Lift Off



Six months brings more change to a little baby’s world than possibly the sum total of the rest of their life. Already gone are the sweetly patterned days of sleep, wake, nurse - sleep, wake, nurse. Kizuki now spends a greater portion of her day wide-awake. (And yes, most nights she sleeps!) She is acutely aware of the world around her. She wants to reach out and touch everything. She is not crawling yet but she is far from immobile. She pivots on her belly like a spinning top and drags her body across the floor like a soldier in the trenches. Just yesterday, with straight arms and straight legs, she started lifting herself high up into the air. She does it without warning and comes back down in a flash, making it a little hard to photograph.
