Nothing made her happier than discovering hidden pots and pans inside drawlers, unloading clean knives and forks from the dishwasher, taking a peek inside the mysterious refrigerator, tearing Daddy’s favorite painting which used to be out of her reach, or dropping a spoon from the highchair over and over again. And if I was not stifling the urge to say “no!”, I would find myself stuck in her tossing or dropping game. Yes, at this age, it looked more like DD was training me rather than the opposite way.

Yes, that is DD. Her newfound mobility enabled her to explore her surroundings and discover hidden pots and pans inside kitchen drawlers, unload clean knives and forks from the dishwasher, take a peek inside the mysterious refrigerator and tear Daddy’s favorite painting which used to be out of her reach. Our fearless baby terminator was back, with better gears.
