Quirks

She likes to hit things, repeatedly. I've started to make it in to a game, where I yell "BING!" when she does it, and I swear she hits harder (and she smiles more!).

She has ticklish thighs, and is ticklish under the chest strap of her harness. Sometimes, she'll laugh when you take her clothes off, or when you change her nappy. She also laughs when you run soft toys across her face, like her head is a supermarket scanner.

She will almost always rub her face while she is eating, so she gets crumbs on her face, which makes her face itcsy so she rubs her face...

She has started turning her head side to side, in bed or when she's laying on my lap or the couch. I think she likes the rubbing feeling on her head (she'll closer her eyes sometimes when you pat her head, the husband used to do it to settle her back to sleep when she was very new). Googling seems to indicate this is a normal/'grow out of it' thing, so we're trying not to read in to it.

When she's put in to her cot, she'll whinge if you don't pop the dummy in her mouth straight away. If it's just after her last feed of the 'night' (7pmish), her eyes roll back in her head pretty much as soon as it goes in. It's magic.

When she's going down for a nap, she likes to grab the edges of the blanket and pull them up and down over her face. Sometimes she sleeps hanging on to the sheet.

When you're feeding her (particularly yoghurt) she will open her mouth for the next spoonful before she has even swalled the one she is on.

She likes to make a fake cough noise. And when you ask her if she is okay, she gives you a massive smile.

When she sits on your lap and holds your hand, she rocks back and forth like she's trying to move. Except she doesn't get anywhere. And when you put her on her belly to see if she wants to move, she lifts her head up and groans at you.

When she's getting tired in the afternoon, she likes to lay on my chest and sing-sigh. It's an adorable little musical sigh, while she lays there (every so often lifting her giant head to look at me before letting it fall back down) with her eyes open, just spacing out.

Edited to add the main quirk that made me think to write this post: She circles her feet. Rolling her feet from her ankles, she makes little circles. A lot.
