries to balance. I know that once she starts walking in earnest they will start to lose their soft, new sweetness. I know that she will still like Mommy to play with her feet, though. One of her favorite games is her laying on her back with her feet in my hands and I will jiggle them all over the place in a crazy "dance" while I sing songs to her. She just giggles and giggles until she is to the point of laughing with no sound coming out. Then she will twist out of my hands and sit up only to push her feet into my hands again to start all over.
