So, Violet’s doing this strange thing where she opens her eyes wide, pushes her arms down, bunches up her shoulders, and open-mouth grimaces as if she’s trying to break something with all her baby-sized might (see the pictures below). She’ll also do it when she’s holding something – a toy, a book – trying to squeeze it into oblivion. Often, there is grunting involved. She looks like she’s getting ready to transform into the Hulk. She started doing it over the past few days, and when I first noticed it, I immediately thought, “Oh my God, it’s a facial tic,” and mentally prepared myself to call the ER, but I’ve experienced enough students with tics to know that this behavior didn’t fit the description. So, I’m left to my imagination to label this thing - anger issues? A desire to destroy everything in reach? Possession? Or maybe it’s just a baby being goofy.

This made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! Thank you, Bill! I think that babies are just weird sometimes. Her husband is going to love this blog someday, especially if she makes those faces as a grown up lady! A.
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteI keep smiling everytime I look at those pictures - she gets funnier every day.
As for showing the pictures to her husband, we took some pictures of her in the kiddie pool in her birthday suit yesterday and I was thinking we need to save those to show to her future significant others.
Hope you're having a great summer!
