Counterproductive


Besides rolling in various directions, Lyla is beginning to maneuver her body in a way that resembles crawling. Trouble is, she moves backwards.

I've heard this is pretty normal. Still, it would be frustrating to see a wonderful treat, say an ice cream sundae or an iPhone, and by willing yourself to walk to it, you actually walked away from it.

Let me give you a Lyla-specific example. Eventually she decided that Tulip's bone should be her bone.


Tulip is deft with a bone, so Lyla wasn't able to get it away from her. Instead of giving up, Lyla decided that crawling closer would improve her angle. Here she is moments later, without any paternal interference:


Three seconds after that, she started screaming. I would've too.

Such cute pictures! Although Tulip better watch out - Lyla is going to be bigger than her soon! She should learn how to share her bones :)
