Recognition

There are limited pictures in this post, and I think everyone will realize why.  And some of them are old.

M has gotten to where she can predict things, at least on some level.  If she's crying, there are a few things which seem to soothe her because of what they portend. 

She's made happy by me unbuttoning my shirt. 

[This is where there isn't a picture]

Changing her diaper and swaddling her work (briefly) when she's hungry; these are things that we routinely do just before bed.

Before:

After:

(Admittedly, she may just like having her diaper changed, but she frequently has this response when there is no need to change her diaper).

Finally, she cheers up when I put the sling over my shoulder, before she's in it. 

I'm assuming that the recognition is some sort of subconscious, reflexive type of thing.

That or she's just immensely clever.
