Toes and tongues

May has discovered her toes! Okay, only the toes on the left-hand side, but she grabs them and yanks when she's getting changed. She can pass a toy from right to left but not left to right yet, and if she grabs something, it's usually with her left hand first. We think she's going to be a lefty -- both her grandmothers are, so Christopher and I are carriers of the gene.

Her current favorite toy is "Freddie the Firefly" which Christopher and I call the grasshopper. (Nikki included it in May's Easter basket. Or, May's Easter bag I should say.)

What's more, she's discovered a new noise. It's essentially a matter of her working her voice up through the her entire vocal range until she reaches a nigh ultra-sonic pitch -- very like a fire alarm or dog whistle -- and she makes this noise until she runs out of air. Her whole body gets into the action and her little feet and fists vibrate with intensity as she squeals loud enough that Danny hears her over the sound of his motorcycle.
