Interactive Monkeypants

A few of Roxi's newer skills:
  • Pointing at things she likes, particularly the cats and her Dad, and shouting "Deeeesh!"
  • Playing peek-a-boo (but never on command).
  • Scooting across the floor. We call this move the tripod scootch. It's almost standard crawling, but Roxi only uses one knee and drags her other leg behind. The best way I can think to describe it visually is a moving runner's stretch.
  • Intentionally trying to make us laugh. Roxi's favorite way to do this is to take a drink from her sippy cup and then dribble the water down her shirt. She's right, too. We're suckers for that trick every time.
  • Cruising the furniture - standing up, holding onto the sofa, walking down to the end of it, moving to the coffee table, walking around it, etc.
