She also shrieks. Some of her favorite places to shriek are during Sacrament meeting or church altogether, the library when her mom isn't done selecting and it is very quiet and she wants to leave, and at the store when she wants out of her carseat even though I am only halfway done shopping and I can hardly hold a child in one arm and steer the cart with the other hand.
Another thing she does when she is excited, frustrated, or just for fun (and sometimes along with shrieking) is clenching her fist together and shaking them by her head as her face gets red. This is hilarious to watch. It is as if she has all this energy cooped up and is trying to release it.
She has also started to pull her hair. This one makes me sad and I wonder why she does it, but she never cried b/c of it. It looks like she pulls it hard too. It is usually when she is tired or eating. When she is eating she usually has rice cereal on her hands from grabbing the spoon, therefore gets the cereal in her hair when she pulls it.

Lily has developed some new habits not so endearing, but all the same cute (at least to the mom- sometimes). She has now started to: play with my hair, or pull my hair; however you want to say it. This one isn't too fun, but I think it is cute she wants to play with it and touch it. The worst is when she only gets a couple pieces of hair and pulls instead of a chunk. For some reason pulling only a couple hairs hurts way more than pulling a bunch.
