There are pros to her getting bigger, and pros to her still being very little.

Part of the delight when your baby learns a New Things is because THE CHILD, IT DEVELOPS and part of it is because you're so bored you could cry, so a new thing is a New!

HERSELF. BACK. TO. SLEEP.

And then when I went to get her, she stopped screeching and smiled up at me out of the crib like, Hullo, this is rather embarrassing but I seem to have fallen into a pit? Would you fetch me out? And I was like, Ha ha, little goldfish, I PUT YOU THERE, but you are not far enough developed to remember.
