For the longest time Lilli has seemed to me to be a kind of larva. A very cute and delightful larva, but completely dependent on me for everything and not doing much in the way of purposeful movement. But today, as though she'd had some kind of an epiphany, she just kind of reached out and tried to grab one of the toys in her gym. Up to now, she'd just kind of stared at them, and sometimes swiped them when she was flailing about. But now a new era of purposeful reaching has begun!
