She was 5 months and 5 days old when we placed a cookie right in front of her nose for her to smell. Her expression changed immediately, and as though seized by some strange passion, she used her little hand to grab the hand which was holding on to the cookie, and started sticking her tongue out demurely to make contact with the cookie. She licked for all it's worth, and raised her eyebrows in surprise when we took it away, turning her head left right wondering where that tasty treat went.
We tried letting her lick half a cherry but were not rewarded with a similar reaction.
And so the evil parents tried the cookie again. We took some pictures as she licked happily. Lo and behold, the girl burst into a furious cry when we took it away for good, causing P and I to guffaw.
This baby is more conscious of her surroundings with each passing day.
