The woodland creatures are no longer safe

So for most of Lucy's short life, her times on the changing table were pleasant and calm idles (she's always loved having her diaper changed), when she would flail her limbs gently and gaze up at the Winnie the Pooh mobile hanging overhead. At some point she started trying to touch the animals, but had so little control over her limbs that they just moved in the general direction of the creatures only to go somewhere else. Lucy eventually grew more adept at controlling her limbs, and could reach out to bat them, though most of the time she would miss. Then in these last weeks she has gotten really good at holding onto things and putting them in her mouth- blankets, shopping lists, my hair, washcloths. Still, the mobile was just a bit out of reach and usually turned peacefully in its little circle.

That was until this past week, when it became very clear to the Hundred-Acre-Woods critters that they were no longer safe. One morning, Lucy reached out and grabbed Eeyore down so she could suck on him, causing the whole contraption to shake and twist violently. Since then she's also gotten Pooh Bear a few times, and I'm sure Piglet is a little nervous that he'll be next. When she's not grabbing them down, she will sometimes hold her hand out steadily, her fingers just brushing the feet of the animals. She also talks to them, staring with great concentration at their little faces.

We're amazed at how much Lucy is growing- sometimes she wakes up in the morning and seems like a whole new baby! She is such a delight and is getting cuter every day. We'll try to post some pictures and another video soon, though my mom is visiting this next week so it may not be for a few days.
