My Delightful Weirdo

Yesterday, Geneva baffled and amused me with the following activities:

• Deliberately diving face-first off of the ottoman.
• Picking imaginary things off of the cat and bringing them to me.
• Peering at the world from between her legs for fairly long stretches of time.
• Kissing the wall repeatedly.
• Pretending to eat her food with a loud, fake munching sound.

She also astonished me with two heretofore unprecedented skills:

• Eating a meal entirely unassisted, and I don't mean a finger-food meal. I mean a goopy, messy, use-your-spoon meal. A lot of food missed her mouth, but even more of it went in! Color me amazed.

• Conversation. I had my first actual exchange of words with my daughter, and I'm pleased to tell you that it centered around produce. 

                       Geneva: What dis? 

                       Me: That's a tomato. Do you like it? 

                       Geneva: Mmm. Yep.

A day in the life, eh? I have the best job ever.
