Experimentation

Over the last few days Bluet has started to experiment with the world. First, she tried to figure out who the baby in the mirror is - first by pressing her forehead up against Teulb's** head, basically giving the mirror a Glasgow Kiss**, then trying to look behind the mirror for the other baby.

**wow Bluet looks funny with so little hair

Next, while in the park yesterday, she found a second pair of shoes in the bottom of the pram, and spent a good couple of minutes holding first the new shoe, and then the shoe with her foot in it, comparing and contrasting.

Finally, she got her walking thing with wheels (see 10 month vid) stuck, and with a lot of effort and shuffling around the different sides of the vehicle, almost got it turned around so she could start walking with it again.

Unfortunately I have photos of none of these events, so instead please enjoy these 2 photos from South Carolina, which are currently my favourite pics of Bluet ever.

As I walked down to the beach

whilst in the deep south, Bluet visited the seaside for the first time. What strange creature can have left these tracks in the sand?

Why, it was Bluet and her unorthodox crawling method. One leg crawls, the other drags along behind.

Still, she had a great time being given the freedom to crawl so far.

Then, her first experience of the ocean. She was curious, and it was a not unhappy experience. Her trousers, however, were a different story.

Later, back at the house, Bluet solved the mysteries of the plastic cup.
