Unconventional Weapons

In general, M is a nice, even-keeled baby who doesn't cause much bother and is really delightful to be around.  Today, however, she revealed a part of her personality that had heretofore remained hidden.

She doesn't fight fair. 

It all started, as so many things do, with tummy time.  I was making her do it, and this didn't really meet with much approval.

First, she attempted to eat the lamb that is put there for her amusement.


And then she started her cunning assault on tummy time.  She spit up on the mat and bolster, so I moved them away, wiped the thing down, and let her (made her) continue.


This was no better in her book, so she let fly again.

Then, when I didn't pick her up, she attempted to gag herself with her pacifier.


She finished her allotted time shortly thereafter, and when I picked her up, she immediately stopped screaming and made a noise that sounded suspiciously like "humph."

After she had eaten again, she made it clear she wanted to be put down on her back, and once there promptly attacked the mat. 


This is her grinning happily after a successful bombardment.  I don't think she knows about washing machines and other blankets, poor girl.
