Luke like flexibility
Over Mother's Day, we were amazed to see our nephew Luke (the same age as Avery and Riggs - literally, he's 2 days older - only 50% longer, and 50% leaner) display some remarkable flexibility by pulling his foot to his mouth and sucking on his toes. Tim tried this recently and nearly tore a hamstring. Clearly Luke is related to his Uncle Chris, who has also displayed some unusual flexibility over the years. Anyway, Avery - much shorter and "stouter" than Luke - has recently found her feet and has slowly been stretching her hammies, slowly but surely dragging the feet closer to her mouth. This morning, on the changing table, unencumbered by diaper, swaddle, sleepsack and pajamas (i.e., full monty), she finally made it and inserted foot into mouth. She was clearly amazed by the dual sensation of warm tickled toes and having the equivalent of five, simultaneous, wiggling pacifiers in her mouth, as even her pudgy foot couldn't hide her smile. Way to go Avery. The tall skinny kid (Luke) has nothing on you.

so I'm wondering now if "putting one's foot in one's mouth" in later years is something we each carry over from early childhood, you know, like its a fun thing?
