I'm stunned. She's communicating with me.

This is the third consecutive day that Sophia has communicated with me by "walking" to what she wants. When I say "walking" I really mean she's walking with my assistance. She's holding her arms above her head while holding onto my fingers and I'm offering her my hands by bending at the waist so I'm at her level. You know what I mean, the back killing "walking" that pre-walking babies want to do all the time. It certainly makes me feel old when I attempt to straighten my body back to normal and am basically stuck midway up for what feels like forever. Oh well. Back to the good stuff...

The past 2 days I could tell that Sophia was getting hungry for dinner. She was puckering her lips in her cute little pursed way and acting antsy. Normally I ask her if she's hungry and offer her an empty spoon to see if she opens up for a bite. If she does then we begin the mealtime routine. I decided to skip my part to see how she would react. In fact I didn't even let her know I knew she was hungry. Instead I offered her my hands to take a walk. She proceeded to "walk" from the dining room into the kicthen straight to her highchair and then she stopped. It really floored me.


I tried it again last night and she did the same thing. Whenever she was hungry for dinner she led me over to her highchair and stopped.





Just this morning she did it again. This time we were playing in her bedroom. I had attempted to put her down for a nap only 10 minutes earlier and she absolutely refused to be placed into her crib so we continued to play with her toys and Sadie. When she acted like she wanted to walk I gave her my hands and she walked right over to her crib and stopped. I lifted her into it and she immediately grabbed onto Lamb and started rolling around and cuddling with him. WOW! Lights out!

Do all babies do this? Personally I think she's a genious, but I'm slightly biased.
