Roller Derby Baby

Baby Lil now has the ability to roll from her tummy to back AND new and improved feature - rolling from back to tummy! She finds this both novel and confusing. 

She has a little game that has become a favorite. I'm convinced she's trying to smother herself so it's hard to leave her alone for more than 30 seconds...it's starts quite innocently with her on her play gym. 

Eventually, she rotates her body around so she can use her legs to wrestle the arms down. Once that's accomplished, she squirms around until she's completely cocooned inside the play gym.
Once this is accomplished, she has achieved full baby-camouflage and is at one with her surroundings. Anyone not native to this habitat would not notice the baby predator on the floor...until...
She emerges, grabs any limb she could get a hold of and starts gnawing away with her toothless jaw. Once you're able to extract your gummed appendage, you're left dripping with baby goo and wondering where this little baby had been hidden. And thus begins a new round of baby predator and prey.
